Rolling Stones recommendation questions Tue, 22 April 2008 05:04 Go to next message

Hey people,

I saw the Shine a Light concert movie two weekends ago and liked it so much that we bought the soundtrack DCD (basically the live album). Before this, my only Stones purchases was the Mick/Bowie Dancing in the Street 7" and the Mick Jagger 7" from 1985 and then in 1989 I bought a DCD of their hits at Price Club (now Costco) that had 90 minutes of songs on two CDs. Then in 2002 I received a DCD of their Union Hall (Philly) concert that a guy taped using Schoeps ($3000 mics), it was a really great recording.

Anyway my favorite Stones songs before seeing Shine a Light were She's a Rainbow, Honky Tonk Women, Start Me Up, and Under my Thumb, plus the obligatory hits. I haven't heard She's a Rainbow since 1991 or so but it's still my favorite song of theirs.

But having seen Shine a Light, I've given these songs two or three listens (but no more than 3) and I really like these:

You got the Silver
Connection
Tumbling Dice
Little T&A

I'm a bit disturbed that 3 of these are Keith vocal songs, because he's so creep, although he does smoke Marlboro Reds which is always a good thing (Sonic Boom/Spectrum also smokes them).

So my question for my fellow stockings lovers (or as Alaya says, my stocking friends) - based on the songs I mention above, which 2-3 albums should I be buying of theirs? And I'm not talking compilations, but regular studio albums, albeit on CD and not vinyl. Should I be getting just the basic album or the reissue repackage with extra track and tacky badge (that's for Dirk). Does the pressing matter or do I need the Japanese mono CD (don't laugh, because in 1990 I bought the Pet Sounds on Japanese mono CD and it really is better than the studio version CD that came out later that year).

I assume that some people here are fans...

Mike

It's all a matter of personal taste, of course, but my favourite Stones albums are, in order of preference,
'Let It Bleed' and 'Aftermath'.

Both are studio cuts from the 60's.

I'm unsure of the quality of the current CD's of these two albums - I bought 'Let it Bleed' on CD about 10 years ago, and it sounds fine to me [although I'm no connoisseur].

The later Stones stuff is 'OK', and I'm looking forward to seeing the new film, too.

1971's 'Sticky Fingers' also gets good reviews, although I haven't got it.
