All the Black And Blue-bashing here just motivated me further to pick the ol' album up again.
It is a classic - lovely album!
It may be short on songs, but the amount of music on it is just as much as other albums.

Vinyl, of course!
And by "picking", I actually meant literally doing a detective search for it in my collection - it's been a while
The only "album" I don't own right now is Flowers. Dunno why, but I reckon I have to buy it some day...

Regarding Flowers, that's probably the only stones album I only have one copy of!

Oh yeah, I agree totally about the lack of interesting production. I think the sound quality and overall EQ (balance between bass and treble and so on) is great, it's very punchy and good sounding, better than Some Girls in that regard.
But B&B doesn't have that wicked feel that Beggars Banquet and Exile has tons of, where you can listen for years and still wonder what's going on in there, who's playing what, and what instrument is that, and so on. I think it was partly because Jimmy Miller wasn't involved anymore (although he according to some people didn't influence Exile all that much either).

Is it sealed?

Interesting comment by Keith in the quote posted above about The Stones being "an English band" and that "It would have been too big a breech to start going international".
B-B-B-B-B-But, the music--the band is based on and inspired by American music. So if Muddy Waters or Chuck Berry or someone from their bands wanted to become a Rolling Stone they wouldn't have been allowed because.... they're not English?
They'll take the non-English music, just not the non-English musicians. Curious.

This album is a masterpeice!! Song election, order, is correct. It's a personal fav that does not get credit where due. I've listened to this album just as much as any other Stones' work. Please do not open the sealed album. That is a great personal asset!

Thanks Chris,
I would be remiss in not pointing out that it is an 80s ABKCO reissue, so my enthusiasm for it is qualified. Having said that I certainly wouldn't open it!
I've collected quite a few sealed. Some of the more interesting ones:
The Rolling Stones (debut album) on DECCA - I'm sure it's a reissue, but even still I don't know the last time they released this. I think it may be a 70s issue.
Out Of Our Heads US, on the LONDON label - it's in stereo but looks as though it's pasted over a mono sleeve.
Between The Buttons US, on London label in stereo
Beggar's Banquet US, on London label in stereo also the 2002 DSD remaster
Through The Past Darkly US, two of them, both on London label in stereo, both are octagonals (Love these)
GYYYO again US on London label
Sticky Fingers reissue, without working zipper
Hot Rocks with gold promo stamp London label...
Beyond that I have everything in still sealed stated after GHS.
I did a lot of collecting a few years ago. I'm feeling much better now.

Nice - Through the Past Darkly octangular album cover is awesome.
December's Children is not on the list. Any particular reason? BTW- the album cover pic is awesome! Not to mention the song list "I'm Free, "Blue Turns to Gray" Singer not the Song" etc..

B&B is an awful album by anyone's standards. even mid-70s stones.
Wrong.
Piss off...black and blue is the only Stones LP with glory and guts
Damn good listen until FTC happens.

Doesn't sounds as good during the winter months...same thing with Burning Spear albums....

Well, as it's one I don't know, I'll get a copy in your honour and let you know - next year!
It's now a cold, cold winter in the UK - so I'll settle for GHS or any winter Reggae record you may compatibly recommend.

Still astounds me to this day that they left Slave and Worried About You unfinished. Just imagine the album with those tracks on it as well.
Had they finished them, of course.
