Explanation

I think there should be an explanation why there is a cake on the cover of the CD. User:Taylorr 18:07, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Let It Be

This probably has nothin' to do with nothin' but does the title of the album have anything to do with The Beatles' album/song, Let It Be?

I was going to ask the same question.

I think it does: The film canister on the front cover of Let It Bleed seems to suggest a paralell to the real film being produced from the Let It Be sessions. Also, there are other multiple examples of the Stones and the Beatles mildly mocking each other on album covers and in other ways.Rockford1963 15:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding was that it was a joke/jab at The Beatles. The Beatles were recording Let It Be around the same time The Rolling Stones were recording Let It Bleed, but Let It Be was released much later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.224.140.141 (talk) 04:01, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

I have removed the trivia section; Wikipedia generally discourages them. Since there was only one entry, it is not really relevant to the article. If there are others, we could create a section named "Cultural References," but having a trivia entry for one fact is not desirable. Metsfanmax (talk) 20:34, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Record Stack

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 dinner plate in place of a stack of records: a tape canister labelled Stones - Let It Bleed, a clock face, a pizza, a tyre and a cake with elaborate icing topped by figurines representing the band

I think the dinner plate is actually a cake plate since it is flat and also contains a paper doily. I don't believe tapes are stored in cans - usually in square boxes - therefore I think it's meant to be a film can (especially if they are poking fun at long-delayed the Let It Be record/movie).

And can we spell it "tire" please?--Davmpls 03:38, 7 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davmpls (talk • contribs)

please see WP:ENGVAR re the use of UK spelling in a UK-related article. i've changed the dinner plate, but speculating about whether the can held audio tape or film tape is probably not fruitful. if you have a source clarifying it one way or another please post it. thanks Sssoul (talk) 07:24, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, why is it spelled "tyre"? It's confusing, just spell it "tire". 108.81.33.59 (talk) 01:02, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the confusion? Sssoul has given you the explanation for the spelling immediately above. Cehers, Ian Rose (talk) 07:01, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Genres

Adding Country to the album's genres. Love In Vain and Country Honk are both country songs, and the title track has strong country influences. That's a third of the album right there.
