I have wondered whether the misunderstanding, by the way cleared up in an early post on this very board (at a time when I myself had not yet obtained a vinyl version of the album), about whose point of view is taken during the verses of "Sweet NeoCon", in contrast to the short "answers", might have contributed to an amount of bad publicity. That is, some challenging lines are

Due to personal reasons of no common interest, I obtained my vinyl ABB rather late, and I have only slowly arrived at about 20 listenings. For me, that means it is early days yet. What the market says, is of course of importance. What will be the view of "posterity", it is impossible to state without doubt. - My personal view so far seems to be that aBB promises to be good enough an

My situation at the moment is such that I have to obtain a vinyl version of ABB. Is it available in vinyl by now, does anybody know?

I consider it very wise to give the people at large what they want. At the same time I think that is just as wise not to give the people all that they want. Give them part of it. That is, don't give them so much of it. Warhorses should be a mere privilege to experience, not the stable diet. Make people come back for more of something else of it - on another concert in some other city, possi

I don't really hate "Melody" even if it is probably the Stones track that I regularly least prefer.(I don't take Metamorphosis tracks into consideration, but I do not hate any of those.) However, I remember the distant time period when I had started to like some Rolling Stones music very much, as much as the band was comparatively new to me, but had not yet grown into unco

Oh, am I too late? Have I missed the train? Anyway, the following three songs today (most possibly some others another day): 1) "Tell Me" 2) "Good Times, Bad Times" 3) "Long, Long While"

One of a minority, I belong to those who think that there are no "worst Stones album(s)", only superb, good and a few least good ones. Neither have I got a fixed order of preference for Stones albums. It's still living for me and changes. As to least good ones, I would all the same at most times have to mention "Tattoo You". Not as a distaste of the individual tracks,
