This from a series of photos taken by Annie Leibowitz in 1976, many of which eventually were published for the December 2, 1976 edition of ‘Rolling Stone‘ magazine. Though giving approval for the shoot, Linda and her manager Peter Asher were reportedly unhappy with the results.

Namely, the cover showed Linda in a skimpy red negligee, while the interior shots depicted her ironing a garment and in another stretching across her bed on her stomach. Some commented this one made her “look like a piece of meat.”

Leibowitz did not back down, and ended up working several times with Linda for future magazine covers.
