Although the cover for Start Me Up was bizarre, when I went to pick up Anybody Seen My Baby? I was completely stifled: stamps? As in postal stamps.

What kind of single cover is that?

It felt cheap. Oh here's the current logo, in a format that's hard to see, that was cheap to make, for a single that has awful remixes and no B-side.

Dunno if this one is so much better ....

The butt?

I don't know. I like the "Anybody Seen My Baby" single artwork.

Weird for me would be the "Almost Hear You Sigh" single artwork above, "Have You Seen Your Mother Standing in the Shadow" , and "One Hit (To the Body)" single artwork.

Despite the artwork of the covers,"Almost Hear You Sigh" is one of the best songs the Stones have and "One Hit" is great as a song as well.

I disagree - I like Almost Hear You Sigh. Mostly they've taken a lot of trouble over album covers but Satanic Majesties Request (strangely) is a bit pedestrian. Maybe that's the passing of years

A good one in the nasty vein of Undercover was already Shattered (and of course Angie).

What an unbelievably hideous assortment of artwork.

Mick picking his teeth is wild.

Maybe some find the illustration chosen for 'One Hit' weired, but Francesco Clemente was one of leading painters of Transavanguardia, at the time. His oils are exhibited in many museums, nowadays.

no B-side.

No sense in replicating such a bygone concept, with a format that only had one playable side.

OH DEAR..!!!! .... VERONICA thee winner ... ^^^^^^^^^^

My vote is for the one with the prepostrophe.

I tell ya, those S'wiss...

dunno...but my favourite weird one is JJF. Jagger with a dagger in his mouth and Brian holding a mini pitch fork...love it.

The next single had a B-side.

"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

That Winning Ugly cover... UGLY is correct. At least Harlem Shuffle's cover was nice.

I've been hanging on the phone, I've been sleeping all alone I want to kiss you...

Yes. The "Saint of Me" CD single had a few. One studio b-side and a couple of live b-sides and a "Saint of Me" remix. There were again multiple remixes and multiple different CD singles.

The sense in the concept was to offer non-album material to those who already owned the album.

The Winning Ugly single artwork is by far the absolute worst one among the worst. Right up there with the Primitive Cool LP cover.
