I've speculated before that Queen were more influenced by the Rolling Stones than has been acknowledged. Then I came across this pic, which I believe is from the inside cover of the Stones album Their Satanic Majesties Request:

And there is some similarity with the SHA cover image:

Sure looks like an influence. But there’s always the chance of coincidence. Not really trying to write bad poetry here. Nice find.

- well in the early days, the R S were always mentioned in those pop mag 'favourite' questionnaires. Along with , Hendrix, Zeppelin, Beatles, Joni , Liza , Bowie and Cream.
