Mick Jagger wrote Andy Warhol a letter in 1969 regarding the artwork for their new album, Sticky Fingers. Andy Warhol read the brief.

The Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers

(1971) Probably Warhol’s most problematic album cover, in that 1) Each copy contained an actual zipper attached to the front that basically killed any other record that touched it in the record store racks; and 2) The crotch area featured is especially well defined, causing several store owners to refuse to carry the album. Never mind the underwear shot inside. Either way, combined with the raunchy music it helped the Stones reinvent their image from hapless Altamont burnouts to sexually charged rock demigods.
