Additional information about this Carly Simon vinyl art.

Carly Simon – The Artist

Carly Simon is an American singer-songwriter, musician and children’s author. She first rose to fame in the 1970s with a string of hit records including “Nobody Does It Better“.  Nobody Does It Better comes from the 1977 James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me.

You’re so Vain – The Song

You’re so Vain is a song by the American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released as a single in November 1972. The lyrics describe a self-absorbed lover, whose identity has long been a matter of speculation. Simon said the song refers to three men, one of whom she has named publicly—the actor Warren Beatty. Simon wrote “You’re So Vain” over the course of a year. The song was originally titled “Bless You, Ben.”The bass guitar introduction was played by Klaus Voormann. The strings were arranged by Simon and orchestrated by Paul Buckmaster. It was a international hit in the UK and the US.

Selfie – The Shape 

This record has been cut into a vain man taking a selfie of himself with a smartphone. A selfie is a self-portrait photograph or a short video, typically taken with an electronic camera or smartphone. The camera would be usually held at arm’s length or supported by a selfie stick instead of being controlled with a self-timer or remote. The concept of shooting oneself while viewing their own image in the camera’s LCD monitor is also known as self-recording. Selfie, as it has become known, is one of the most popular forms of self-portraiture in modern life. The availability of current apparatus allows anyone to produce a self-portrait.
