How often have you heard these words?

For their “Sticky Fingers” album, The Rolling Stones asked Andy Warhol to design what would become one of the most iconic album covers of all time. The sleeve featured a shot of Joe Dallesandro’s crotch. Here is a letter from Jagger to Warhol, in which he politely warns the artist of production difficulties associated with a complex design. Warhol obviously took no notice and produced a cover which caused all sorts of problems. The biggest problem was with other albums that were stacked in front of ‘Sticky Fingers” in the shops – Joe’s zip apparently scratched them all!

This is a letter that any Graphic Designer would love to get. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands” is my second favourite bit – my favourite bit is “and please write back saying how much money you would like“… it is probably the perfect brief.
