The Rolling Stones by David Montgomery promo shots for Sticky Fingers, London, 1971. Cover concept by Andy Warhol.

The album’s artwork emphasizes the suggestive innuendo of the Sticky Fingers title, showing a close-up of a jeans-clad male crotch; the cover of the original (vinyl) release featured a working zipper and mock belt buckle that opened to reveal cotton briefs. The vinyl release displayed the band’s name and album title along the image of the belt; behind the zipper the white briefs were seemingly rubber stamped in gold with the name of American pop artist Andy Warhol, below which read “THIS PHOTOGRAPH MAY NOT BE—ETC.”^[3] While the artwork was conceived by Warhol, photography was by Billy Name and design by Craig Braun.
