Sticky Fingers was the 1971 Rolling Stones album whose cover featured a close-up of jeans with a working zipper.
The cover was designed by Andy Warhol and photographed by Billy Name, with styling credited to Warhol’s creative circle. Its most famous physical feature was an actual zipper attached to the depicted jeans, making the packaging unusually interactive.
The cover helped connect denim with rock music, sexuality, and provocative pop-art imagery. It also became one of the most recognizable album designs of the early 1970s.
The album title is sometimes confused with a song title or with another Rolling Stones record. Sticky Fingers is the ninth British studio album by the band and was released in 1971.
