Had what may be hottest day/night on record in oz yesterday & was trying to think of most suitable Stones album to play. Exile would be my 1st choice, but any single album suggestions?

emotional rescue.(summer romance,down in the hole)

In that Aussie heat I wouldn't be playing any albums (vinyl) because I'll be afraid they might buckle with the heat.I'll be making sure they're in a safe cool place.

Vinyl stored safely, CDs okay - but very wise point

Tattoo you

Tattoo You sounds like the plan...get it playing on an air conditioned CD player stat

Good luck

Sad to say, I melted some of my best albums in the heat, stupidly leaving them in my car overnight when I was moving up from Georgia to DC.

Anyway, to the OP's question, Goat's Head Soup is a good one for the heat. Yeah, I know it has winter on it...but it's also got that slow, dog days of summer, Jamican feel to it. I played it a lot last summer.

I warped my copy of Wishbone Ash's Argus leaving on the record player in the south facing window in 1975.....................I'll have to replace it I guess........

Was considering album's content, not title

Nothing speaks to the lazy tone of a sizzling summer night quite like Can't You Hear Me Knocking, especially Mick Taylor's jazzy playout. So, therefore, Sticky Fingers. Brown Sugar also speaks to southern-fried nights of the U.S. Of course, you can't go wrong with Exile--when listening in a heat wave you can almost feel the oppressive humidity of the basement in Nellcote in which it was [mostly] recorded. In fact, play those records back to back with a few cold beers--you'll feel better. And if you're planning on making a 6-pack of it, start it off with Let It Bleed, because that album evokes the countrified warmth of the southern U.S.

Cheers all! Will go for Exile, SF, GHS, B&B & Tattoo You. (+ Harder They Come s/t).

The sleaze of EOMS!

I'm going with Emotional Rescue as well. The first time I heard the title track was blasting out someone's boombox at the beach.

Man, it's gotta be Emotional Rescue. Summer Romance, Down In The Hole, Send It To Me hell, even Dance is good for the heat.

Really, that's a pretty good summer album.

Alright then - I'll give ER a go. Haven't listened to it all the way through in a long time - Dance pt 1 on right now!

Metamorphosis...very chilling album...

SHE WAS HOT

Maybe She's So Cold will turn you on

the album was better than I remembered - especially Down In The Hole

Australia’s weather is so hot, new colors added to weather map

The forecast in Australia: Hot, hot, hot—and getting hotter.

As a record-breaking heatwave hovers over many regions and territories (which are in their summer months now), the continent’s Bureau of Meteorology has added two new colors to the weather map to reflect the rising mercury.

The map currently shows the weather in orange tones at the top, which indicate temperatures 40 to 48 degrees Celsius. But forecasts are predicting off-the-charts weather. As a result, pink and purple will now cover temperatures over 50 degrees Celsius—should it climb that high.

For those rusty on the temperature conversion, that is a sweat-inducing 122 degrees Fahrenheit. (The record-setting temperature of 50.7 set in 1960 has, thankfully, still not been broken.)

"The forecast coming from the bureau's model is showing temperatures in excess of 50 degrees," said David Jones, head of the bureau's climate monitoring and prediction unit.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, a "dome of heat" over Australia is contributing to the record-breaking weather, which has gone on for six straight days with average maximum temps above 39 degrees Celcius (102 Fahrenheit). The trend seems likely to continue.

Adding to the misery, the searing heat is also fueling wildfires that continue to rage in southeastern Australia.

"You don't get conditions worse than this," Shane Fitzsimmons, New South Wales Rural Fire Service commissioner, told the Associated Press.

Australia isn’t the only place battling record high temperatures. Last year, the United States had its warmest year on record.
