QuoteWitness Quotetreaclefingers .......... I do have a question and this is not asking you to "justify" anything as we like what we like. It's more that you have Tattoo You and Dirty Work at the same level...I can personally understand the relative disdain for Dirty Work but wonder what it is about Tattoo You that turns you off? Just very curious. Thx Witness. treacle,

Lots of opinions on what's best, what's not and I'd love to hear them. Curious now with 6 months or so since Hackney Diamonds has been released, presumably enough time to absorb and assess how everyone would rate the catalogue beginning in 1980. So, here's my list in order. I've also listed the "key track" (which is not necessarily the best track - thou

Quotedcba Another possibility would be a revamped "Steel Wheels" : it would be a nice tribute to Charlie (the album is a showcase of the drummer's talent). And according to Nico's site there are quite a few outtakes from 1989. Lastly I wouldn't mind hearing a "Montserrat" version of the lovely song "Gangster's Moll". I would enjoy that. Grea

For multiple reasons: 1) Sound quality of the vinyl is really good. Nice separation of the stereo channels, all instruments are on a good level in the mix. Sounds really fresh and energetic. 2) The songs really

QuoteGasLightStreet I thought Driving Me Too Hard would be a logical 4th single but I'm starting to think Get Close would be just as good, if not, a better choice - it offers a little bit more. Get Close is a standout. I also think WWW woulda/shoulda been a consideration and Depending on You is gorgeous; your lyrical observations notwithstanding I think could also have worked as a single

In a way it is but the finished TY version displays another side of the band's talent : the ability to take a raw blueprint of a song, excise all the weak parts, keeping all the good bits, and slap on it a tremendous sax solo 6 years after the original take was re

Quoteliddas What really surprises me of all the outtakes that leaked over the years, is how diverse the Stones could sound - both composition and playing - and how little of this diversity ended up in the albums released along the years.
