Any knowledgable Rolling Stones fans in here?

If you have any Rolling Stones knowledge, please help me...

I have to ask a question that has been bugging me for a very long time. On the Rolling Stones first Greatest Hits Record (Big Hits- High Tide and Green Grass--circa 1965), what the hell is the deal with the photo of the band standing in the woods? (It is the photo on the back cover of the record)

my question is, next to Brian Jones on the far right, is that supposed to be a person? The further away you hold the record, the more it looks like there are 6 people in the photo. When you inspect more closely, there are only five. I doubt it was an accidental illusion.

Anyone know what the deal is? This was taken before Brian Jones (or anyone who worked with the Stones) had passed away, so that can't be what its about.

This picture has always creeped me out, but i have never asked anyone.

Maybe you should cut back on the blunts, you're getting a bit paranoid.

Seriously, haven't done anything like that in over 6 years


Honestly, though, the further away you look, the more it looks like a person. It has to be intentional

Kind of like the "Grassy Knoll" picture?
