Cover Art Controversy
The album cover, designed by Peter Corriston, was controversial due to its die-cut design featuring the band members in drag alongside female celebrities in a vintage ad. Several celebrities threatened legal action for the unauthorized use of their likenesses. As a result, the album was quickly reissued with a revised cover that removed the celebrity faces. The image you provided is one such variation of the poster artwork.
This iconic album remains a definitive work and the only Rolling Stones album to be nominated for a Grammy Award in the Album of the Year category. |
