Are the rolling stones sh*t?

Yep, Let it Bleed is superb. My first copy of that was mono.
I know this is a bit trainspottery but I’ve loved this LP since I bought a copy at a church fete when I was 9 years old. It was in a “Beggars Banquet” sleeve but what an album. A mate of mine knew this and, when his dad died of cancer, he gave me his dad’s copy which I treasure as his old man was a decent fella. So, here it is in its mono glory and sadly no poster but still sounding great 😎

Never been sure about midnight rambler
 
Couldn’t agree more about Midnight Rambler, Gimme Shelter though…still stunning to these ears.

Just picked up a copy of Spanish Tony’s book from the local Sue Ryder, probably a lot of bs in there, but did make me chuckle, no wonder Keith and Mick weren’t happy :D
 

The decision is, yes, they are dreadful. Let’s lock this thread pls
In context, when told by Decca that they owed them a single, they decided to record the most unplayable track possible so it’s deliberately transgressive in a “fuck you” sort of way to the company. Not much worse than all the swastikas doing the rounds during punk.
 
Watched an old Top of the Pops on BBC4 yesterday and Bill Wyman was on it with a solo effort, singing these immortal lyrics:

We could go on the hovercraft
Across the water
They'll think I'm your dad
And you're my daughter
“Wyman originally wrote the song for Ian Dury. However, finding himself unable to interest Dury or any other artist in it, he reluctantly recorded the song himself”


He was clearly not reluctant enough.
