QuoteGasLightStreet ..... When people go on about how Continental Drift is great, they talking about the Mick solo song that precedes and postcedes the Musicians of Jajouka part? Never heard anything compelling about it. In the first place, as I have also written elsewhere, the song is meant to be heard in relation to its middle instrumental part. That is, maybe the track is a piece of music

QuoteDoxa While we are at it, I think "Think I'm Going Mad" (it is a song of its own) is better than anything on UNDERCOVER and DIRTY WORK (although "Undercover of The Night" and "She Was Hot" come close).

QuoteRocky Dijon The song has been played live, by Mick in 1988, in reference to the original post. The widely bootlegged demo version showed some promise which the extended mixes built upon. Pity the album track and 45 missed out on the fact that the track had some swing to it buried underneath the seemingly deliberate veneer of ugliness. It was an odd time.

QuoteGreen Lady What the Mail has really got wrong is claiming that the decision to stop playing BS live was a result, rather than a cause, of arguments about it on this site. The big argument first really boiled up on the live thread for the St. Louis show, AFTER it became clear that BS wasn't going to be played. This is it!

To me EMOTIONAL RESCUE is even better than SOME GIRLS, both among their approximately twelve great albums, preferably otherwise without internal ranking.
