Okay, so while this period of the Stones might not be everyone's favourite, but the very best of the material from this time still makes me think "fuck, I love the Stones" ... which is something I can't say of, for example, the Undercover era or Bridges to Babylon ...

haha, I was sorta half-worried my post would've been a little too much for the thread, glad to see it was well received. Here's a link:

Also, if you haven't seen it, here's a rough sketch of the originally proposed cover by Hipgnosis:

The Daltrey cover was designed by Graham Hughes, Roger's cousin. Dunno if he worked for/with Hipgnosis. Hughes also designed/photographed the Quadrophenia and Odds and Sods covers.

Must dig out Goats Head Soup later for a listen. One of their finest LP's.

They took Bill off the cover of Black & Blue for this tee.

I remember the kerfuffle around the ad for Black and Blue that featured a bound young woman who was . . . well, black and blue.

I really dig "Hand of Fate." Some nice, if basic, back and forth by Ron and Keith in that one.
