<P> The album cover displays a surreal sculpture designed by Robert Brownjohn . 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 plate in place of a stack of records : a film canister labelled Stones -- Let It Bleed , a clock dial , a pizza , a tyre and a cake with elaborate icing topped by figurines representing the band . The cake parts of the construction were prepared by then - unknown cookery writer Delia Smith . The reverse of the LP sleeve shows the same `` record - stack '' melange in a state of disarray . The artwork was inspired by the working title of the album , which was Automatic Changer . </P>
