1971 Rolling Stones CD, reissued.This was a good Stones record, which contained some good material, which includes: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses and Bitch, to name a few.
Not what it was reported to be
This item was being sold as such. Recently searched for an original Sticky Fingers, zipper cover, vinyl LP. In reality it was a later sold "Original Masters Recording" version of the same LP, not the original zipper cover album. This version has an embossed zipper on the outer sleeve NOT the original working zipper. Album also DID NOT have the inside sleeve which had the cotton briefs photo. Cover also had more wear than suggested, LP itself however IS in excellent condition. Overall was HUGELY disappointed with the product. What it was suggested to be with regard to what it actually was, and especially for the price paid. Sticky Fingers (Zipper Cover).
The Epitome of Rock & Roll
My teacher concurred that these surly Elvis's raunchy music was the pinnacle of their art. I remember writing a review of this album back in '75 when I was in 11th grade in Memphis, TN. This record could be used as a baseline against which all other rock albums could be measured. Excellent cover too. Olen Batchelor - Memphis.
I LOVE ROCK N ROLL!!!!
this album is incredible!! i love it!!! this is real rock n roll folks, the absolute best of the best!!! the stones are rock gods!!!.
Heavy Handed Masterpiece
Every song drips with drug and sex references, from the opening chords of "Brown Sugar" to the closer "Moonlight Mile". This is one of the classic Stones releases, the first one with Mick Taylor. In between, session players like Billy Preston add to the newly rejuvenated sound with Taylor. "Sway" is a good song, but I do not feel is one of the better tunes on this disk. The Richards classic, "Wild Horses" is a stellar tale of pain and drug addicted love. "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is a true rocker, with an extended jam at the end that is a marvelous mix of guitars, bass, keys, drums and sax. "You Gotta Move" is a take on an old blues number, with chemical inspiration. What was the second side opens with "Bitch" a classic Jagger work with great yacking horns throughtout and masterfully tight drumming by Charlie Watts. "I Got the Blues" is self explanitory, as is "Sister Morphine" a drug tale with an ironic twist that Marianne Faithfull claims to have had stolen by Richards. "Dead Flowers" is a comic take on wedding bell blues, with a country feel that parodies the FTD Florist tag line of the day. In all, this is one of the best Stones releases of the Mick Taylor period. .
