You do realize, that this is a 45 cover, NOT a L.P. cover, DON’T YOU?

This was not the first time that the band dressed up for a single. “Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?” showed the band in drag. According to one account, after the shoot, they went to a pub had their drinks and no one recognized or disturbed them.

Brian Jones may have been the creative spark in the first incarnation of the Stones, but it was in the Mick Taylor era that the band made its greatest records. Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street–it doesn’t get much better than that!

on a sadder note, looking at brian on the jumpin’ jack flash sleeve (originally b/w “child of the moon (rmk)” which i believe he wanted as an a-side), one can tell the poor man wasn’t long for this world.

the second sleeve there had as its flip the 5 band members looking away from the camera.

I’m glad to have stirred some heated responses. I do think there’s a valid defense of the Let It Bleed – Get Your Ya-Ya’s Out – Sticky Fingers – Exile on Main Street – Goat’s Head Soup – It’s Only Rock and Roll output. Here’s one argument in Taylor’s defense: http://www.jambase.com/Articles/16352/Sat-Eye-Candy-Mick-Taylor

How unbelievably insulting to a stellar musical genius to suggest that he was not essential, the absolute authentic musical core of the Stones. Brian and only Brian made the Stones the Stones. (They should have changed their name once he was no longer in the band.) I will brook no nonsense on this point.

…and many more would say without fear of contradiction that the golden era of the Stones was, most decidedly, that which included Brian Jones. He was absolutely riveting to watch and his instrumental contributions elevated the band from the aural drudgery into which they rapidly, and so predictably, descended after his demise. Simply put; no Jones, no Stones.
