Is this really worth getting? I've never listened to a Mick Jagger solo album before and I'm kind of worried that if I get this all the songs will sound like Streets of Love. But I've heard some good things about it. Quality wise, is it as good as a Stones' albums or at least almost as good?

best 'stones' album of the post-tattoo you era. buy it NOW!

Personally to me, it ranks in the TOP 5 Rock ALbums of the 90s...maybe even of all times. I love that album.

It's awesome, get it!

"It's Good To Be Here, It's Good To Be Anywhere"-Keith Richards

"Halloween Is Every Night Of My Life"-Keith Richards

"I Got The Sticky Fingers, For Some Girls"

It hold's up better than Voodoo Lounge in some spots....

The best Stones related album, incl Stones albums, of all albums since Tattoo You, and better than a few before that, even, IMO! Go geddit!

Agree Nikkibong! Best Stones related album since Tattoo You

As good as a Mick solo gets.

That concert from WEbster Hall is the S$#$!!!!

That album fights for the top spot of solo Stones releases with Talk Is Cheap...

A fine record, if somewhat frustrating when you think what the Stones as a band could have done with the best of the songs on that and Keith's even more excellent "Main Offender", which came out 3 months earlier.

Ronnie 4 first albums is in the top too, I think.

Oh yeah. Ronnie. I forgot Ronnie completely. Certainly his first album is right up there too.


Gaz: You think Main Offender is that good? I'm surprised....

Wandering Spirit is my fav solo stones release follwed by Kieth Talk is cheap & MAin offender. MEz

it was completely re-written by Mick before the release as the manager of Atlantic listened to a first work and was not happy with it.
Mick worked hard on this album and it is great !!

you gave me an idea. now i come back home to watch the 93 Webster hall concert on my big screen.

Mick is the best.

i posted on this last year,wandering spirit is one of the best rock albums of all time,as good as any stones album.great lyrics,ass kickin straight ahead,rock,country and funk.jaggers vocals are top notch,as well as the bands playing and rick rubins production is impecable.need i say more.

How many times must this be asked?! @#$%& YES.

Great album, best Stones-related one since Tattoo You as many have said.

I keep hearing that Jagger and producer Rick Rubin didn't get along during the making of this - does anyone have any details or perhaps a link to more information?

Best Stones-related album since Tattoo You. A classic.

Get it and Main Offender--they're both better than anything the Stones have done from the 90s on.

Do you have more on this? Who was this "manager"? I can't imagine a studio head having the nuts to say that.

some lovely stuff on this record, great fast rockers, a great country song in "evening gown" and "angel in my heart" will make you ball your eyes out. yes it is good and he has come along way since she's the boss. I really like primitive cool, it is a great rockin record but goddess in the doorway is really good, it is jagger pouring his heart out for once, I like every song except the title track, how ironic, just cause richards called it dog crap in the doorway everyone wrote it off, take a good listen it is deep and powerful.I also love keith do not get me wrong, I seen him in detroit with the winos in 88 and again in vancouver at the queen elizabeth theatre in 92 or 93? anyway he is great solo also but together they are rock and roll and still rollin!
" you use to be my number one"

I think so . Primitive Cool is #1 then Wandering Spirit with a tie between Goddess In The Doorway And She's The Boss . The soundtrack from Alfie ain't too bad either . I just guess I like almost whatever any of the guys puts out . Some take a little getting used to . But all have some redeeming qualities .

can't say i have listened to wandering spirit for a long time,bought she's the boss recently on cd had it on vinyl since it's release,primative cool not played for years,goddess i dought i will ever play again,love talk is cheap had it on tape in my car for years,main offender i also love and play often,ron's stuff own album 1 of my all time favourites played more than any of his others,slide on live i used to play a lot and at the ritz with bo diddley.some of wymans stuff with the rythm kings is also very good double bil for instance,i will have to dig out a few of these to play now cheers for the reminder

Thanks for the replies. So many positive comments about this album, I'll definitely be picking up the cd tomorrow.
