Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Keith Richards’ heroin use and legal heat were deepening around this era, feeding the outlaw myth while making the band’s stability feel constantly at risk.
2. Album Art: Andy Warhol’s working zipper cover turned the sleeve into a physical object, one of rock’s most famous packaging gimmicks and a nightmare for stacked records.
3. Studio Lore: The album pulls from Muscle Shoals, Olympic, and Stargroves sessions, giving it that dirty mix of country ache, blues grit, and expensive Stones decadence.
