The pictures, many of which have never been seen in public, were taken by Michael Joseph in 1968 for the Beggars Banquet album.
The photo shoot took place over two days at Sarum Chase, a large house in West Hampstead.
It involved a cat, three dogs, a sheep and a goat as well as a one-legged white piano and lots of smoke. A spokesman for the exhibition at Blink gallery, Poland Street W1, said: "It was a legendary photo session and it is only now that these extraordinary photographs go on display.
"More than 75 per cent of the images have never been exhibited anywhere in the world. Some have only recently been rediscovered after lying unseen for over 40 years." The Beggars Banquet Collection also includes pictures of the band, in medieval costume, lying in a field full of cows in the grounds of the property, former home of Victorian society painter Frank Owen Salisbury.
Mr Joseph, who was well known at the time for his corporate photography, said the shoot was "wild and hugely memorable".
The show opens on 7 November and runs until 6 December.
