Story & Background
"Let It Bleed", originally released in December 1969, is inextricably linked to its iconic cover, a surreal work of art conceived by the legendary designer Robert Brownjohn. The image, a vinyl record topped with a multi-layered cake that breaks down into various everyday objects – a pizza, a clock, a film reel and a magnetic tape – was not just an aesthetic provocation. It masterfully symbolised the disintegration and chaos that permeated both the end of the "sixties", with its loss of innocence, and the internal turmoil within The Rolling Stones, marked by the tragic death of Brian Jones and the arrival of Mick Taylor. The cover, so visionary and immediately recognisable, perfectly reflected the raw and disillusioned soul of the album, visually anticipating the bitter December turn of Altamont, becoming itself a tangible omen of the end of an era for rock and roll and a masterpiece of visual communication in the discographic pantheon.
