treaclefingers, I totally agree about your comment on Live By The Sword. Wish I can love it more myself.

I definitely still listen to the album. I see it as a very worthwhile addition to the back catalogue, and I am eagerly awaiting the follow-up, should we ever actually get it.

One opinion that hasn't changed in a while for me though is regarding my skippable songs. Dreamy Skies and Tell Me Straight just don't fit for me. I know those songs are a lot of others favourites, but to me they just feel out of place on an otherwise party album.
Don't me wrong, I don't dislike the songs, just he sequencing. The other day I listened to Crosseyed Heart, and straight after, I put Tell Me Straight on and it was perfect - in fact it made me appreciate it in a whole new light, but on HD, it just kills the mood.

Whilst we are talking about 'shoulda-been-a-single' songs, I am astounded that nothing was done with Whole Wide World. I know a lot of people find it derivative, but the chord sequence, the minor-verse-major-chorus setup and the general message from the song feels like it would absolutely fit in today's charts.

I haven't listened to HD since the beginning of this year. The way I remember it is that it's alright for what it is, but there are plenty of better or more interesting albums to chose from, so I never pick HD. The same is true for their other post-Undercover albums.
I did, however, listen to Crosseyed Heart yesterday, after a long time and I enjoyed it very much. Impressed by much of the guitar work and - of course - especially the soul ballads. I think CH still works on many levels. I still don't like Blues in the Morning. And, to be honest, Tell Me Straight is alright, but it's not nearly as good as the best songs on CH.

What's not to like about Blues in the Morning ?

It's just a band having fun playing some old time loose Rock N Roll

All the best or at least my favorite songs on this album were never played live. Get Close is such a great song.

Agreed. How this wasn't a single is startling. Depending on you deserved a little oxygen too.

Sometimes they're aware of the obvious singles, like Start Me Up, Waiting On A Friend, Tumbling Dice, Miss You, Beast Of Burden.

How Respectable was a single I dunno. Why Ain't Too Proud To Beg was a single...

Why Rocks Off wasn't a single - that one is probably the most obvious of their career.

Why Get Close wasn't and Mess It Up was is bizarre.

Although I like Depending On You, it starts off too slow. It's too similar to Streets Of Love, regardless of being a million times better song - it's too long and too slow. Why they thought Streets Of Love was a good choice for a single when the supreme Laugh, I Nearly Died would've been a much smarter choice, for a ballad, anyway... and The Biggest Mistake gets released and 3 people knew about it?

Weird. Just weird decisions.

I wonder if Mick is in control of that, or whether the marketing team decides. Rocks Off was pretty obvious. I think I've seen it as a single in the Japanese market so maybe it was released there? What about Sympathy For The Devil? It's successful despite being an album cut and I don't count the ABKCO 1976 release counts. Or YCAGWYW as a b side. Ridiculous.

I was in Ace Hardware today and... some song from the 1970s was on, I think, Eagles or some yawn band, and then I heard BADANOWDANANA... I stood still: WTF, Can't You Hear Me Knocking is on... whatever they're playing? How does that happen?

I think Ace Hardware has its own radio station... or music feed. A majority of the people going into Ace Hardware are... 60s-80s in age. Based on my need to go there sometimes (way too expensive but).

I recall Mick not being pleased that Atlantic chose Angie as the first single off of GOATS HEAD SOUP (until it did well) so perhaps with STICKY FINGERS they were ripe to say, look, you old lot, Brown Sugar is the single.

After that, ha ha, really? Wild Horses?

Ok. It was the first year of the 1970s and, hey, man...

A year later (roughly) and... someone decided Tumbling Dice is the first single? Not the first song on the album? Which is way more UP?

Love Tumbling Dice but... that wouldn't be my first pick for first single. Second single, yes, but Rocks Off is beyond obvious. They've had how many albums with the first track being the single? 7 albums. I think. I wouldn't count the 1960s. But 1971 on: Brown Sugar, Miss You, Start Me Up, Undercover Of The Night, Rough Justice, Just Your Fool and... Angry. Some are obvious - Mixed Emotions would've been a horrible LP opener. Sad Sad Sad is absolutely appropriate. One Hit was the second single! Not a thrilling single. Crazy Mama, the B-side to Fool To Cry (???) might've been the best choice - Ladies and gentlemen, whores and bruisers, the sleazy Rolling Stones!

It appears that Rolling Stones Records (Mick, obviously) didn't have a lot of say (it was really difficult to avoid the obvious pun but I did it - where's my @#$%& trophy?) so... they had a couple of blandish albums, what, obviously the title track to IORR should be a single, but If You Can't Rock Me would've been better... and from BLACK AND BLUE?? Ehhhhh.... Hand Of Fate - love the tune but - is dull. Crazy Mama - love the tune - a lot - but it's.... a drag yet it's UP in its way - maybe the best choice, really. Memory Motel - ehhhhhh, to edit it would be to truly kill it so... Fool To Cry could be shortened and no one would notice, really... but it's kinda... long. Slow.

Crazy Mama would've been best. However, going with the schmaltz of Fool To Cry... which is a great song, actually but in context, eh. It absolutely did not line up with them going on tour as a raggily rock'n'roll band... with a ballad that Keith fell asleep to after hitting his head on his Sheperd's pie crust every night?

So why no Melody? Seems rather obvious - thrown it all to the wind. The other essence of The Rolling Stones - jazz.

Fine. Don't do the obvious.

Miss You? Mick must've put his foot down on that one. After that he obviously didn't care, because Respectable isn't exactly single material nor is Shattered, the latter being much better. And now we get to hear Beast Of Bawden... or something like that.

Emotional Rescue... Mick. She's So Cold... Atlantic. She's So Cold... outstanding tune... horrible single. Dance would've been a better single. Oh and just think - they could've release If I Was A Dancer as the B-side!!! Oh my not Sucking The Seventies In The Seventies! I love how it's "an Emotional Rescue outtake" when most of the tracks are from 1979 - not 1980. So technically, yes, true, but it's released in 1981? Of course it is - nobody knew it was from 1979!

Eh, it's from 1979.

Start Me Up... Mick. Atlantic... Hang Fire and Waiting On A Friend. Actually, no other song from TATTOO YOU, really, would've been bad as a single. Think if they'd truly been daring - Heaven.

And then Waiting On A Friend.

Undercover Of The Night - Mick was in total control at that point - besides, very soon after completion, the Stones signed with Columbia/CBS Records so yeah, Mick! She Was Hot was obvious but Too Much Blood? THAT was a SINGLE??? Mick had his way with that one, too. It's obvious.

Strange how if All The Way Down was discussed as a single and Mick said no because of the lyrics - I'm obviously making this up - because Too Much Blood... I think he chose Too Much Blood as a $&*#@ &@#$% to Atlantic. Maybe Mick felt Atlantic were.... ohhh, ha ha. Not going there either.

Good move, actually, that single. As fantastic as She Was Hot is, it's too usual. The only other song, realistically, in the rock'n'roll aspect, that's single worth from UNDERCOVER, is All The Way Down. Fantastic tune and obvious for radio.

Except, ehhh, for some reason.

I appreciate these talks about whatever: it's ending soon.

...and in 1984 for Rewind they rerelease Miss You as a single, backed with Too Tough (which I love and think should have been it's own single).

It just feels like such and odd decision to slap Too Tough on the back of Miss You.

What about Sympathy For The Devil? It's successful despite being an album cut and I don't count the ABKCO 1976 release counts. Or YCAGWYW as a b side. Ridiculous.

SFTD was a single (edited) in the Netherlands in 1973, apparently where it only appears. There's the 2003 remix that was interesting, although I've never found any information on why that was done but there is this:



Yeah, ha ha, that edit of YCAGWYW is very strange. LOL why not Live With Me or, better yet, Country Honk?

HOT ROCKS is a very smart comp - Under My Thumb, SFTD and Gimme Shelter, the only non-singles, and the live Midnight Rambler?

1975's ROLLED GOLD is probably a little more interesting because it goes back a little further but it's essentially HOT ROCKS, and of course the 2007 reissue is the best ABKCO compilation, combining the best of HOT ROCKS and MORE HOT ROCKS on one release.

Maybe Promotone/Polydor/Universal International Music will reissue HONK, ha haaaa, with the three HD singles and throw in one more, like Get Close or Driving Me Too Hard, which is excellent, too. They updated the online version that starts with Living In A Ghost Town.

It's too bad they didn't come up with a better title, because HONK is pretty bad. Not as bad as THE SIMIAN DISASTER but, come ON, and then to rip off JUMP BACK...

Stones 2025 tour most likely will be for HD so maybe Promotone/Geffen/Polydor/UMG will release a fourth HD single ahead of the tour.

Or release both - Driving Me Too Hard in March or April, when the tour is announced or whatever, and then release Get Close just days before the tour starts, not months way before (Mess It Up).

How many copies has HD sold worldwide up to now?

About 1.4 million copies worldwide including streaming points (although sales are more than 95% of that total)

The REWIND single was Brown Sugar. And it looks like Too Tough was not the B-side.

Yeah I have that. But there's actually a Miss You/Too Tough single as well. I think it's pretty rare. I'll have to check if I have it.

And it would appear that I do NOT in fact own that. I forgot because I spent quite awhile looking for it about 15 years ago on EBAY.

I've just had a listen to this album after not having done so for a while. My opinion has not changed. It's a damn fine achievement for the old rascals. A few tracks I really like. A few that I like. A few that I think are OK. None that I dislike. Get busy on the next one you old goats.

A friend recently listened to HD, apparently for the first time, last week, and was floored. He loves it. He's not a real heavy Stones fan but he thinks it's the best thing they've done in eons.

I agree, still, and I don't see that changing. I listened to it recently and it's still vibrant as &@*# as it was the day I got it.

I listened to it nonstop for 9 months and then suddenly stopped, because I was afraid I would get sick of it, I guess maybe just after the Vancouver show.

So I'm going to stay off it for a bit and then enjoy it all over again, maybe at Christmas.

I've yet to get my PC back up and running but when I do, I'm adding LIAGT and HD and will be updating REWIND/JUMP BACK/HONK kind of hits comp but not necessarily with 2 of the 3 singles but what should've been 2 singles instead (Get Close and Driving Me Too Hard) and sans a few other hits tracks that aren't really necessary (IORR, Respectable, Harlem Shuffle, a few others).

Because why not...

I'm having a spin on HD for the first time in a few months now. It sounds fresh and just as good as I thought it would.

A very good album

Ha ha - every time I play it, lately, and Angry comes roaring out, when it's done, it reminds me of how a lot of their opening tracks are very blocked, there's no twists, really. Angry has some twists to it, the structure relaxes, the song even breathes for a few seconds. It goes off.

I love Rough Justice but there's not much to it. Sad Sad Sad... it just plows. A lot of opening tracks, regardless of how fantastic (Brown Sugar, Rocks Off, Gimme Shelter, Miss You, Start Me Up) or WTF? (Dancing With Mr D, Hot Stuff, Dance) interesting or flat out bizarre (Sing This All Together, SFTD) are all extremely structured, nothing really goes off.

It's certainly a rare thing.

The two biggest singles taken from Hackney Diamonds are back on the U.K. charts this week. They have both already reached the rankings they appear on this frame, and they manage to simultaneously return as well.

“Angry” lands inside the top 40 on both of the tallies it reaches in the United Kingdom at the moment. The Rolling Stones send the smash to No. 31 on the Official Vinyl Singles ranking and No. 40 on the Official Physical Singles chart.

The band doubles up on the Official Physical Singles chart with a second hit from Hackney Diamonds. “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” is back at No. 49 on that list this week. The single credits both Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder, who are also present on the tally alongside the rockers.

That’s semi-unsurprising. If it’d had charted once again in the UK Top 40, then that’d be something. That’s the main chart, after all.
