the album cover displays a surreal sculpture designed by robert brownjohn. the image consists of the "let it bleed" record being played by the tone-arm of an antique phonograph, and a record-changer spindle supporting several items stacked on a plate in place of a stack of records: a film canister labelled "stones – let it bleed", a clock dial, a pizza, a motorcycle tyre and a cake with elaborate icing topped by figurines representing the band. the cake parts of the construction were prepared by then-unknown cookery writer delia smith. the reverse of the lp sleeve shows the same "record-stack" melange in a state of disarray. the artwork was inspired by the working title of the album, which was "automatic changer".

lane cake









































lane cake, also known as prize cake or alabama lane cake, is a bourbon-laced baked cake traditional in the american south. according to food scholar neil ravenna, the inventor was emma rylander lane, of clayton, alabama, who won first prize with it at the county fair in columbus, georgia. she called it "prize cake" when she self-published a cookbook, "a few good things to eat" in 1898. her published recipe included raisins, pecans, and coconut, and called for the layers to be baked in pie tins lined with ungreased brown paper rather than in cake pans.
