Here is the cover of The Rolling Stones record, Sticky Fingers. I took this image from a flickr album. You can find the album by following this link, http://www.flickr.com/photos/oddsock/248080669/
The album was the first to be released on the Stones' 'Rolling Stones Records' label in 1971. The appeal (and controversey) of this album was the fact that the zipper was a real working zipper! The problem however, was that during shipment of the albums, the zipper would press into the album and therefore damage the record.
The photo was taken by Andy Warhol and contrary to popular belief at the time, the model is not Mick Jagger. Most likely, it was thought to be Warhol's asssistant. As a Stones fan, I am still on the lookout for this original pressing, but alas, have to be somewhat satisfied with the less dramatic cover with no working zip.
