What they should have done is gotten rid of songs like Cherry Oh Baby, Melody and Hot Stuff and added Slave and Worried About You for example.

it's funny how albums like this are looked at now as some obscure throwaway in the stones career when in reality black and blue was the number one album in america for a few weeks in 1976.

Black and Blue is arguably their weakest studio album to that point. The best stuff is good but half of it I don't really care if I hear again.
If they were going to expand it I would rather hear the rehearsal material with Jeff Beck, after all it was really just the guitarist try out album.
However, on the good side it is recorded well. Too bad the material isn't better.

Eerrr... No.
It's Only RNR is a lot weaker. They sound tired and bored on that record.

If "Slavef" and "Worried about You" were on "black and blue", the day you would have listen to the Hot Stuff and Cherry oh baby" as outtakes, you would said: why they didn't put both songs on the LP instead of Slavef" and "Worried about You".
Some people always think that outtakes are better than released tracks.. They are the musicians and I think there was good reasons choosing these tracks.

GHS has grown on me in later years. IORR has not, in fact just the opposite.
GHS is weaker as well, imo.

Exactly. There will always be those people who thinks 'what we didn't get was the best'. It's some kind of inadequate attitude towards the artists, which is very unfortunate. The records are what they are. They are the finished product. Take it or leave it.
