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 grounbreaking 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
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)

Can You Hear The Music (5:32)
Star Star (4:25)
LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, bright labels - light spindle traces - some light marks - nothing major
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like new with just harmless hairlines visible under bright light
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Outstanding audio delivery - crystal clear, sharp and strong and my play-check at volume found little to fault - nothing but the (very) occasional light static tick - incredibly minor and really barely worth a mention - no other audible issues of any kind - an exceptionally clean playing copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Apart from a little storage rub on the bottom edge/back surface and a shadow of the original price sticker on the front the heavy gauge gatefold is in fine shape
INSERTS: NEAR MINT/MINT
Both the inserts are also in superb condition with no marks and very little sign of actually being handled
POST & PACKING:
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
