I think Keith is saying "you're standing on my foot", or something

I surmise Sucking in the 70s just plain SUCKED as an album cover. Steel Wheels too for that matter

Othello, eh Olly? Probably more Hal and Hotspur at that point in time....both vying for the same kingdom.

Thanks for your input, but I wasn't asking which album covers you liked or disliked.
You can surmise, assess, critique something regardless of its perceived quality.
What do those covers mean to you; what do you think they represent?

Between lectures today, I was looking at the cover of Black and Blue. Richards appears to be saying or whispering something into Jagger's ear. What do you suppose this might be?

Their covers are a bit odd at times. GOATS HEAD SOUP... with Mick's face? TATTOO YOU... with Mick's face?
Most of the 1960s covers have the entire band on them. If I'm not mistaken, BEGGARS BANQUET is the first LP to not have the band on the cover.
What do I surmise of them? I dunno. DIRTY WORK is easy: let's look trendy and awful and it will define the album.
Ever since that LP, their covers have been too slick. The voodoo... bunny? That's always been a head scratcher. BRIDGES is nice but it's a glossy cartoon. NO SECURITY, uh, OK, so all kinds of people go see the Stones. BANG was - it seemed like a bit of a throwback in a way, the 4 of them gathered around the light exploding, with the mirrored bottom image a bit different.
Perhaps that's what that meant in a way, that ABB was "a bit different than it appears".
I thought UNDERCOVER was brilliant - a dirty almost violent cover with goofy things on it depending on the stickers being on or off. It's a great summation of the music inside.
