Been listening to this much-maligned CD. I think it's cool. Remember how long it had been since we had anything new in 1989? Recorded in basically 6 weeks. That's gotta be some kind of Stones record! Suffers from a little 80's production, but I still dig it. Give it another chance, ya'll!

Being a CPA myself, I've found that novelty ties don't add much to the client's confidence...especially when auditing or testifying.
anyway....I have only found the falling tounges tie...perhaps our friends at the Rollingstones.com store will offer it again....keep hope alive.
i just got a boot of the first stones show i attended. it was on the steel wheels tour. Man, 2000 light years, little red rooster, one hit,play with fire . what a great setlist!
"Terrifying" is an absolute classic, and "Slipping Away" is a brilliant soul ballad. The rest sounds a bit hurried and generic but it's a nice album overall. The only song I have to skip is "Blinded by Love", one of those embarrassing "Mexican" ballads that Mick writes once in a while.
The funny thing is that I did not like SW when it came out mainly for its sound - that as a matter of fact was the trend at the time - but it grew on me, and now I like it, sound included, despite it is so outdated!

Yeah, like "Sweethearts Together" from Vodoo Lounge...
The Great Album at the right time for a huge and most "popular" tour. Who has not in mind the gig intro of " Continental Drift" followed by a gigantic Start Me Up. The last album featuring Bill. His last tour too. But the revival tour also.
