Story & Background

This sumptuous 2019 Limited LP box set offers us the opportunity to reflect on the genesis of "Let It Bleed", an album whose title and famous cover are inextricably linked. The concept behind the iconic image of the layered cake, torn open and topped with various objects, was the work of the visionary Robert Brownjohn. Initially, the album was to be called "Automatic Changer", and Brownjohn visually interpreted this concept with a real cake. This, composed of layers symbolising vinyl records and other elements, was made by the renowned chef Delia Smith. On top were a tape recorder, a film reel, a clock face, a pizza, and a tyre, elements that told the story of the band's life and music. The cover perfectly captured the dark and disillusioned spirit of the album, released in December 1969 during a period of intense tension. Its release tragically coincided with the chaotic events of the Altamont concert, amplifying the sense of an era's end. A design masterpiece that, with its macabre beauty, symbolised the decadence and brutality that were about to "make the 60s bleed".
