It's the first intire album composed in the knowlegde that Beatles is not around anymore.
Interesting observation. I thought it was EOMS...
Some EOMS songs like "Loving Cup" date back to 1969.
Yeah, that's what I meant.

There's always an exception: Hide Your Love was started in 1970, wasn't it?

Yes, but after The Beatles split.

Rocky, I looked at this, which is fantastic, for 1979 about Think I'm Going Mad and it says Bobby Keys but one of them "may be Ron Wood" so apparently officially no one knows who played saxophone on Think I'm Going Mad.
Additionally to that, they show no studio work done in 1981 for TATTOO YOU, which is strange seeing that there was work done in 1981, especially the final lead vocals for Start Me Up.

I think all of "Neighbors" was done in '81

Much of Tattoo You was Jagger doing vocal overdubs in Paris with the Stones mobile unit parked inside a warehouse. There was a great article about this a few years ago that detailed Mick's daily commute to the warehouse, the lack of heat and his desire to pull an album together before they set out on a new tour.

Indeed. Chris Kimsey posted it. Very interesting read

Its quite amazing to think that in the period of six weeks that Mick and Chris took to finish the vocals for what turned out to be a hugely successful album, Keith didnt show up once, despite living a few miles away.

Maybe he did, its hard to tell as the sessionography has a lot of guesswork. But if he did, then going by that article, he must have done so in New York, not Paris.
El Mocambo is the answer See DAC-117, Tracks 1 and 10.Quote

It would be great if the reissue had some outtakes, demos and rough instrumentals for us to hear the progression of the songs. Perhaps even some live cuts of rare songs.
I could swear I heard a live version of Worried About You from an Australian show in the mid 1970’s long before it appeared on Tattoo You.

I feel like Exile is a 50’s album recorded in the early 70’s by a band in their twenties, while Goats Head is thoroughly a 70’s album. The clav is a quintessential 70’s keyboard.
I don’t consider Dancing With Mr. D a rocker, but a druggy, swampy, blues. Star, Heartbreaker, Silver Train, and the latter part of 100 Years Ago Rock much harder than Mr. D.

As much as I enjoy a lot of the tunes on Goats Head Soup, I always thought that Dancing with Mr D was one of the weakest openers of a Rolling Stone record. I sometimes wonder whether a different running order of songs would have elevated GHS status.

I think it was a miscalculation on their part. It sounded great on stage in '73. Then again, Angie was the only other cut that would have been a strong opener. They usually kicked off albums with a rocker, and there were only a handful to choose from on GHS, with Dancing With Mister D being closest to being a single. I think it's one of the things that make a lot of Stones fans consider this album uneven. Angie is simply head and shoulders above anything else on the album. Kind of like the Undercover album. Undercover of the Night simply blows away the rest of the album, although GHS, overall, was a much stronger work than Undercover.
