Original promotional poster for the 1971 Rolling Stones LP, "Sticky Fingers"

London: Rolling Stones Records, 1971. Vintage lithograph promotional poster for the classic 1971 album, playfully and conceptually utilizing the original album design by Andy Warhol.

Made on the London side of the Atlantic to promote the British release, though presumably never released. Printed on an unusually thick, textured stock and machine-folded as issued.

Rather than licking their wounds after Altamont, the Rolling Stones recorded a follow-up that was the equal of "Let It Bleed," taking "Brown Sugar" from a drug-induced all-night session in Muscle Shoals, "Sister Morphine" from the "Let It Bleed" sessions, and 8 more blistering tracks recorded in their mobile unit during the summer of 1970. Andy Warhol famously designed the jeans-and-zipper cover, which the boys make humorous use of here. Virtually every track today is a staple of rock radio, including "Bitch," "Sway," "Wild Horses," "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," Dead Flowers," and "Moonlight Mile."

23 x 35 inches, on heavy textured stock and machine folded as issued. Fine.
