Rolling Stones Removed Bill Wyman From Photo For “Rarities” Album
When the Rolling Stones released their 2005 “Rarities” compilation, a few people pointed out that the album’s cover photo is missing an important element of the original photograph: former bassist Bill Wyman.

The “Rarities” compilation features lesser-known works by the band recorded between 1971 and 2003, and the photo comes from the video for 1978’s “Respectable,” when Wyman was still very much a part of the band. Wyman’s image has been digitally removed, and somewhat sloppily as you can still see his bass cable hanging between Mick Jagger’s microphone stand and guitar.

Wyman left the Rolling Stones in 1992.
