Recording and release

Although sessions for Sticky Fingers began in earnest in March 1970, they had done some early recording at Muscle Shoals Studios in Alabama in December 1969 and "Sister Morphine", cut during Let It Bleed's sessions earlier in March of that year, would be heldover for this release. Much of the recording for Sticky Fingers was effected with The Rolling Stones' mobile studio unit in Stargroves during the summer and fall months in 1970. Early versions of songs that would appear on Exile on Main St. were also routined during these sessions. This article is about the U.S. State. ... This article is about the 1969 album by The Rolling Stones. ...

With the end of their Decca/London association at hand, The Rolling Stones would finally be free to release their albums (cover art and all) as they pleased. However, soon-to-be-ex-manager Allen Klein (who took over the reins from Andrew Loog Oldham in 1965 so that Oldham could concentrate on producing the band), dealt the group a major blow when they discovered - to their horror - that they had inadvertently signed over their entire 1960s copyrights to Klein and his company ABKCO, which is how all of their material from 1963's "Come On" to 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!' The Rolling Stones in Concert has since come to be released by ABKCO Records. The band would remain incensed with Klein for decades over the swindle.

When Decca informed The Rolling Stones that they were owed one more single, they cheekily submitted a track called "Cocksucker Blues" - which was guaranteed to be refused. Instead, Decca released the two-year-old Beggars Banquet track "Street Fighting Man" while Allen Klein would have dual copyright ownership - with The Rolling Stones - of "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses".

Sticky Fingers may just be the band's most drug-drenched album, as well over half of the songs mention drug use, while the rest merely allude to it. Some final overdubbing and mixing in January 1971, found the album complete and preceded by "Brown Sugar" that March, which reached #1 in the US and #2 in the UK. Appearing in April on their new Rolling Stones label (with distribution by WEA Music), Sticky Fingers was rapturously-received and hit #1 worldwide, beginning an uninterrupted string of eight consecutive chart-topping US studio albums. "Wild Horses", covered by Keith Richard's friend Gram Parsons with The Flying Burrito Brothers, was the second single in the US only, making the Top 30.

The artwork for Sticky Fingers - including a working zipper that opened to reveal a man in cotton briefs (rubber stamped "THIS IS NOT ETC.") - was conceived and photographed by Andy Warhol, designed by Craig Braun and featured the lower torso of either Warhol assistant Jed Johnson[1] or Joe Dallesandro[2] (not Mick Jagger as a number of fans at the time speculated) in a pair of tight jeans. The cover was later parodied by American band Mötley Crüe on their debut album Too Fast for Love. In Spain, General Franco proved his rock and roll credentials by substituting the original cover and "Sister Morphine" with a "Can of fingers" cover and the Chuck Berry composition "Let it Rock", recorded March 13th, 1971 at the University of Leeds. The album features the first usage of the "Tongue and Lip Design" designed by John Pasche. In 1994, Sticky Fingers was remastered and reissued by Virgin Records. In 2003 the TV network VH1 named Sticky Fingers the "No.1 Greatest Album Cover" of all time. (Be that as it may, the zipper was prone to cause damage to any album cover stacked next to it.)
