According to Wikipedia, take it or leave it, the Standard version of the LP was photographed, and designed as follows.
Cover
The artwork for Sticky Fingers - including a working zipper that opened to reveal a man in cotton briefs (rubber stamped "THIS PHOTOGRAPH MAY NOT BE-ETC.") - was conceived by Andy Warhol, photographed by Billy Name, designed by Craig Braun and featured the lower torso of either Warhol assistant Jed Johnson[1] or Joe Dallesandro[2] (not Mick Jagger as a number of fans at the time speculated) in a pair of tight jeans. The cover was later parodied by American band Mötley Crüe on their debut album Too Fast for Love. In Spain, General Franco proved his rock and roll credentials by substituting the original cover and "Sister Morphine" with a "Can of fingers" cover and the Chuck Berry composition "Let it Rock", recorded March 13th, 1971 at the University of Leeds. The album features the first usage of the "Tongue and Lip Design" designed by John Pasche.
The only info I have for the Spanish cover, is from the insert, that says the photography was done by Phil Jude. Will post back, if I find out more info.
