Sticky Fingers Album Cover
In 1971 Andy Warhol photographs the denim-clad groin area of Warhol Factory regular Jed Johnson. The photo goes on to become an indelible image in the world of rock ‘n’ roll, as it became the cover photo for The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers album. The cover even featured a working zipper that when opened revealed the white cotton briefs that Johnson wore. It was the first album that used the Stones’ trademark Tongue and Lips logo and in 2003 VH1 named Sticky Fingers the #1 Greatest Album Cover of All time.
