Sliding out of perhaps the greatest winning streak in rock history, the Stones slipped into decadence and rock star excess with Goats Head Soup, their sequel to Exile on Main St.
This is where the Stones' image began to eclipse their accomplishments, as Mick ascended to jet-setting celebrity status and Keith slowly sunk deeper into addiction, and it's possible hearing them moving in both directions on Goats Head Soup, at times in the same song.
As Jagger plays the devil (or, dances with Mr. D, as he likes to say), the sex and sleaze quotient is increased, all of it underpinned by some genuinely affecting heartbreak, highlighted by "Angie."
This may not be as groundbreaking as Exile, yet the extra layer of gloss brings out the enunciated lyrics, added strings, wah-wah guitars, explicit sex, and violence, making it all seedy and decadent - one of the Stones’ finest albums
Side 1:
Dancing With Mr. D. (4:52)
100 Years Ago (4:00)
Coming Down Again (5:55)
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) (3:27)
Angie (4:31)
Side 2:
Silver Train (4:25)
Hide Your Love (4:10)
Winter (5:30)
Can You Hear The Music (5:32)
Star Star (4:25)
LABELS: EXCELLENT
Clean, bright and unmarked labels - light/moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
A few brush marks/thumbnail marks are visible but nothing of any audible significance
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Outstanding audio with a crystal clear, deep and strong sound and my play-check at volume found little to fault - just a touch of surface on the run-ins/track division - most notable for a couple of seconds on the quiet flute intro to “Can You Hear The Music” - nothing major - “Angie” is beautifully clean - sounds great - a fine copy and a very strong all round EX
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Great condition - just a little rub, otherwise clean, sharp and unmarked
INSERTS: NEAR MINT
Both inserts are practically untouched (two copies of the info/track list insert in this pressing)
POST & PACKING:
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
