One of the Rolling stones albums 40 licks, this album contained 40 album tracks.  The Concept on the design of the album cover FORTY LICKS is the huge tounge sticking out using mostly the RGB colours which were used on a lot of products in the 70s and 80s.  The album that gets the name forty licks due to containing 40 album tracks was released in September 2002.  But the market would have been older people more than youths.  As the rolling stones started in the 1960s so not many youth's would have listened to them.
