I loved that sleeve, particularly the cake's destruction on the back cover.

But then I was a very messed-up teenager: a member of the Stones' primary fan base, in fact!

I know we all know, but it bears reiterating: the 'cake' was made by the blessed Delia. As a young lady.

I'd forgotten that. Forget the pop. You can't diss our Delia. And it's a lot better than the Pet Sounds cover. Philip Norman might have been better advised having a go at the Stones December '67 Pepper riposte, Their Satanic Majesties Request cover- although, I visited a Stones photo exhibition in San Francisco last summer, where a giant original framed print of Michael Cooper's cover shot formed the centrepiece, and it has to be said that it looked stunning.

I don't know who this Norman guy is, but Let it Bleed is their best album artwork, and one of the best of the era. If Norman has a problem with cakes slapped on pizzas slapped on tires slapped on clocks etc, I would suggest it's Norman's problem.
