Rolling With The Stones: A Lifelong Journey

Growing up the first two Rolling Stones albums I heard were Undercover and Dirty Work. Now, these won’t ever figure highly on lists of favourite Rolling Stones records, but I have a connection to them because, as is often the case with music, the first album/s you hear from a significant artist will remain a […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1639

The Rolling Stones, Emotional Rescue (1980) I get the feeling that this album doesn’t attract a lot of noise in the scheme of things, one of the lesser known/less acclaimed/less interesting albums by The Rolling Stones. We had the album on tape, round and round it would go in mum’s car – and those songs […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1701

The Rolling Stones, Exile On Main Street (1972) I first heard this – one of the most revered/raved about albums by The Rolling Stones – when my brother bought the cassette tape. I only ever knew it as a tape and then a single CD; I never heard it as the double album. I liked […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1794

Mick Jagger, She’s The Boss (1985) I think that Mick Jagger gets a hard time where Keith Richards tends to get a bit of a free ride. To me The Rolling Stones work on whatever level they do now – greatest rock’n’roll band in the world/best live touring act, dinosaurs, whatever – because of Mick […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1847

The Rolling Stones, Undercover (1983) I got the feeling – when the latest round of reissues of albums by The Rolling Stones were, ah, rolled out – that not that many critics had listened to Undercover. It might say something about the album that they had listened and don’t remember it – but I’m dubious. […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1986

 Mick Jagger, Primitive Cool (1987) I first purchased this – when it was released – on cassette tape. I had recently learned all about The Rolling Stones from my older brother and folks. And then Mick Jagger released his new solo album. I had heard She’s The Boss – and liked the singles. I’ve got a […]
