The album’s title, of course, added to the mystique and the original cover, with its working zip, was seen as genuinely groundbreaking album art.

Not everybody agreed, however. Andy Warhol’s innovative concept was banned in Spain, forcing the Stones’ record label to change the cover.

In General Franco’s Spain, The Rolling Stones’ ‘Sticky Fingers’ artwork was classed as obscene, and banned. The record company had to change the sleeve.

The new sleeve was designed by John Pasche (who designed the first tongue logo), and Phil Jude (who later photographed the goat’s head for the inner sleeve of Goats Head Soup).

Not content with changing the image, the government also insisted that “Sister Morphine” was also dropped from the album. (It was replaced by a live version of Chuck Berry’s “Let It Rock.”)

All this meant that the album was not released in Spain until July 1971.
