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 seem trippily decadent

Dancing With Mr. D. (4:52)

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, bright and unmarked labels - no spindle traces on Side One and possibly one indecisive trace o Side Two
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine are practically unmarked and shine like-new
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Outstanding audio delivery throughout - crystal clear, sharp and strong and my play-check at volume found practically nothing to fault - one or two low-level ticks noted but I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins - nothing really - plays beautifully
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from some sun bleaching to the spine, a touch of storage wear to the bottom edge and some staining in the bottom spine corner (please see close-up photographs) the thick card gatefold is sharp and fresh
INSERTS: NEAR MINT
Both inserts are also in superb condition with no marks and very little sign of actually ever being handled
