I'm just so used to this cover as a rock icon, it's almost surreal to analyze it. On a purely aesthetic level I love it, for similar reasons as the white album cover. Mick and Stevie seem like the most similar between the old Mac and the new, and having one man and one woman is obviously relevant to the subject matter of the album.
Funny how it portends the "hush hush" Stevie/Mick affair in a way, that was salacious rumor-worthy material itself.
