i really like the first one-Just the Band!--Nothing else!
or is it BB---SF---TSMR---LIB--or?? Exile oer LYL?
maybe some girls?

I like Between the Buttons. Brian looks so out of it. The photographer used lip balm or something to distort the outer edges of the picture, giving a cool look. Love the clothes! Hippy-dippy London moderns.

Also, No Security. Do you think those two folks are "woo-woo" types?

Aftermath UK version is also a great shot.

Stripped..Still the baddest boys in town.

I like Aftermath (UK) and Between the Buttons as well.
Love You Live and Their Satanic Majesties are both great as well.

The worst, maybe Undercover or Its Only Rock n Roll

Speaking of Undercover...any owners of the vinyl ever take the stickers off, specifically the triangular one? What have I been missing all these years?

You've been missing out on a bad smell.................

I think I like the Black and Blue cover the best, I just crack up at the picture of Keith everytime!!!

I also think Exile is a pretty intresting cover

Through The Past, Darkly.

"The wonder of Jimi Hendrix was that he could stand up at all he was so pumped full of drugs." Patsy, Patsy Stone

I like Stickey Fingers, Beggars Banquet, Get Yer Ya Ya's Out, and Bridges to Babylon.

Raise your glass to the good and the evil, Let's drink to the salt of the earth.

Yeah, I like the Stripped cover, too, but compare it to the cover of the NY Dolls first album--sitting on the couch and just looking cool. Hmmmm--an accidental coincidence?

Some Girls, especially when you take the sleeve in the bathroom and look at it from the mirror.

i like SOME GIRLS and First Album cover .Also EXILE is cool. Steel Wheels cover is a mistake.

Black and Blue

There are a lot of ugly covers, but I like Some Girls and Exile. Worst: IORR

Exile, the only one where the package reflects the content: dark & messy, Americana.. The only cover also that can stand on its own as a piece of art. Great piece of work by Robert Frank.

Ugliest must be DW. Again: form reflects content! (sorry Deidre)

Is there a sigle cover of the rolling stones records era that is something less than brilliant?

Always liked the "Hot Rocks" photos.
I recall the the hours of fun naming
who's head was who's, very cool!
Also, the boys at the castle on the back
was an intersting shot.

Thru the Past Darkly in Octangular framing
also does it for me. All hairy and scary!
Broken glass too, can't beat it!




- Thru our past darkly...

hi,
nothing is cooler for the time..for that matter nothing cooler now..through the past, darkly....the pictures and the shape of the album.. it sure makes them look like the bad boys of rock..

Yes, the Little Queenie single (1970)

it's Only Rock'n'Roll, Bridges to Babylon, Stripped. Maybe the Sticky Fingers LP.

I've always liked Aftermath US, Hot Rocks and Through The Past, which is the last photo session Brian did with the band in late May 69 just days before he was asked to leave.

It's Only Rock and Roll is my favorite. All those females worshipping the Stones. Mick looking elegant, Keith with ill fitting clothes...Mick Taylor lokking like a choir boy...the Gods coming down from Mount Olympus.

Original Some Girls and Beggars Banquet with the toilet

i love the cover for big hits, high tide...you know the one thats all foresty with brian in the front, yah thats probably my favorite that and let it bleed for its randomness.

Tattoo You, is far away the coolest
