While SF contains many great Stones songs, Sway has been my favourite SF-song from the beginning on: great rhythm/groove, that special Stones mid tempo, wonderful melody, (harmony) vocals and Taylor guitar. Besides great lyrics. A classic Stones song.

for album artwork.
This is a letter from Mick Jagger to Andy Warhol concerning the artwork for the album.
There is a bit of debate as to which album Mick is referring to. Most think it is ‘Sticky Fingers’ which featured a shot of Joe Dallesandro’s crotch, with workable zip, and for the first time showcased the band’s tongue and lips logo.
But there is a discrepancy over the date with some saying the letter is dated too early for this to be related to ‘Sticky Fingers’.
21st April, 1969
Andy Warhol,
33 Union Square,
W.N.Y.10003
NEW YORK
Dear Andy,
I’m really pleased you can do the art-work for our new hits album. Here are 2 boxes of material which you can use, and the record.
In my short sweet experience, the more complicated the format of the album, e.g. more complex than just pages or fold-out, the more @#$%&-up the reproduction and agonising the delays. But, having said that, I leave it in your capable hands to do what ever you want………..and please write back saying how much money you would like.
Doubtless a Mr.Al Steckler will contact you in New York, with any further information. He will probably look nervous and say “Hurry up” but take little notice.
Love,
(Signed)
MICK JAGGER

In April 1969, Let It Bleed was probably already finished,including the cover design. It was released later that yeasr to coincide with the '69 tour.
Mick was probably referring to their next album after LIB (which he jokingly called "our new hit album" ). In fact you see the Stones working on SF in Gimme Shelter the movie.

The letter to Warhol relates to 'Through The Past Darkly', which came out in September 1969. However, in the end they didnt use a Warhol piece for the artwork.
