No, no, he said the whole head was prop/model.....
be authenticated it might be worth a lot more than £3500 these days...
worth maybe, heck I dont know... maybe 20 grand to the right buyer.
Hey, thanks Leonioid. But, I'm nothing special as far as Mom's go...they are all still alive and not in jail, so I guess that counts for something. I did take them all to see the Stones, so extra points there, yes?
Yeah, as I say, he said that, he said "you wouldn't be able to pick it up by yourself........"
That was about 13 years ago, so I don't even know if he's still alive....he used to sell bootlegs at record fairs all over the UK, but didn't look that healthy then.....lived in Great Bardfield in Essex, England.........
Again, funny that we both clearly prefer GHS, but for such different choices.
Those differences are (my choices)
* Dancing With Mr. D (if only because the 73 tour has proved it's a great song)
* Coming Down Again (great song, great feel; IORR is the end of the Taylor era and such a weak try)
* Time Waits For No One of course. Angie is sweet but too sentimental and superficial. Musically Time has so much more to offer.
* Hide Your Love vs. Dance Little Sister: a complete tie.
* Short and Curlies because it swings out of the pan (Dutch saying), CYHTM is a bit farfetched.
* Fingerprint File, because it has something to say and it convinces, while Star Star is the worst one on GHS and the worst song from the 1973 tour setlist (bad lyrics as well).
So my result is: 6 - 3 and one tie.
Only extra points if Taylor was on Rambler
I swear.
I have forgiven Jesus but my mama used to say only Jesus can save us so I hope Jesus will help me in my weakness... Actually, Jesus and tequila, I am satisfied!
I have quoted at least four differents songs next time I'll try five.

Well were not that far off because I could probably swing my votes on on DWMD and CDA....
But I have always loved Angie, it seems pretty heartfelt to me compared to TWFNO which seems corny and contrived both musically and lyrically. Angie has that great acoustic guitar and piano that's hard to dismiss. Of course I was probably 6 yrs old when I fell for it so what did I know about superficiality? Listening to it today the strings are a bit corny, but it cut me deep as a kid.
I'm also not a huge fan of Star Star but FF is just not a great tune imo, they just didn't get deep enough into the groove. It would have been great with Lowell George playing slide on it, though! It's about as close as the Little Feat groove they ever got, reminds me of this one a bit and I wish they had given it a similar treatment.
peace
Short and curlies or silver train Would been great with LG
Talk about your favorite band.

Goat's Head Soup VS It's Only Rock and Roll - track by track
Dancing with Mr. D vs. If You Can't Rock Me
Dacing with Mr D is the winner. Very good riff and something glam here.
I also love the outro. If you can't rock me is better live than in studio and is just a good rn'r track, nothing special.
100 Years Ago vs. Ain't Too Proud To Beg
100 Years ago wins. Love the final MT's solo very Greeny.
Coming Down Again vs. IORR.
IORR. So easy.
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo vs. Til The Next Time
Till the next time is a boring song. Doo Doo Doo is fantastic also live and it is one of the tracks that gives to the album a particular atmosphere that IORR has not got this is the point of the discussion.
Angie vs. Time Waits For No One
I don't know. Maybe TWFNO because of the solo (but it's not a perfect song). Angie is a great ballad; so Angie.
Silver Train vs. Luxury.
Silver Train wins: both are not great songs but just well played. I prefer Johnny winter's version of ST to the Stones' one. Luxury is just a filler.
Hide Your Love vs. Dance Little Sister
Hide Your Love: fantastic piano blues with a great guitar work.
In DLS they are an imitation of themselves.
Winter vs. If You Really Want To Be My Friend.
Winter another important track of GHS.
Can You Hear The Music vs. Short & Curlies
S&C very bluesy. CYHTM does not take off: It has no musical direction.
I always thought that the boys have imagined differently .
Star Star vs. Fingerprint File
FF. It has got news elements and a good bass riff. SS is a normal song.

Dancing With Mr. D vs. If You Can't Rock Me: Only because of Taylors playing on IYCRM
100 Years Ago vs Ain't Too Proud To Beg: By a long shot.
Coming Down Again vs IORR: Tough call, I've liked IORR forever and have recently come to appreciate CDA, but I'll go IORR since it's basically the only decent tune on that record.
Heartbreaker vs Till The Next Time: No comparison really
Angie vs Time Waits For No One: Again easy choice
Silver Train vs Luxury - If Luxury was better produced, better written and better performed it might have stood a chance...
Hide Your Love vs Dance Little Sister: Great piano wins every time.
Winter vs If You Really Want To Be My Friend: If anyone picks IYRWTBMF I will be shocked.
Can You Hear The Music vs Short and Curlies: Stones using effects to great effect?...sign me up
Star Star vs FingerPrint File: A tune they can't ruin by playing it too fast live gets my vote
So it's 8 to 2 in favor of GHS for me and the 2 really could have gone either way.
peace

If you're doing an album comparison, I don't understand the logic of basing it on comparing each track to the other albums's track of the same number. Unless its just for the sake of playing a fun little game. Then , that's fine. But What if you thought 100 years ago wasn't as good as ATPTB but better than Till the next Goodbye? Under this system, it wouldn't get any points. Its not really a measure of which album is better.

Dancing With Mr. D vs. If You Can't Rock Me: Just - but I prefer the more evocative lyrics even if a bit tongue in cheek.
100 Years Ago vs Ain't Too Proud To Beg: No contest
Coming Down Again vs IORR: No reason, too different to compare directly but IORR, well, it has a website named after it.....
Heartbreaker vs Till The Next Time: TTNT is pretty but............
Angie vs Time Waits For No One: It pains me as Angie was the first Stones song I heard
Silver Train vs Luxury - just rocks and rolls like a fast train over the points
Hide Your Love vs Dance Little Sister: Tough one, but prefer a rocker here...
Winter vs If You Really Want To Be My Friend: No contest again...Winter is sublime
Can You Hear The Music vs Short and Curlies: Like a leftover from SMR and I love it...although SAC is fairly funny...
Star Star vs FingerPrint File: Star @#$%& is great rocker but FF...again, sublimely original one off.....
So...GHS 6 IORR 4

ugggh Oh, Ok fine :
Dancing with Mr. D, If You Can't Rock Me but they both are pretty weak as openers, they were better live.
100 Years Ago, ATPTB
Coming Down Again, Its Only Rock N Roll
Heart Breaker, Till The Next Time
Angie, Time Waits For No One
Silver Train, Luxury
Hide Your Love Dance Little Sister
Winter If You Really Want to Be My Friend
Can You Hear The Music Short and Curlies
Starfukcer Fingerprint File
Looks like a tie, and that seems about right.

That's it fingers...
Your logic is flawed and your theory a mess...too many unsound basis to go into but I'll single out this:
You hate CYHTM? Hate?
This song kills it because of Keith's Vibroverb tone alone. Mick Taylor's layered guitars ala Brian May...you HATE this? Jagger's just out of bed vocal delivery...
This flaw in your attack plan negates the rest of the argument.
That LP has got you by the balls...it's too bad
The Soup stands alone.

CYHTM is an otherworldly experience that hits you when you least expect it.
I don't know what a vibroverb is, but it's fascinating. Almost like some freakish voice.

At some point "Black and Blue" needs to be discussed,
it does not receive near enough attention and shirley feels left out.
Black and Blue has a problem in that it only has 8 tracks.
Maybe we could have it compete against one of the two double albums within Voodoo Lounge, Bridges or ABB?
Bridges and Bigger Bang are both awesome
Dang right they are...
and do not allow anyone to ever claim or convince you other wise.**
**Which basically means-
ignore people who are stuck, there is no fixing them, and no hope
of ever explaining to them why these are damn fine Stones albums too.
Once some people explained me why I should "Open my heart and let Jesus come in..."
and I guess that is the same thing here
...
let's be honest my life is better without Jesus and A Bigger Bang
Perhaps both could have been improved by some editing. For ABB, fewer tracks.
For Jesus, fewer disciples.
I'm open to other ideas.
I have forgiven Jesus but my mama used to say only Jesus can save us so I hope Jesus will help me in my weakness... Actually, Jesus and tequila, I am satisfied!
I have quoted at least four differents songs next time I'll try five.

Goat and IORR are the ones I listen to the most, and I love them both.
Track for track... weird but I´m game.
DWMD / IYCRAM - Rock me is a clear winner here
100 Years / Beg - ! 100 years ago on top
Coming Down / IORR ...the latter.
Doo Doo Doo /till the next goodbye... Doo Doo Doo
Angie / Time... Time is the one
Silver Train /Luxury... Silver Train! Fantastic song (though the alternate mixes are the better ones)
Hide Your Love / Dance little Sister .... as above.
Winter / If You Really... a tie. Two favorite ballads here.
Can You hear the music /Short and curlies .... CYHTM!
Star Star / Fingerprint File...Love them both; Star features Keithat his Chuck Berry-best....
...BUT Fingerprint File alone makes IORR the winner.
good night....sleep tight

* Dancing With Mr. D (if only because the 73 tour has proved it's a great song)
* Coming Down Again (great song, great feel; IORR is the end of the Taylor era and such a weak try)
* Time Waits For No One of course. Angie is sweet but too sentimental and superficial. Musically Time has so much more to offer.
* Hide Your Love vs. Dance Little Sister: a complete tie.
* Short and Curlies because it swings out of the pan (Dutch saying), CYHTM is a bit farfetched.
* Fingerprint File, because it has something to say and it convinces, while Star Star is the worst one on GHS and the worst song from the 1973 tour setlist (bad lyrics as well).
So my result is: 6 - 3 and one tie.
Well were not that far off because I could probably swing my votes on on DWMD and CDA....
But I have always loved Angie, it seems pretty heartfelt to me compared to TWFNO which seems corny and contrived both musically and lyrically. Angie has that great acoustic guitar and piano that's hard to dismiss. Of course I was probably 6 yrs old when I fell for it so what did I know about superficiality? Listening to it today the strings are a bit corny, but it cut me deep as a kid.
I'm also not a huge fan of Star Star but FF is just not a great tune imo, they just didn't get deep enough into the groove. It would have been great with Lowell George playing slide on it, though! It's about as close as the Little Feat groove they ever got, reminds me of this one a bit and I wish they had given it a similar treatment.
peace
Short and curlies or silver train Would been great with LG

I'm probably one of the few people that loves Dancing With Mr. D (and also realizes it's about death and not some Sympathy rip off). If you can't see the hypocrisy in the first few tracks of IORR then you don't understand an album as a whole story. "If you can't rock me, somebody will" into "I never want to leave you." Stop sending mixed signals damnit!
