Little Richard, Right Now (rec. 1973, rel. 1974) Great, but often overlooked album, produced by Robert "Bumps" Blackwell. Timeless, rootsy sound. First re-release on vinyl since the late 1970s.

Just one, all others will cease to exist, including pre Dirty work albums Go As Dirty Work is my favorite Rolling Stones album, this is easy. Dirty Work it is.

Quotebobo When did they make a real solid album from start to finish? Never. Overrated all the way through. Every album sounds the same. Weak songs, a riff here and there that is good. That is it, for me though. "Let There Be Rock" (international version).

Little Richard's "Pray Along With Little Richard Vol. 1 & 2" (1960) are two of his best albums and fantastic, southern gospel albums featuring authentic recordings of the music he grew up with. Interestingly Richard is not using his shouting Rock & Roll style voice, but sings in a full baritone. I Want Jesus To Walk With Me: Troubles Of The World:

One of the best things the Rolling Stones have ever recorded. The essence of the band – unadorned, raw, mysterious and dirty. Loud and distorted guitar by Keith, cool vocals and great blues harmonica by Mick. I wish they'd do a whole album like that, because no one sounds like those two guys in that setting.

It's funny how opinions about the band's work can differ – "Dirty Work" has been my favorite Rolling Stones album since I first heard it on the day of release. It's everything I hoped it would be – raw and dirty rock & roll, blues, R & B, reggae and funk. I love every track on it.

Quotemkbbcmr "Back Of My Hand" sounds "somewhat sterile"? I beg to differ. The "detached" vocals, the dystopian lyrics ("Goya's paranoias" indeed) and the rawness of the recording add up to anything but sterile. Great track. Best track on ABB.

Quotewiredallnight Why should I buy vinyl records in mono? It's like buying a VHS cassette in black & white. Stereo for consumer use was first introduced in 1958.
