Rolling Stones' "Emotional Rescue" - C or D?

yes, you could be mine
tonight and every night
I will be your knight in shining armour
coming to your emotional rrrrrrescue

They perfected Charlie's drum sound on those two albums. (I remember Mick & Keef giving the engineer Chris Kimsey buckets of credit.)

Totally. Kimsey also got a great sound out of the three-pronged guitar attack.

there's a fun edit of this by one of the in flagranti dudes; cuts in bits of the piano from 'she's a rainbow' and stuff.

i've still never worked out the accent mick's trying to affect at the end there. i know nothing else from the album other than 'she's so cold'.

Aside from those two dynamite singles, the rest of the disc was pretty unmemorable. Classic music video, too, BTW.

heard the edit for the first time last night--awesome!!

you will be mine, you will be mine, you will be mine all mine ...
you will be mine, you will be mine, you will be mine all mine ...

Jagger could so be Eric Burdon doing that coda - all he needed to do was self-consciously namecheck some revered black performer, something Burdon was wont to do. Like maybe Bob Marley, or Kurtis Blow if he were really on top of things.

love this record! The singles, "Dance pt 1" "Let Me Go" and one of Keith's finest moments ("All About You") are all awesome. Actually, take away the rote blooze "Down in a Hole" and the Indian Girl silliness (which really isn't that bad...) and it's pretty top shelf all around. I'll take it over B&B or GHS any day.

Praise for the In Flagranti edit seconded- here's a zshare if you haven't heard it.

thx!

REVIVE.

Some more love for this album.

Agree that this is better than Some Girls. Loose, fun album with good production that doesn't take itself very seriously.

nice work alex!

I like the suggestion in that article that "All About You" is really about Mick: I'd always assumed it was about Anita, or some other girl, but, whomever it's about, it's up there with "You Got The Silver" as Keith's finest ballad with the Stones.

ha I thought that Keith's ballads were all about Mick.

Dance pt. 1 is so fucking great

That moment when the girlie chorus comes in on "Where The Boys Go"=one of the fun-ist and funniest moments in their catalogue.

Also this (re: title track):

I was actually thinking about starting a thread called "Lines in songs that should get applause in concerts," because every time I hear the line "I was dreaming last night..." (the point where Mick reverts to his normal voice too), I have to resist the urge to put my hands together and applaud. It's a great moment.

otm. i've always loved this song and that moment in particular. i also love when they doubletrack the falsetto voice with his normal voice. disco stones in general are just great. for a while beast of burden was my favorite song by them, and i am a dude who had exile on main street in his car stereo for an entire summer.

This song is the 5 AM of their career. On the way home vaguely, just before sunrise and sobriety and the 80s

not that this debate is worth having anymore but i love the stones so much more than the beatles. i think it's great that they refused to bow out gracefully and preserve their myth, but kept on trucking well past the point where it became embarrassing to people and (from what i gather) motivated totally by profit because jagger and richards can't stand each other. they stayed true to their spirit, which was sleaziness, and for some reason that i don't quite understand this makes them great and i probably have more fun listening to them than any other band.

"Emotional Rescue" fully justifies the band's lingering on into the 80s all by itself.

yup, this (^^^^^^^^^^^^^^), even tho i'm no fan of the band.

man I hate this song

haha. why?

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this song

to me, emotional rescue, angie, and under my thumb stand high above any other songs by this band.

a steaming pile of shite

Love this album, hate this song.

"Summer Romance," "Where The Boys Go," "Dance Pt. 1," "Send It to Me," "She's So Cold" -- all terrific.

I'm a serious man, I got serious lusts

best song ever

otm

played the hell out of this album the past week, so great. jagger in esp great form.

great record. i still think it's better than all that boring shit they did after Exile and before Some Girls

there's so many bands that cops moves from the earlier peak stones periods - that initial run when they were brian's band and then beggars thru exile - i wish there were more bands that just blatantly ripped off that some girls thru tattoo you run. maybe you have to have been the stones for fifteen years to pull it off.

Dud. Their weakest '70s record, and a huge dip in quality in comparison to the albums immediately before and after.

i wish there were more bands that just blatantly ripped off that some girls thru tattoo you run. maybe you have to have been the stones for fifteen years to pull it off.

love Rob Sheffield's name for this 1978-1983 period: the Mall Rat Years

i wish there were more bands that just blatantly ripped off that some girls thru tattoo you run
