I'm a fairly young Stones fan (I'm 33), and this album came out when I was 15. I was just beginning to delve into my lengthy journey of discovering classic rock. Rolling Stones, Beatles, Led Zep, etc… all this great music just waiting for me. I saw the video for "Anybody seen my baby" on VH1, and that really got me started on the Stones. I bought that compilation album of 1964-1971, whatever it was called, and that's when I became obsessed! I tried to get my parents to take me to the 1997 Columbus show, but they wouldn't. Then BTB came out. I must have played that record 100 times. Yes, I knew the classics were better, but there was something about it that just kept me coming back. It was a coming of age record for me. I still love listening to it.
Don't let the reviews influence your decision. It's all about how it hits you.

The problem with this version, is Mick Jaggers vocals, in the studio version he sings the lyrics with much more attitude which makes all the difference.

By the way, if you spend your time on a Stones forum, where fans of the Stones spend their time, and you wonder if you should invest something like 10 dollars or Euro on an original Stones album, and this band do only release like one album every five or ten years, and the cost of that album i.e. 10 dollars or pounds is the same as the cost of two or three beers, then I think you are fooling around here, really.

For a list price of $14 and a bargain price of $11, it's hardly worth a second thought. It's probably the best record since Some Girls. Not in the same league as Beggar's banquet through Exile but what music is?
