Rolling StonesThe Stones released the album in 1971, and the cover art was developed by Andy Warhol. The cover featured a real working zipper, and no that wasn't a sock in the dude's pants. Many fans presumed that the man wearing the jeans was Mick Jagger, but Warhol had several men photographed for the session, and he never revealed who was featured in the final outcome.
