Kick ass record. Right up there with anything they've ever done, imo. Perhaps the last gasp of true rock greatness from this band.
Certainly the point at which heroin started to turn against many of the players in the Stones circle, Keith, Anita, Andy Johns and Jimmy Miller being the most obvious examples although I think Bobby Keys and others were equally feeling the negative ramification of addiction at this time.
I wish more footage and stories of the making of this record were around. I've seen no video of the Jamaican Stones from 1973 and precious few photographs. Strange that there isn't a trace of a reggae feel about the record considering where they were.
Billy Preston was fantastic on this one. RIP Billy.

No worries, I will probably get around to telling the story in greater detail someday, I was actually waiting to find a couple pictures to accompany the story to embellish it and show how absolutely beautiful Patti was at that time. This is not the thread to tell it though and fyi it was 2 boats rides, not just one!....and one party which went on all night and half the next morning.
