The Rolling Stones – Beggars Banquet (Rejected Cover Slick)

An original promotional slick featuring the rejected cover artwork for The Rolling Stones’ landmark 1968 album Beggars Banquet. Depicting the now-famous graffiti-covered public toilet wall, this design was intended to be the album’s original sleeve before being rejected by the band’s record label, which considered the imagery too controversial for release. Following the label’s objections, Beggars Banquet was initially issued with a plain invitation-style cover instead. The original artwork was not officially restored until years later, making it one of the most famous rejected album covers in rock history and an enduring symbol of the creative tensions between artists and record companies during the late 1960s. This framed display reproduces the complete artwork in striking detail, showcasing the countless handwritten messages and illustrations that made the original design so provocative and memorable. The piece comes directly from the personal collection of Mary Cobra (Mary Ramirez), founding guitarist of The Detroit Cobras, whose archive reflects a lifelong appreciation for landmark rock recordings and music history.
