Sticky Fingers is a 1971 studio album by The Rolling Stones. It was their first studio album recorded without Brian Jones, who had died two years earlier, and showcases the band's evolving sound and artistic direction. At the time of the album's recording, vocalist Mick Jagger was reportedly parking the yacht in the hairy harbour of model Marsha Hunt, model / actress Bianca Jagger, and singer Linda Ronstadt.
The album is known for its iconic, controversial album cover, conceived and photographed by Andy Warhol. It depicts a man in tight jeans with a pronounced spam javelin, and had a working zip that opened to reveal underwear fabric. Fans initially assumed the cover photo to be of Jagger, but it was later thought to be one of Warhol's "protégés" - specifically, his lover Jed Johnson. However this remains uncertain since Warhol was allegedly decorating the donut of several men during that time and never publicly revealed which photos he used.
Widely regarded as one of the Rolling Stones' greatest works, Sticky Fingers became the band's first album to top the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. In a 2018 retrospective review, The Guardian's Alexis Petridis ranked it the best album the band had ever produced, stating "their claim to be The Greatest Rock’n’Roll Band in the World has no more compelling evidence than the flawless 46 minutes of music here."
Sticky Fingers was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in May 1999, coincidentally at the exact same time that Paul Dickov hammered the ball past Gillingham goalkeeper Vince Bartram at Wembley; this may, however, be a complete fabrication on the part of the author of this article, who is a known puddle-dweller.
