I enjoy it. I think it's a pretty good little album. It just seems so short. I don't know how it stacks up in actual run time, but I think 8 tracks is the shortest of any Stones studio album.

Awesome album. Certainly in my Top Ten of Stones LPs. If they had finished Worried About You and Slave (and whatever else), well, it might be considered one of their best.
I second that.
And Hey Negrita must be one of the grooviest songs ever recorded. The production on the album in general is as good as it gets. What a huge improvement production-wise after the blurry, uneven-sounding GHS and IORR!

Right, but how does that stack up to the length of other albums? Is it about average?

I started buying Rolling Stones albums in 1969 when I was 18. I hated Black and Blue when it came out. I have never listened to it much ever. I only have it on vinyl, the original record, purchased in September of 1977. The only 1962 to 1982 Stones album that I do not have on both CD and vinyl.
Due to the almost overwelming positive opinions of readers here, I am going to get it out and try lietening to it again.
Sometimes I really do not understand the taste of readers in this forum, who almost universally love Black and Blue, but hate Emotional Rescue. I happen to love Emotional Rescue.

One of the best moments of my life was hearing them play Memory Motel on the Voodoo Lounge tour.

Cheery Oh Baby - Charlie's worst performance ever, awful, fake reggae.

To me it always felt like they spent more time taking the photos for the cover than they did working on the actual record.

When you're talking about the actual album, it's an evaluation of the finished work...not the sessions that included stuff they didn't use, i.e. "Slave" and "Worried About You."
