About this product

The Rolling Stones' Goats Head Soup cover artwork saw Mick Jagger shot through gauzy material, creating a ghostly image that matched the band's dark lyrics. The sleeve was designed by Aubrey Powell of the cutting-edge Hipnosis agency, who also created covers for Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Here's how he remembers the day:

"The shoot was organised for 1pm and Mick and Keith turned up about 5pm and Keith was in a very bolshy mood. Storm Thorgerson and I had outlined the concept to the Stones and they were all enthusiastic - especially Mick. They were all to be centaurs and minotaurs prancing about in the photo in an Arcadian landscape, like the young bucks they were. Right up Mick's street."
