Story & Background
The iconic cover of *Let It Bleed*, designed by Robert Brownjohn, features a surreal cake, prepared by the then-unknown Delia Smith, adorned with a bizarre series of objects: a clock face, a pizza, a film reel, a tyre, and a plate with a Stones record. This crumbling cake, impaled by the spindle of the titular record player, vividly captures the album's dark and raw essence and the turbulent social climate of late 1969. Brownjohn conceived it as a visual pun for "Let It Bleed", suggesting the literal oozing and decay of various aspects of life and culture. It remains a powerful artistic statement, reflecting the band's descent into a darker soundscape and an era teetering on the brink, making every original DECCA copy from '69 a true visual manifesto.
