Love it, as I do the whole album. Black & Blue, the songs, the image, the aura around them at the time, the European tour in '76 - decadence indeed with some great songs. Hey Negrita, like Hot Stuff, is irresistible. Loved the version on the Knebworth boot even more than the studio version, both are mighty fine, funky Stones joints. Memory Motel, Fool To Cry; a pair of sublime bal

QuoteVoodooLounge13 Thanks all for confirming the non-existence of LIAGT on the back of the CD. Was hoping maybe I had something valuable! LOL Rather odd though, as the bonus tracks have been listed in the past. I had the very same thought when it first arrived - where was LIAGT!^ Not on the track listing, but indeed there on the Obi. First time I have seen a bonus track not getting a mention

Quotewiredallnight I received the 2 CD set from Amazon.fr. Very nice to have the show also on CDs (the DVD/Bluray is already in the box, I don't need it again). Now we need also Paradiso and Brixton on CDs. It's such a great show, have it on here this evening. Is there a booklet with the CD version you got?

Whole Wide World is rocking on this - the whole lot is good, definitely has a spark and magic to it, it's not '78 or '72 but it's quality rock'n'roll. Whole Wide World though I've had on 3 or 4 times already this afternoon. Ronnie channelling Neil Young/Crazy Horse on those solos (like the album version). May even prefer this to the studio version.

Thanks Irix, it's the live album version of Sweet Sounds I cant find - with the artwork of the new edition. The other 6 are all there, uploaded today.

Sounding really good actually, much better than the videos. Overdubs? Whatever, the guitars are nice and clear and raucous. The tracks are better than I was expecting. Can't seem to find 'Sweet Sounds' on YouTube, the other six are there though.

Japanese version of 2 CD Hackney Diamonds back for pre order on CDJapan. Like VoodooLounge13 wrote above, I'd normally only buy the album once; if the Japanese version had a bonus track that's the one I'd go for. This time I got the cassette aswell as it's just a nice collectible. CD/Bluray for the book, Japanese edition for bonus track. Standard CD I gave as gift to one of

HD Special Live Edition sold out in CD Japan. I had it in my cart, let it go to think about it (incl postage about 45 Euro), 20 mins later went back and stock was gone - am sure they'll get more, just a question of when. The Japanese editions are so collectible with the packaging - obi strip, SHM..etc.

Just in time for Xmas, sales bump. Do I purchase it again - I have the Japanese digipack version, the standard jewel case, the cassette, and the CD/Bluray box. A fifth copy? Likely will, hard to say no - extra CD, amended booklet. There'll be another version next year maybe with DVD, the remixes..etc. Will probably purchase that too lol Thankfully the album is great, 6 or so weeks�

A real grower. Initially not one of the big hitters, but subsequent listens and I can't get enough of it! A highlight. The riff very reminiscent of Bigger Bangs 'Dangerous Beauty', the melody line definitely traces of 'Too Far Gone', but it is a marvellous track.

QuoteIdorh After more than a week of listening, I like the album HD better and better. You keep hearing different sounds and voices. Same; a week in and it is a keeper. I love the sound, the groove, the feel. Very commercial, some pop hook chorus's or bridges, but they add so much to the whole. Get Close and Tell Me Straight were the serious growers; a week ago they weren't quite

Just received the digipack from CDJapan, was surprised with the 20 page booklet, had been thinking booklet would be same as jewel case version with text and no photos. Great to have the photos in the booklet, all are contained (and more) in the CD/Bluray set book also.

A gem. The unmistakable Tumbling Dice feel at the beginning into an almost Xpensive Winos groove on the verses. The pop hook feel of the chorus a great contrast and works so well. Appreciate the track more with each listen. Wonderful stuff.

Quoteschwonek I think this track - it is soooo cool. A masterpiece. I like it a lot even as a stand alone song. The drums from Charlie are superb. Could be from the 70ies even. Love it. Same; loved it from initial listen. Stones strut in verses, cool slinky disco bassline and feel for the chorus. Addictive groove.

Cdjapan hopefully deliver by next Tuesday, really thinking on purchasing the vinyl this weekend. Pity no band photos in the standard edition booklet. The bigger 64 page booklet, many band shots? I'm sure an unboxing/unwrapping video will pop up on YouTube. Such an exciting time to be a fan of this band. Loving the album.
Forum: Tell Me

'Mess It Up' for me is one of the many highlights. Love the New Wavey/disco pulse of the chorus and bridge, as well as the vocal melody & nice descending guitar lick. Verses are a cool Stones strut, the Chic-like chorus makes it though. The drums, the rhythm; great to have Charlie's groove on this one. Plenty highlights though, am loving it.
Forum: Tell Me

Lovin' it! Mess Ir Up has such cool strut in the verses, and new wave/disco vibe on chorus and middle 8. Super groove. Live By the Sword classic rock'n'roll with fine piano. Bite my Head off; rude & raucous with a fuzz bass from a Beatle. Wonderful. Can't wait to hear in full, in sequence, this Friday.
