THIS HANDSOME four-disc set would look classy on the stuffiest of record shelves--I keep mine next to my Concert for Bangladesh, the bright orange sets off the rich navy nicely. The producers have thoughtfully included a slick album of color photos from the concert. The back cover contains a tasteful reproduction of Picasso's Three Musicians...
...Stones have always been more of an album-oriented band--the classic Exile on Main Street, probably their finest, produced only one top twenty hit ("Tumbling Dice") from eighteen songs. And although "Honky Tonk Women" remains the prototype for a rock'n'roll 45, singles for the Stones have always been throwaways...
...Some Girls languishing on tape somewhere, facing an unfamiliar time urgency (Billy Wyman is 42 and Keith Moon is dead) and a new solo ambition on Richards' part, the Stones have turned to the single as a way to introduce fresh music without the agony of launching an album piggyback on Some Girls. More can probably be expected in the new year...
...anonymous Sugar Blue, a rejuvenated Mick Jagger, and an astounding Charlie Watts, the once and future King of the Skins. Characterized by the savage disco backbeat that marked the Some Girls dancing cuts and a tongue-in-cheek Motown chorus, the song also echoes the Goat's Head Soup album, particularly "Dancing with Mr. D." The theme, however, is unmistakably Some Girls--Bianca in particular...
Better left off the album, but a good B side, a good tune...
