The only good Vegas era cover. I like it. The worst is ABB.
Is that by Gilbert Shelton? The guy that did the Dead and Janis Joplin covers.
William Stout. He did a lot of Stones bootleg covers.
Four moody looking young men?
"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"
Gilbert Shelton drew "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers".
The artist you're thinking of is Robert Crumb. [en.wikipedia.org]
"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"
Maybe he referred to a reissue with Bill airbrushed out?
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
He did indeed.

Remember ...
Not talking about the 'Hitmakers' cover.
Ha! Still laughing, my fav post for the day
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.
That artwork was done when the title was AUTOMATIC CHANGER. That's why it makes zero sense.
It's not weird that a straight guy doesn't like pictures of another guy's private area.
It kind of goes along with being a straight guy.
By definition,a straight guy would rather see a female. Like on the "Sticky Fingers Revisited" bootleg. GhostRyder 14
So,it makes the official album cover bad to me as a straight guy.
VOODOO LOUNGE and STEEL WHEELS and especially EMOTIONAL RESCUE look like good album covers to me and definitely better than 'Sticky Fingers' "artwork".
That's my honest opinion. If you like it,don't let me rain on your parade.
Talk about your favorite band.

Shout out to MrDDDD
Thanks to your post in this thread I just now noticed for the very fist time that the covers from 12 X 5 and OOOH were from the same photo shoot. Either that or they didn't change clothes much back then.

Really don´t like Grrregory´s picture??
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!

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.

I liked Gregory. At least it's humorous. The trouble was that the gorilla wasn't accompanied with a real album. Only two songs on top of the usual rehashes...

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.
