If I had 5 favorites...this is #1...its gotta be my homemade vesion that includes Save Me, Through The Lonely Nights, Separately and a few others. Just a fantastic piece of recorded history.
Bobby Keys is great
Could you send me the track list for your alternate GHS? Thanks, interested to hear what you had in mind!

I used to hate this album but have gradually got into it over the years. I think knowing the state most of the band were in at the time helps you appreciate that they did a surprisingly good job. Also some of the weaker albums that followed have made it seem better that it is in retrospect.
It is so close to being really good. I wish there were a few more tracks on it actually as it always seemed to miss a few more rockers to give it more contrast.
For me the killer blow to this being a classic is the lack of Keith guitar. There seems to be a big hole in each song where Keith should be layering which is filled by keyboard. Dancing with Mr D is the only real riff that jumps out.
The only tunes I don't like are Coming Down Again which is boring and depressing and Angie which is a bit cheesy. Everything else I can enjoy so considering most LPs have a bit of filler that is not a bad average.

I was listening and playing Angie on acoustic and I thought Angie could be the only song started with harmonic at 12th fret. It just a great opening intro I am sure Keith had something to do with it along with MT. I can not see Jagger coming up with the intro.

I think some of the albums after are actually maybe stronger in content but I am not really a big fan of the sound of B&B or Some Girls (even if they have better songs overall).

What was it, it took Keith over a week to get the bass line for Heartbreaker right? He was probably heavy on the ganj at the time.

"Wild Horses" is another nice examples with Harmonics.
Yes is that with the Nashville tuned 12 string - For me there has always been a mystery of who played what on WH - I only learned like 15 years ago that it was Keith on the electric clean solo and not MT If you listen to the WH outtakes on the boots, Keith's solo is so bad you wonder how he got to the final clean electric version. I always thought MT played the solo until I joined the stones forums and learned how wrong I was. Wild Horses has so many great guitar parts and its like Stairway To Heaven with all the different guitar parts. Keith was a genius with his solo as he used the notes of the chords to base his solo.

I have always thought why was Angie track 5, I think the track listings could of been better placed better and maybe the album would of been received better when it first came out.
Maybe just change the first two songs to:
Heartbreaker
Angie
