it´s really a piece of art, in the super deluxe boxset you can see the little hairs in the painting, i really like the concept and the merchandising about GRRR!

Is that by Gilbert Shelton? The guy that did the Dead and Janis Joplin covers.

The Rolling Stones (Decca, U.K.) is my favourite. Just four moody looking young men. No words necessary on the sleeve. The picture says everything.

Maybe he referred to a reissue with Bill airbrushed out?
Of course, I'd forgotten about that one!

I can not get into calling the Stones a 4 piece band - ever.

Gilbert Shelton drew "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers".
The artist you're thinking of is Robert Crumb. [en.wikipedia.org]

Ok, I was wrong about the Big Brother and the Holding Company album cover...but Shelton did indeed do the Dead's Shakedown Street cover

As far as Stones album covers go,I never understood the popularity of the Sticky Fingers album cover among straight men.
A great album but,the cover / artwork is nothing that I enjoy seeing,myself.
I would rank the covers / artwork of Voodoo Lounge , Steel Wheels , and Emotional Rescue way ahead of the Sticky Fingers "artwork".

I do not understand the reasoning behind this ridiculous airbrushing of Wyman's image.
It simply makes no sense.
If he were hideous to look at, and the Stones were in a part of their career where they are trying to portray a flashy image, it would make sense. But he was one of the tough looking ones all up to the 80's. And they are in their 70's - they are not going to teeny bopper market anymore.
If he had royally pissed them off, and this was an ongoing act of vengeance, it would make sense. But he retired in basically good standing with rest of band.
If it was a matter of them just wanting to be known as a 4 piece it would make a little sense, but they are one of the most photographed acts in the world. Everybody knows their story and legacy, and cover artwork - so you can't tell the world "we have been a 4 piece all along".
Makes no f&ckin sense to me. There is no upside to this. What is the advantage? Its not even worth the cost of having to get him removed from pics. Let alone the hurt it puts on Bill.

Posting photoshop faked pictures on IORR might be fun but in general will not allow it.

Always thought Let It Bleed's cover somehow didn't fit with the album.

Because... it's art? Because... that's just a weird mentality. Straight men shouldn't like the cover of STICKY FINGERS.
That's just flat out whack.
What's next? Straight men shouldn't like SOME GIRLS because the Stones seem to appear dressed in drag? Or the cover of HYSYMBSITS? Is the inside sleeve of BLACK AND BLUE too feminine? I'm sure there's more.
I'm straight and it's fine with me. Not sure what you issue is with that. So you like bad album artwork like VOODOO LOUNGE and STEEL WHEELS and EMOTIONAL RESCUE. I'm gonna guess you love DIRTY WORK.
