Thanks for the hint - Qobuz has it hidden as 'normal' Album and it is at the moment not to find (at least in Germany) with the sort/filter setting 'Date: du plus récent au moins récent' - currently it's there on page 5 ....
(Qobuz is available in France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, BeNeLux, UK, Ireland)

Keith Richards reflects on 'Sticky Fingers'

Brian Mansfield, USA TODAY
June 8, 2015
The Rolling Stones released Sticky Fingers in 1971, but the classic album began a year and a half before in a small Alabama town.
The Stones started recording Sticky Fingers, which is being reissued Tuesday, in early December 1969 at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Sheffield, Ala. At the time, the Muscle Shoals region was developing a reputation for producing great R&B and rock records by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Joe Tex and Wilson Pickett.
"A lot of good music was coming out of there," guitarist Keith Richards says. "Every record, you'd say, 'Where was that recorded?' It would turn out to be Muscle Shoals. We took a little week off and said, 'We've got to try this room out.'"
The Stones cut three songs in Sheffield: Wild Horses; You Gotta Move, by bluesman Mississippi Fred McDowell; and Brown Sugar, a song the band debuted the following Saturday at the infamous concert at Altamont Speedway where four people died. The Stones completed the album over the next year and a half at London's Olympic Studios and at Mick Jagger's countryside English home using a mobile unit.
Sticky Fingers was the first Stones album without guitarist Brian Jones, who was dismissed from the band in June 1969 and drowned several days later. It was also the first on which Mick Taylor, who played guitar for the group until 1974, appeared throughout. Richards and Taylor developed a syncopated two-guitar give-and-take that Richards calls "the ancient form of weaving," a style that has become a distinctive part of the band's sound.
On songs like Brown Sugar, Bitch and Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Richards says, "I'm bouncing a lot off (drummer) Charlie Watts. Then, at certain points, Mick and I will swap roles."
Richards now has the same kind of interaction with Ronnie Wood, who joined the group after Taylor's departure. "We swap between rhythm and lead," Richards says. "You do it instinctively. You just look at each other and turn. That's the way it is with the guitars. You can't really tell who's doing what."
Richards isn't credited on the recording of Moonlight Mile, Sticky Fingers' final song and one shaping up to be a regular part of the Zip Code Tour set. "I always wished I was on it," he says. "I've found myself a little niche in it for the stage."
The new reissue includes alternate takes of Brown Sugar, Bitch, Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Dead Flowers, as well as an acoustic mix of Wild Horses emphasizes the open-tuned 12-string guitar Richards played on the song. "You get these resonations and harmonics going on with the 12-string," he says. "It's quite a powerful machine, especially if you use slide on it. There's that lovely octave split between the strings."
The deluxe Sticky Fingers also has alternate versions of Bitch, Dead Flowers and Can't You Hear Me Knocking, along with five live performances from The Roundhouse in London. A super-deluxe configuration also features a 13-song live recording of a March 1971 concert at Leeds University and a DVD with video of a pair of performances two weeks later at London's Marquee Club, the group's final performance before going into tax exile in France.
Unlike recent Stones reissues of 1972's Exile on Main Street and 1978's Some Girls, the Sticky Fingers project doesn't unearth songs the band left unfinished. Richards says there was a good reason: "The stuff from Sticky Fingers that didn't get on there spilled over onto Exile when we cut that a year later."
