Black and BlueTHIS CD WAS VERY SCRATCHY AND SKIPPED. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NEW, I WONDER.
IT HAD THE STICKY SECURITY TAPE OVER THE TOP OF THE CD CASE....BUT THE CASE ITSELF WAS NOT WRAPPED IN THE USUAL PLASTIC WRAPPING.
December 24, 2008Overlooked, yes it is, keep coming back to this one. What a beautiful blend of styles, reggae,rock, blues, soul, and wow, Mr. Harvey Mandel.
This music is what it's supposed to be all about. Rock and Roll,a blend of all flavors. A masterpiece!

I am the Stones Authority. Well, this "album" is a transition piece - re: Ronnie Wood joining the band and Mick Taylor quickly slipping off the face of the Earth. There are four good tracks. And then there is stuff that makes you whince and wonder why they didn't just go back to the vault and rework some old demos from the late Sixties/early Seventies - if they were hurting so bad for material. And with only eight tracks to the album, they were obviously short on material. As a Stones fan this album chaps me. It represent a lost opportunity, but without Mick Taylor and Ronnie Wood not yet fully integrated, it is little wonder that this album is what it is. The case can be made that this is their worst album. It would take them two years to get down to business and get serious and give us something to get excited about again - Some Girls. Still, it is the Stones and "Hand Of Fate" and a couple of others make it worth having.
October 9, 2008It ROCKS!!! Nope, waitaminute, pretty uninspired. Hold on, I don't know.
It might look like I'm buying CDs all the time but, actually, I haven't had an account in years. Only buy coffee and lollipops. I just like writing about rock & roll since, like duh, rock & roll is the unexamined life. If I actually had an income, I'd be off buying True Religion jeans, size 6, and I so look HOT in them. Anyway I'm getting to the point where I'm not even bothering to review the album in question anymore, which is some kinda breakthrough. For me. Why anyone would wanna READ THIS is, well, out the window. I mean, I sure don't read the reviews here.
Actually, this was the 1st Stones album I didn't buy. I've heard none of it.

This was not suppose to be a serious or GRAMMY album. BUT JUST PURE FUN . And it is. But nobody see's it that way, so they don't enjoy it as much. Greatly underated. Most people just don't get it. "STICKY FINGERS", now that's serious. SO JUST HAVE FUN. " CHERRY, OOH.
