As the Rolling Stones prepared recently to rerelease \u201cSticky Fingers,\u201d their classic 1971 album featuring hits like \u201cWild Horses\u201d and \u201cBrown Sugar,\u201d the manufacturing process hit a snag: The functional zipper from Andy Warhol\u2019s bulging blue jean album cover, recreated for some new deluxe editions, was taking longer than expected to produce, Universal Music announced, pushing back the release to Tuesday.<\/p>\n

They might have asked Craig Braun for help.<\/p>\n

As the owner and creative director of the Sound Packaging Corporation, Mr. Braun became known in the \u201960s and \u201970s as the go-to inventor of elaborate album covers, making his name with projects like the peelable banana on the cover of 1967\u2019s \u201cThe Velvet Underground & Nico,\u201d another over-the-top phallic concept by Mr. Warhol.<\/p>\n

Now, with the Stones\u2019 revisiting \u201cSticky Fingers\u201d on the aptly named \u201cZIP Code\u201d tour, which takes them across North America through July 15, Mr. Braun is eager to share the story behind what VH1 called the best album cover ever. \u201cSticky Fingers\u201d also included the debut of the Stones\u2019 iconic lips and tongue logo, another piece of rock history with a tangled origin story \u2014 once again involving Mr. Braun.<\/p>\n
