Album DescriptionĪfter the hit Start Me Up which always plays very well in 80,000-seater stadiums, some excellent and rather edgy songs-not really Richards' thing-such as Hang Fire or Neighbours show that there is still plenty of life left in the old dogs yet! And as yet another reminder that the real source of the Stones' music is the blues, we are treated to an excellent, lively rendition of Black Limousine.

Finally, on Waiting on a Friend, they bring on board a giant of jazz, the saxophonist Sonny Rollins, who puts out an impeccably powerful solo with Caribbean flavours (he is also present on Neighbours and Slave)… The 40th anniversary edition of Tattoo You enjoys Deluxe Edition treatment with a new mix, rarities like covers of the Chi-Lites ( Troubles a' Comin), Jimmy Reed's Shame Shame Shame and Dobie Gray's Drift Away, not to mention a hearty live performance recorded in London's Wembley Stadium in 1982.
In terms of the slower numbers, the soulful Top is pretty steamy, and Heaven sees Jagger's spirited falsetto reach new heights. A very rock'n'roll side A, a B side with more of a focus on ballads, and everywhere Mick and Keith's flawless expertise.Īfter the hit Start Me Up which always plays very well in 80,000-seater stadiums, some excellent and rather edgy songs-not really Richards' thing-such as Hang Fire or Neighbours show that there is still plenty of life left in the old dogs yet!

Indeed: for many fans Tattoo You would be the last truly good Rolling Stones record. While all this did not bode well, the result was surprisingly miraculous. That album was to be Tattoo You, in fact a bit of a counterfeit "new" record because as it was made up of scraps from the previous albums, and even old demos and embryos of songs that were never finalized. But since touring is what keeps the cash register ringing, it was time to put together an album and take it around the world. Most of all, Mick and Keith were grating on each other more and more. After an incredible run with Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, the Stones were careening between highs ( Goat's Head Soup, Some Girls) and lows, not to mention some real deep dips ( Black and Blue, Emotional Rescue). Let's set the scene: Tattoo You was released in August 1981.
