The Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers

I am the orginal owner of this album, it has been played only a handful of times on an original AR turntable and is in perfect condition.

 

Review of what makes this cover Special from: http://sleevage.com/

What better way to welcome new guitarist Mick Taylor and celebrate starting your own record company than coming up with one of the most memorably direct album sleeves of all time? Second only to John Pasche’s Lips and Tongue logo, Sticky Fingers’ giant nob in denim is as savvy a coporate ad as you could come across. Plus, it still straddles avant and mainstream as well now as it ever did.

The insert sleeve featured the first ever use of the tongue logo and showed the lads in all their 1971 funny trousers and velour pants glory. Like the cover, there’s no fluff – just the logo once, one photo and some credits.

 

Conceptualized by Andy Warhol and designed by Craig Braun , it’s trashy, bold, genuine and stark- a perfect representative for the records contents and, let’s face it, everyone has at some point assumed that’s Mick Jaggers’ tockley on the front. I’m not 100% , but apparently it’s either Warhol regular Joe Dallesandro or Braun’s photographic assistant Jed Johnson in the photo but who cares? Not me. When your album is this good you can put your dick where you like.

 

Sticky Fingers is the ninth studio album by English rock band The Rolling Stones, released in April 1971. It is the band's first album of the 1970s and its first release on the band's newly-formed label, Rolling Stones Records, after having been contracted since 1963 with Decca Records in the UK and London Records in the US. It is also Mick Taylor's first full-length appearance on a Rolling Stones album, and the first not to feature any contributions from founding guitarist Brian Jones. In 2003, Sticky Fingers was listed as number 63 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500
