Story & Background
The first British pressing of this debut album, a true grail for every DECCA collector, is famous for a bold and unconventional design choice. Contrary to the conventions of the era, the original 1964 cover bore neither the band's name nor the album's title. This decision was strongly insisted upon by their manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, who intended to create an aura of mystery and irreverence around the group. The raw and unpolished image, shot by Nicholas Wright, was meant to be enough to identify the 'rebellious' Stones. A brilliant and provocative marketing move, which clearly distinguished them from the contemporary Beatles and other pop artists, emphasising their raw and wild essence, making that cover immediately iconic and a symbol of their nascent rock'n'roll identity.
