After all these years it just hit me...
Who got left off the front cover?
I always presumed it was Bill that got left off. From top left clockwise...
Mick, Charlie, Keith, Ronnie were my guess. Maybe that was the day Bill decided he was going to leave the band, in 12 years.

Yeah, "Dance" (both original versions) is a great example of the times when the band still could integrate naturally new things to their repertuare, and still sound so damn Stonesy and original. Damn, they had a groove going on in that early "Woody period": "Hot Stuff", "Hey Negrita", "Miss You", "Everything's Turning to Gold", "Dance", "Send It To Me", "Emotional Rescue" - interesting experiments in funk/reggae/disco area - and we should add "Undercover of The Night" , "Think I'm Going Mad" and "Feel On Baby" as well. Great dance music.
All in all, even though decadent EMOTIONAL RESCUE lacks something in the song-writing apartment, it is probably their grooviest record of all time. The band was really redhot then, the rhythm section has never been better. The follower UNDERCOVER still had its moments, but they somehow lost that natural groove - and balls - they had in EMOTIONAL RESCUE, not to even mention the albums after it. To start the album with "Dance" is a strong artistic statement of its own (of course, after "Hot Stuff" and "Miss You" it wasn't so daring move any longer, but still...)

Black And Blue deserves a mention here as well
On ER the Stones brought in Michael Shrieve, Santana's drummer to play percussion on some tracks. He is rarely mentioned, but he certainly makes this album swing, imo.
He's doing very subtle things just in the right places.

One of their worst covers...I remember thinking at the time it was lazy and unimaginative...that thermal imaging technique was already stale and no longer noteworthy,,,

I must have been living under a rock. I'd never seen thermal imaging used in such a creative way before. Actually I hadn't seen much thermal imaging at all by 1980. I thought the whole packaging thing was kind of cool. But then again I love Indian Girl.

The version from Licks is says Part 1, but its really a hybrid of 1 and 2.
What version from Licks? Licks what?
What's the story behind this?? I love it. I thought it would just be "Dance Pt. 1" stripped of vocals, but it's different beyond that. (I knew Keith wanted it no vocals...but never knew they released an instrumental version in any form.)Quote

Radio play and club play. "If I Was a Dancer" was the promotional single to help sell SUCKING IN THE SEVENTIES. In the States, a lot of retail chains wouldn't carry the LP because it was considered offensive so Atlantic sent around a 12" single to radio and clubs to help generate awareness. This was right around March 1981.
