Mick Jagger showed up to the studio four hours late and didn’t want to look at the camera during the shoot, until David Montgomery reminded him he wasn’t taking these photos for his own scrapbook.

The album’s famous zippered crotch cover (a photo of Joe Dallesandro, although other individuals have been suggested as well) was conceived by Andy Warhol, photographed by Billy Name, and designed by Craig Braun.

Sticky Fingers is considered one of the Rolling Stones’ best albums. It was the band’s first album to reach number one on both the UK albums and US albums charts, and has since achieved triple platinum certification in the US. “Brown Sugar” topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971. The album is inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame and included in Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.
