I wish I could have seen him in 69 but I was only three years old..lol I did see him in the 80s I know it's not the same as seeing him in the 60s or even the 70s. Thanks for sharing the music with us. Peace
Mazzy, thank you for showing us your awesome Stones collection. You may not have everything by them, but for a lot of us guys and gals; what you ‘do’ have is fantastic. Thank you, Sir.
Great stuff Mazzy, please never shut up because it is great to hear your anecdotes and history. Really enjoying this Rolling Stones tag by the VC collective.
Mazzy! my mouth was watering during this video, so many nice copies of these amazing records. I completely agree that Tattoo You was their last great album. Loved that album! Great collection!
Great collection Mazzy, and I agree Keith Richards riffs are legendary. Keith is my favourite Rolling Stone. Hope your doing well staying safe and drinking martinis 🍸, Cheers Snowy
I've got 2 or 3 (original) copies of all their albums. Some mono, some stereo, some still in the shrink! It's hard to believe they are 50+ years old now.
Nice. Mine is all CDs. Just posted today. Included books and DVDs too. Funny Nils Lofgren reference when the camera fell. 😄 and I'm a Virgo too. Got to be in order. Would love to see the Marquee with Brussels in more detail. Thanks for the video!
The Spanish not only censored the cover but the track listing as well. First time out, the Spanish version had "Let It Rock" replace "Sister Morphine". When it came to making the Spanish cover available again, I thought they should have left the album with 'Let it Rock" intact.
What a collection. I love the colored vinyl early albums. The mono box set is beautiful! I should have picked that one up. I really love the song Waiting On A Friend as well. You are so welcome. You deserve it and so much more!
Wow-can't believe you were at Altamont! Such an iconic bookend to the 60s. Beggar's Banquet my top Stones album as well. Always enjoy your videos (especially when martinis are involved).
This is one of my favs Mazzy, being a Stones guy, I loved it! You are pretty darn close to a completist, I’m at about 18 albums and counting, always on the hunt, loved the box sets too, and it was Pulp that lost all their money to the Stones Fun Fact: The Stones were made to play a benefit concert in my hometown by a judge after Keef got busted at the Toronto airport with drugs, oh that Keef! I didn’t go because I was too small but my older cousins went.
Great video Mazzy. I would like to give some love to their early albums, particularly The Rolling Stones Now and Out Of Our Heads. Grew up with those and though they were still playing a lot of Chuck Berry type of music, it still sounds great to me. Shout out to Jagger doing Mona, the Ellis McDaniel tune [I think}
mazzy, loved your photos. . . I remember taking my 35mm to all concerts back in the day (fyi i’m 68 - almost as old as dirt) . . . those were the less stressed out days! FWIW, I have an interesting SACD of Sympathy for the Devil (my fav Stones song) . . . It has the original stones recording, but then also has remixed versions by (1) The neptunes , (2) Fatboy Slim and (3) Full Pratt. Great listening to the original and then the three remixed interpretations. . . . And the sound quality is brilliant. . Mastered by Bob Ludwig. ok, stay well everyone!
I am more impressed with catching them when you did...They were the best in 72'ish.....very cool to have seen that entire stretch. I have a buddy who saw them in 65'. But do not think I would have tolerated that screaming, the girls that is. Did a SHOW ME YOUR STONES years ago....but one day I will be doing a GOAT's HEAD deep album review of how kick ass that album is. The actual pivotal turning point of theirs was Jumping Jack Flash which no one talks about because it was not on an a real album version. cheers Steve
Thanks for the video. I have the Mono LP box set as well still sealed, it looks to nice to open 🙈. Only discovered the Stones when I saw them at Coventry in 2018 on Charlie’s bday...2 weeks later I got tickets to see them again in Cardiff. Since then I’ve been obsessed with trying to collect their back catalogue on vinyl. Was also lucky enough to meet Charlie in 2019 whilst delivering a parcel for his wife, such a nice guy. I may have to do one of these vids ✌🏽
Wonderful collection and video, as always. I’m gradually acquiring as many Stones albums as I can afford, although I have a lot on CD. I had Black and Blue on vinyl back in the 70s and still regret doing my own personal record cull. I was delighted to find a superb copy of it on blue vinyl last year although I’m not necessarily a collector of coloured vinyl but this one seemed just ‘right’. The official video for Waiting On A Friend (which I love) starts off being filmed outside the Physical Graffiti’ building, I believe.
"Waiting On A Friend" does feature Taylor on guitar, or at least it did when first recorded. I've read that on the official released track he isn't actually there. It was recorded in Jamaica for the album that would become Goats Head Soup. They laid down about 30 tracks on those sessions.
Unless I missed, and i don’t think i did, you never mentioned Get Yer Ya’s Out expanded version with Prodigal Son, You Gotta Move, Under My Thumb, I’m Free, and Satisfaction, not too mention opening acts of BB King, and Ike And Tina Turner. As well as Goats Heads Soup enhanced version of CD #2 of unreleased stuff, and CD#3 of BRUSSELS AFFAIR!!!!!!! Sticky fingers and Exile enhanced had a bunch of unreleased, live stuff too, but i don’t have that right nows. Nice collection you have there!
Oh, man! This is right up my alley! And WOW, that Italian Sticky Fingers 2LP set - I want that, but I don’t have the Beggars Banquet you want, Mazzy, so I’ll see if I can find it. I think you nailed everything I like about the Stones in this video - screwups and all! But I gotta get ready for work so I’ll watch the last 8 minutes later. Beautiful collection!!
Norman Maslov - ahh, thanks for the clarification. I’m gonna look for that one. If I can’t find one and no one is available to swap that extra copy, would you be interested in letting it go for cash - or maybe I have something in my collection you may be interested in ...😳
twostikks1 there are some on Discogs. I think it’s from 2015 or so. If you don’t find one you like email me an offer after looking there and I might sell the sealed copy I showed. Plus media mail. I don’t sell much but I might sell for a fair price . But maybe you’ll find one closer to you. Maslov at Maslov dot com. 🤠😎🌟
Norman Maslov - I did check out Discogs, and DID find a few. Steep, but I love the cover art, and want that 2nd disc, so I think I’m gonna splurge. We’ll see what I can get, thanks, Mazzy.
Mazzy, quick update: I DID score a copy of Sticky Fingers. A few dings, but I can deal with them, the records are NM. I thank you for alerting me to its existence. Peace, man.
Hi Mazzy, I see in the mono box, at the end of that segment, the Beggars Banquet LP says "Stray Cats" under the name Rolling Stones. What is that all about?
The Stray Cats album is basically like the Past Masters stuff the Beatles released in the 80s: a collection of singles and 7” that were never part of the UK albums.
The Stones Satanic Majesties has recently been reassessed by many critics as an out of character, flawed but lost psychedelic masterpiece of the 60's, which especially with the recent remaster shows Majesties as far more psychedelic than 'Peppers' as a soundscape, but the Beatles as always were more sophisticated lyrically and melodically - loved both. The superb much maligned Jam track Sing This All Together (See What Happens) from Majesties(mainly Brian Jones conceived) influenced by Sun Ra, North African flutes/tribal drumming and The Incredible String Band's nascent World Music represented Millenial delusions that were rampant in the rarefied atmosphere of London's psychedelic district(Notting Hill Gate/Portobello Road where I lived) in 1967. With its jaded foppishness of the Antique Market, the stylish déclassé" decadence of the new counterculture and an often shallow occultism stemming from an English sensibility. London was second only to San Francisco as a proper breeding ground for psychedelic monsters. Flirtation and rumours flew ever where on lysergic wings: the alchemist Fulcanelli had been seen in Paris; an oracular child was rewriting a history of the tenth century as she remembered it from a former life; the mammoth zodiac engraved in the land at Glastonbury was a guide for flying saucers; the rusty keys, unused since the Flood, that would unlock the mysteries of the world were being rediscovered. The shining head of the god Bran buried under Tower Hill was about wake from a thousand year sleep - prefixed by Jagger asking "where's that joint" Sing This All Together (See What Happens) provides the perfect English psychedelic soundscape, navigated by Brian Jones, an iridescent ghost on the threshold of the drugs that sustained him.
I've got an {original} Spanish copy of Sticky Fingers. It has one track that was not on the U.S. version, Let It Rock appears on side two. Reissues didn't have the tune on them. Good luck finding an original!
Ha Ha Ha... Next time you dye your hair white Mazz don't use "Nair". LOL... Very nice collection Bro... Yeah Richards guitar licks are inspired,. I saw a video where Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page were being interviewed together and they all agreed Keith wrote more great guitar riffs than all the rest of them combined..... I saw that Stones Stevie Wonder tour too. The five search lights behind them freaked me.... Thanks for this Mazz...
As a proud ex Sydneysider I want to give Micks maternal grandfather Alfred Henry Scutts a shout out.A shipwright at Garden Island Naval Dockyard 1914-1946.One of his beautiful launches is displayed in Darling Harbour.A "snappy dresser & ladies man" was Alf....mmn....sounds familiar?!
The original video of Far Away Eyes has Keith mouthing the word 'fuck' instead of damn - which was his way of saying fuck in a music video I guess. Somewhere along the line someone edited that out. Used to be on RUclips but can't find it now.
That's one factor I forgot back when Fit to be Tie Dyed was doing the Beatles V Stones debate. Stones had a great golden period but Beatles far more creative, always, with the best producer- - but I forgot to acknowledge the Stones had the best riffs, as you say. Better girlfriends too. Beatles still best for out and out creativity. Even though Julia Baird prefers the Stones. There's probably a Stones sister out there who prefers Beatles. And an orphan somewhere who prefers Manfred Mann to both of them, a wayward alumni of the Greta Garbo home.
For all of you that are old enough to remember the Some Girls album cover is a parody of the windows at Woolworth's, that went out of business. Personally I don't really care for the cover or the Sticky Fingers album cover with the zipper. It was a STUPID idea! the zipper made storing the album almost impossible!
Lonnie Donegan was a British hitmaker starting in the 50's. He even had a couple American top ten hits. "Rock Island Line" and "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor"?
Norman Maslov - oh, man. I got a later box set, it doesn’t have that track, but it was cut at half speed. Wanna trade? I’ll pay for shipping. That’s my “completist OCD” inner self
I love The Stones but I love The Beatles more. The Stones thought they would assume the throne in 1970, but "that other" group left a perfect catalog and a lot of mythology that can't be touched. The Orchestration for Out of Time was lifted from the Chris Farlowe cover done in '66. Since Tattoo You is basically a comp from unreleased 70's material, maybe you're right and Mick Taylor is on Waiting On a Friend. I like the zipperless Sticky. My OG copies always had a dent in the vinyl from the damn zipper.
The only rock band that could successfully pull off a release of a 12” great disco track with a county song on the B side. Miss You and Far away eyes. Plus Some Girls had a punkish new wave hit with Shattered and a 60’s Motown number, Just my imagination.
i saw stones first time they played in so cal. in long beach ,crazy show, lt bulbs going off and girls screaming, dick and dee dee on the bill, during the yayas tour they did back to back shows at the forum LA you went in the first show in early evening ,when wecame out next morning the sun was about to come up, all shows had started late, also terry reed,ike and tina turner also on show.i also went to altimont arrived at dawn and of the shows ive seen altimont looms largest ,it was like no other day, cold damp . was not a happy vibe day---rolling stones were god heads at that time,,i was also at the whiskey a go go when they werte staying and danced next to mick, that was cool , nobody bothered them there keith was there also hanging with friends , not me hahaha. one last thing was that mick taylor was also a guitarist in john mayalls band,i heard that the stones wanted mick ,i never saw that working replacing brian jones,well i was wrong disproving what my friends say at times im a know it all,hahaha im not. nice video thanks,stay safe.
Hi Mazzy Any chance I can get one of those Goat’s Head Soup inners, my copy is without. Happy to take the flimsy reissue one. Will pay postage to the UK
Hello Carol. This had gone into my spam folder email me at maslov at maslov dot com with your address and I will figure out what postage to the UK is now. It would ship flat in a record box....
The comparing Stones to Beatles is more superficial than real. The fact is the Rolling Stones longevity is amazing and the Beatles short comings on everything the Stones stood for and performed is again, overwhelming in favour of the Stones brilliant career ! If it were not for Paul McCartney's brilliant career in keeping the Beatles alive and well, the Rolling Stones would be the ultimate favorite !! I like your selections of albums. I like the Hexagon Stones greatest hits and their greatest hits are equal to the Beatles top hit compilations..both bands did amazing songs it is a coin toss there !! I do like Some Girls abum. Exile on Main Street..I cannot play that entirely through..some pathetic songs. I like the mid sixties songs like Paint it Black and Ruby Tuesday..very class Stones..Jumping Jack Flash my ultimate favorite as a teenager..I just loved that one..could have played it 10,000 times !!! Splendid albums shown !!
Yes folks have been correcting me. I always confuse Blur and the Verve for some reason and the correct band eluded me in the moment. Lots of folks are fixing that here. 🤠😎🥁
Pretty Green Vinyl Guy but I need the corrections when I say the wrong band in this case. I should start adding caption overlays when I do this maybe. Thank you Edwin. ✌🏻
Fun video - thanks - the Mick Taylor "Santana-ish" song you're thinking of I believe is "Time Waits for No One" off It's Only Rock 'n' Roll. One of my favorite all time songs...
Ist time l have seen the Spanish copy of Sticky Fingers on You tube videos. Always wished they hadn't replaced Sister M. with Let it Rock, as itt sounds so out of place. Better would have been to not to replace it at all. Did you ever manage to trade for a copy of import fold out of Beggers Banquet? Cheers.
As a Stones aficionado who first saw them play in the mid-60's, I thought Blue and Lonesome was a huge disappointment, pedestrian and plodding. It would have been better to have had Mick Taylor playing instead of Wood, a journey man at best and Clapton, who although technically gifted was/is a extremely dull guitar player when you compare him to Hendrix, Beck or Taylor. One only has to listen to Taylor's playing on the Stones greatest live album - yes even better than Ya Ya's - The Brussels Affair. The Rolling Stones Midnight Rambler Live - Forest National (Brussels, Belgium) Oct 17, 1973. - The sublime instrumental twin guitar break two minutes into Midnight Rambler, is one of the greatest in rock 'n' roll history. Complimented by Keith Richards monstrous, burn your house down rhythm guitar slashes, Mick Taylor enters serious neo-psychedelic blues - third eye - guitar territory. On this majestic, swamp voodoo, meets Brecht of a song, he proves he was one of the greatest most inspired guitar players of the 60's/70's. For five short years the Stones, with Taylor proved that they truly were the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world. I couldn't agree with you more Mazzy the post Taylor Black and Blue album - against all expectations - is a superb, underrated piece of work; that runs the spectrum of blues rock(Crazy Mama, Hand of Fate), funk(Hot Stuff, Hey Negrita), jazz (the divine Melody), reggae(Cherry oh Baby), and the wonderful on the road burnout balladry of Memory Motel, that is comparable to Moonlight Mile and Winter. Also up for revaluation is Goat's Head Soup which at the time was seen as an anti climax to Exiles, but on reflection was a sublime post counterculture come down album. Another departure from the critical opinion surrounding the Stones 70's output is Some Girls - which was seen as a commercial and critical return to form - which with the exception of Beast of Burden in my view was a mediocre album. As for Voodoo Lounge and Bigger Bang, two exceptionally great undervalued albums, especially Bigger Bang were a true return to form, but by that time the wrongly held view that the Stones hadn't made a decent album since Exiles had become an entrenched self fulfilling orthodoxy among critics. So much so, that had the Stones released Beggars, Let It Bleed or Sticky Fingers in the late 70's or 80's these classics would have been dismissed by the critics. Anyway this old gal - child of the 60's - still gets a rush of blood to her ageing booty when I hear the opening riff to the Stones version of Don Raye's boogie-woogie classic 'Down the Road a Piece' from their second album, I feel the urge to light a Jazz cigarette, sip some brandy and sashay around the dining room table. Much to the disapproval of my three grown up daughters all of whom are in their words "Stones girls."
The Stones Satanic Majesties has been reassessed by many critics as an out of character, flawed but lost psychedelic masterpiece of the 60's, which especially with the recent remaster shows Majesties as far more psychedelic than 'Peppers' as a soundscape, but the Beatles as always were more sophisticated lyrically and melodically - loved both.

Thank you for your comments. Yeah a great band and I have followed them since the very beginning although not so deep as you seem to be. I live reading comments like this. The knowledge and feelings other have about these wonderful artists. Showing a bunch of records like this can barely scrape the surface in thirty or so minutes. But they’ve been a part of my life for over fifty years as well. Be well.

Mick Taylors playing on"time waits for no one"is stunning. Great guitarist.
So much music. I try to keep all the albums in my head 😎
Yes, that's the one that sounds like Santana, great solo at the end.
@@MarkWaldVinylCrush Yes mark,such fluid guitar playing and he makes it sound effortless. A true great!
@@robertlonergan9401 definitely a great guitarist
Wow Norman a wonderful collection. Got rid of all my records in the 80’s and still kicking myself. Very slowly replacing my favourites.
I was 13 when I saw the stones in 1969 at the Chicago amphitheatre. Tickets were $8.
Black and Blue is for me the best Stones Album and Melody my Favoriten Song! Great Video🎶🎶
I wish I could have seen him in 69 but I was only three years old..lol I did see him in the 80s I know it's not the same as seeing him in the 60s or even the 70s. Thanks for sharing the music with us. Peace
Hey Mazzy. Terrific collection, cool riffs, interesting discussion and great stories. Thanks a lot. Cheers.
Possibly the greatest r&r band of all time!
Yep, Stripped came out on vinyl. It was The Verve who ripped of the orchestration arrangement of The Last Time as recorded by Andrew Loog-Oldham.
Mazzy, thank you for showing us your awesome Stones collection. You may not have everything by them, but for a lot of us guys and gals; what you ‘do’ have is fantastic. Thank you, Sir.
Great stuff Mazzy, please never shut up because it is great to hear your anecdotes and history.

Hi Mazzy...love love love that you did needle drops ! Also love your groovy speakers :)
Great collection, Mazzy.
The photos are amazing Mazzy, Cheers Snowy
Hi Mazzy, As a big Stones fan I really enjoyed this video. Mick Taylor era is my favorite, like many of us. Thank you.
Hi Mazzy, great Stones collection. Thanks for showing. I agree in the Tattoo You, last great Stones album. Take care😀
Let It Bleed, Beggar's Banquet, Exile on Main Street, and Sticky Fingers. That's four in a row.
Great collection Mazzy, and I agree Keith Richards riffs are legendary. Keith is my favourite Rolling Stone. Hope your doing well staying safe and drinking martinis 🍸, Cheers Snowy
I've got 2 or 3 (original) copies of all their albums.
Some mono, some stereo, some still in the shrink!
It's hard to believe they are 50+ years old now.
Altamont fuck thas something to tell the grandkids
Nice. Mine is all CDs. Just posted today. Included books and DVDs too. Funny Nils Lofgren reference when the camera fell. 😄 and I'm a Virgo too. Got to be in order.

A very good point regarding Jumping Jack Flash. I’ve long thought the same. In a sense it set their trajectory for most everything afterward.

A clean Decca/Mono copy of Beggars Banquet is about $200 ... it is the best pressing, and my favorite Stones album as well!

I think you nailed everything I like about the Stones in this video - screwups and all! But I gotta get ready for work so I’ll watch the last 8 minutes later. Beautiful collection!!
My mistake was that Beggars was from Spain and not Italy. I love when commenters set me straight as I don't alway get it right off the cuff....

Nice collection norm
I appreciate your comments and insights on vinyl. What Rolling Stones Box Set would you recommend besides the Mono Box?
I've got an {original} Spanish copy of Sticky Fingers. It has one track that was not on the U.S. version, Let It Rock appears on side two. Reissues didn't have the tune on them. Good luck finding an original!

The last time string arrangement was sampled on bittersweet synthony by the verve
Can't you hear me knocking is the one where Mick Taylor pulls a Santana
The Stones are now out of my price range. Glad I saw them when I did (70's & 80's). Shame live Rock 'N" Roll is only for rich folks these days.
Great video do you have the compilation box set called Grrrr with the Ape on the cover it is fantastic
The fingers cover is from Spain.
As a proud ex Sydneysider I want to give Micks maternal grandfather Alfred Henry Scutts a shout out.A shipwright at Garden Island Naval Dockyard 1914-1946.One of his beautiful launches is displayed in Darling Harbour.A "snappy dresser & ladies man" was Alf....mmn....sounds familiar?!
The original video of Far Away Eyes has Keith mouthing the word 'fuck' instead of damn - which was his way of saying fuck in a music video I guess. Somewhere along the line someone edited that out. Used to be on RUclips but can't find it now.
That's one factor I forgot back when Fit to be Tie Dyed was doing the Beatles V Stones debate. Stones had a great golden period but Beatles far more creative, always, with the best producer- - but I forgot to acknowledge the Stones had the best riffs, as you say. Better girlfriends too. Beatles still best for out and out creativity. Even though Julia Baird prefers the Stones. There's probably a Stones sister out there who prefers Beatles. And an orphan somewhere who prefers Manfred Mann to both of them, a wayward alumni of the Greta Garbo home.
Stripped was indeed recorded in France and available on vinyl, I have it myself and you are right, great!
OMG.. you really have a few Rolling Stones records... how are those early 2000 Boxsets soundwise?
The song you're thinking of at 34:45 is "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by the Verve, based on "The Last Time". Changing topic, no Roxy Music on CD?
Yes thank you !!!!!! And yes I have all Roxy LPs and CDs. The CD box rests on the top of all these shelves 😎
For all of you that are old enough to
remember the Some Girls album cover
is a parody of the windows at Woolworth's,
that went out of business. Personally I don't
really care for the cover or the Sticky Fingers
album cover with the zipper. It was a STUPID
idea! the zipper made storing the album almost
impossible!
Lonnie Donegan was a British hitmaker starting in the 50's. He even had a couple American top ten hits. "Rock Island Line" and "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor"?
I’ve discussed Lonnie in several videos especially after reading Billy Brags book on Skiffle
Do you have
IT ISN'T ROCK 'N' ROLL BUT I LIKE IT?
Yes
Keith Don't Go - like the Nils Lofgren reference too
I wondered if anyone would get that 🎸
One more thing! Check Voodoo Lounge - does it have “Mean Disposition”? In the 2nd box set??
Yes it does 🌸
Norman Maslov - oh, man. I got a later box set, it doesn’t have that track, but it was cut at half speed. Wanna trade? I’ll pay for shipping. That’s my “completist OCD” inner self
I love The Stones but I love The Beatles more. The Stones thought they would assume the throne in 1970, but "that other" group left a perfect catalog and a lot of mythology that can't be touched. The Orchestration for Out of Time was lifted from the Chris Farlowe cover done in '66. Since Tattoo You is basically a comp from unreleased 70's material, maybe you're right and Mick Taylor is on Waiting On a Friend. I like the zipperless Sticky. My OG copies always had a dent in the vinyl from the damn zipper.
The only rock band that could successfully pull off a release of a 12” great disco track with a county song on the B side. Miss You and Far away eyes. Plus Some Girls had a punkish new wave hit with Shattered and a 60’s Motown number, Just my imagination.
How do you get away with it? I posted the intro to Honky Tonk Woman on my 1st upload of my "More Cowbell" show, and it got instantly blocked!
HELP can you please do a show on Solo Beatles joint ventures, Paul McCartney the Fireman albums. Keen to learn about them.
ruclips.net/video/Pe90h_oFdwY/видео.html. More to come in the future. Look at my Beatles playlist ✌🏽
That alternate Sticky Fingers cover is awesome! I don't want to look at some dude's crotch either. Maybe they were marketing to girls.
i saw stones first time they played in so cal. in long beach ,crazy show, lt bulbs going off and girls screaming, dick and dee dee on the bill, during the yayas tour they did back to back shows at the forum LA you went in the first show in early evening ,when wecame out next morning the sun was about to come up, all shows had started late, also terry reed,ike and tina turner also on show.i also went to altimont arrived at dawn and of the shows ive seen altimont looms largest ,it was like no other day, cold damp . was not a happy vibe day---rolling stones were god heads at that time,,i was also at the whiskey a go go when they werte staying and danced next to mick, that was cool , nobody bothered them there keith was there also hanging with friends , not me hahaha. one last thing was that mick taylor was also a guitarist in john mayalls band,i heard that the stones wanted mick ,i never saw that working replacing brian jones,well i was wrong disproving what my friends say at times im a know it all,hahaha im not. nice video thanks,stay safe.
That 69' tour was a stacked one. The Turners, Terry Reid, and the stones all in one night
Hi Mazzy
Any chance I can get one of those Goat’s Head Soup inners, my copy is without. Happy to take the flimsy reissue one. Will pay postage to the UK
Hi Norman
Did you get my message about the goats head soup insert? If it's not possible please let me know so I can look elsewhere.
Thanks
carol.x
Hello Carol. This had gone into my spam folder email me at maslov at maslov dot com with your address and I will figure out what postage to the UK is now. It would ship flat in a record box....
Norman Maslov
Hi, just sent an email to you. Many thanks for responding.
12:27 Beatles ❤ (by default think about it)
The comparing Stones to Beatles is more superficial than real. The fact is the Rolling Stones longevity is amazing and the Beatles short comings on everything the Stones stood for and performed is again, overwhelming in favour of the Stones brilliant career ! If it were not for Paul McCartney's brilliant career in keeping the Beatles alive and well, the Rolling Stones would be the ultimate favorite !! I like your selections of albums. I like the Hexagon Stones greatest hits and their greatest hits are equal to the Beatles top hit compilations..both bands did amazing songs it is a coin toss there !! I do like Some Girls abum. Exile on Main Street..I cannot play that entirely through..some pathetic songs. I like the mid sixties songs like Paint it Black and Ruby Tuesday..very class Stones..Jumping Jack Flash my ultimate favorite as a teenager..I just loved that one..could have played it 10,000 times !!! Splendid albums shown !!
How about bootlegs, vinyl or CD?
No longer have any. ThTs for someone else to do. Would love to see one.
I think you the song is Bittersweet Symphony done by the Verve.
Yes folks have been correcting me. I always confuse Blur and the Verve for some reason and the correct band eluded me in the moment. Lots of folks are fixing that here. 🤠😎🥁
@@mazzysmusic I didn't feel like I was correcting you, just adding a little side note.
Pretty Green Vinyl Guy but I need the corrections when I say the wrong band in this case. I should start adding caption overlays when I do this maybe. Thank you Edwin. ✌🏻
I actually prefer the US Aftermath cover.
Love your channel. The Sticky Fingers alternate cover was for the Spanish market as they were under General Franco’s rule at the time.
Thank you for the correction. Wrong country 🤓😘🥺
Fun video - thanks - the Mick Taylor "Santana-ish" song you're thinking of I believe is "Time Waits for No One" off It's Only Rock 'n' Roll. One of my favorite all time songs...
You are correct. Thank you.
Ist time l have seen the Spanish copy of Sticky Fingers on You tube videos. Always wished they hadn't replaced Sister M. with
Let it Rock, as itt sounds so out of place. Better would have been to not to replace it at all. Did you ever manage to trade for
a copy of import fold out of Beggers Banquet? Cheers.
As a Stones aficionado who first saw them play in the mid-60's, I thought Blue and Lonesome was a huge disappointment, pedestrian and plodding. It would have been better to have had Mick Taylor playing instead of Wood, a journey man at best and Clapton, who although technically gifted was/is a extremely dull guitar player when you compare him to Hendrix, Beck or Taylor. One only has to listen to Taylor's playing on the Stones greatest live album - yes even better than Ya Ya's - The Brussels Affair. The Rolling Stones Midnight Rambler Live - Forest National (Brussels, Belgium) Oct 17, 1973. - The sublime instrumental twin guitar break two minutes into Midnight Rambler, is one of the greatest in rock 'n' roll history. Complimented by Keith Richards monstrous, burn your house down rhythm guitar slashes, Mick Taylor enters serious neo-psychedelic blues - third eye - guitar territory. On this majestic, swamp voodoo, meets Brecht of a song, he proves he was one of the greatest most inspired guitar players of the 60's/70's. For five short years the Stones, with Taylor proved that they truly were the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world.
I couldn't agree with you more Mazzy the post Taylor Black and Blue album - against all expectations - is a superb, underrated piece of work; that runs the spectrum of blues rock(Crazy Mama, Hand of Fate), funk(Hot Stuff, Hey Negrita), jazz (the divine Melody), reggae(Cherry oh Baby), and the wonderful on the road burnout balladry of Memory Motel, that is comparable to Moonlight Mile and Winter.
Also up for revaluation is Goat's Head Soup which at the time was seen as an anti climax to Exiles, but on reflection was a sublime post counterculture come down album.
Another departure from the critical opinion surrounding the Stones 70's output is Some Girls - which was seen as a commercial and critical return to form - which with the exception of Beast of Burden in my view was a mediocre album.
As for Voodoo Lounge and Bigger Bang, two exceptionally great undervalued albums, especially Bigger Bang were a true return to form, but by that time the wrongly held view that the Stones hadn't made a decent album since Exiles had become an entrenched self fulfilling orthodoxy among critics. So much so, that had the Stones released Beggars, Let It Bleed or Sticky Fingers in the late 70's or 80's these classics would have been dismissed by the critics.
Anyway this old gal - child of the 60's - still gets a rush of blood to her ageing booty when I hear the opening riff to the Stones version of Don Raye's boogie-woogie classic 'Down the Road a Piece' from their second album, I feel the urge to light a Jazz cigarette, sip some brandy and sashay around the dining room table. Much to the disapproval of my three grown up daughters all of whom are in their words "Stones girls."
The Stones Satanic Majesties has been reassessed by many critics as an out of character, flawed but lost psychedelic masterpiece of the 60's, which especially with the recent remaster shows Majesties as far more psychedelic than 'Peppers' as a soundscape, but the Beatles as always were more sophisticated lyrically and melodically - loved both.
The superb much maligned Jam track Sing This All Together (See What Happens) from Majesties(mainly Brian Jones conceived) influenced by Sun Ra, North African flutes & drumming and The Incredible String Band's nascent World Music represented Millenial delusions that were rampant in the rarefied atmosphere of London's psychedelic district(Notting Hill Gate/Portobello Road) in 1967. With its jaded foppishness of the Antique Market, the stylish déclassé" decadence of the new counterculture and an often shallow occultism stemming from an English sensibility. London was second only to San Francisco as a proper breeding ground for psychedelic monsters. Flirtation and rumours flew ever where on lysergic wings: the alchemist Fulcanelli had been seen in Paris; an oracular child was rewriting a history of the tenth century as she remembered it from a former life; the mammoth zodiac engraved in the land at Glastonbury was a guide for flying saucers; the rusty keys, unused since the Flood, that would unlock the mysteries of the world were being rediscovered. The shining head of the god Bran buried under Tower Hill was about wake from a thousand year sleep - prefixed by Jagger asking "where's that joint" Sing This All Together (See What Happens) provides the perfect English psychedelic soundscape, navigated by Brian Jones, an iridescent ghost on the threshold of the drugs that sustained him.
Thank you for your comments. Yeah a great band and I have followed them since the very beginning although not so deep as you seem to be. I live reading comments like this. The knowledge and feelings other have about these wonderful artists. Showing a bunch of records like this can barely scrape the surface in thirty or so minutes. But they’ve been a part of my life for over fifty years as well. Be well.
It's only rock and roll and black and blue are 2 underrated albums from the stones
If you still haven’t found anyone to trade, I have what you’re looking for.
Greatest rock band in the world in 1970? The Who might like a word here...
