Black And Blue

I have been listening to this album for more than 20 years, first on tape (from LP), then on a CD-copy and now it was time to contribute to Mick and Keith's pension plan and buy the official CD, that is the remastered version. Frankly, I value vinyl over CD and I can't hear the difference between the old Dolby recording on good old TDK SA-X and this CD. Not that it matters. There are only 8 songs on the album, but quality rules over quantity. Some Girls might have been in the spot light recently, but every single piece on this album is worth buying. Hot Stuff has a touch of disco, but it's rougher. Hand Of Fate is the unknown classic with a solo by Wayne Perkins that should have merited more contributions. Cherry oh Baby is rasta Keith at his best. Unpolished, simple and pure. Memory Hotel has great lyrics. Mick's voice was great before he needed a vocal coach. No crooning, just singing. The guitars on Hey Negrita are something. Steaming, hurling, leading the rhythm section. Mick keeps on grumbling. I love it. Melody is jazzy tune where the guitars are left behind. No need.Fool to cry, classic Stones ballad. Crazy mama: not my favourite, but it doesn't matter, this album is in my top 10.

This is a classic stones album. Great tracks .

Everything is fine.

This album gets dumped on a lot. I initially refrained from buying it due to the general consensus this album is poor. Then I read from a Stones fan how, don't believe those people, it IS a good album and isn't as bad as made out. I enjoyed it, a lot actually. Some great tracks hear, some funk going on. Only track I don't care for is Melody. I'm glad I have added this to my growing Stones collection.

Bought as a present so I can't comment on the content. Delivery was a few days later than predicted, but the price was the best I could find and the packaging was good.

very good

Great album👍

This album is essential listening for all stones fans very consistent album.

All good

Je n'avais plus le vinyle acheté à sa sortie comme tant d'autres et du coup je suis heureux de l'avoir retrouvé en CD.

Alles gut gelaufen.

Génial

Recently i have been listening to this album and is really good, i dont know why is not famous or recognized by the fans! Their musical expansion of this one is really good and dont disappoints, it have the ROLLING STONES style but i think people should know more.... The vinyl record came good, a beautiful cover gatefold! And a good sound, it was so good that in "cherry oh baby" in one part sounds drums or something like that and i confused them as a pops o clicks in the vinyl.... YEAH, THAT QUALITY... if you like this album, buy it!
