Possibly it was, and it just isn't that obvious. For one, it isn't just a 'blue' color.
It's actually a color change that flows, from different shades of purplish/red/magenta to shades of blue. And as I have always loved the different versions of Stones tongues, I love the way that the blue color of the tongue blends in with the left side completely, to where you cannot make out the shape of the tongue, i.e. on the lower left side.

great,but for those of us who quit dropping acid a few years ago it's the cover of 40 licks and the front of about 10 million t-shirts only in blue.
how fcking cheezy is that -we're making a "blues album" so we're gonna have a "blue tongue" for the cover.wow that's just so cool cause ya see the tongue is blue and the stones are playing blues-what is this a pepsi ad,it's like those fast food joints "in honor of the olympics we're putting the olympic rings colors on every happy meal"
guys,the cover BLOWS!

It's not likely, I suppose, but I'm wondering if the blue-tongue image is a "placeholder" until the album actually comes out Dec. 2 with something really engaging and thoughtfully conceived. Or, maybe it's a kind of huge, removable poster-sleeve à là the original Emotional Rescue vinyl, with some cool montage of the old blues masters covered on the album, underneath That would help refute the opinion expressed in Slate recently:

I like your thinking vtstonesfan...maybe it's just temporary and disposable.
And your idea of 'huge, removable poster-sleeve à là the original Emotional Rescue vinyl' is great!
Paying respect to the blues masters that they borrowed so heavily from, and are once again making money from.
Your concept is creative, and took more thought and imagination than recycling the tongue again...they should have consulted with you!

Does anyone know what the deluxe 2 lp vinyl version includes, looks like nothing more than the album on 2 records instead of one. Don't get it.

Well for those that aren't mental midgets, as stated before, it's not just 'blue' ... it has a design that is likely based on marketing, as stated, and the 'blue' is a symbol, again, used often in art, that the ignorant seem to have no clue about. A 'blue' album cover for blues, btw, makes more sense then a green cover, although I guess that would make you think its more abstract or something.
Oh my god! Beatles Abbey Road has Abbey Road on the cover! How obvious!!
Oh my god! Between the Buttons emphasizes buttons -- Seriously!
Oh my god! Hotel California has a hotel on it! Ridiculous!!
Yeah, an album about Blue, w/ Blue in the title, should have been green, i guess.

I like it! It doesn't say much, but this is probably their best album cover since Undercover.
Agreed,and I hope the music will be good as well.

So you're saying that it's a blue album cover for a blues cover album?
Remarkable!
