An amazing record, easily the Stones most consistent album in terms of both songwriting and flow. Plus it has some of my fav Stones songs on it (Loving Cup, Tumbling Dice, Happy, All Down the Line, Let it Loose, Rocks Off, Shine a Light)

I've really been into the Stones, in particular this one and Some Girls the past few weeks. It's an awesome record. It's taking some time to digest, but that's just fine by me. I'm nowhere near needing outtakes yet, but thanks zeb.

ah i love this record. it kicks off so well to. rocks off seems to epitomise everything that draws me to the stones' sound.
as far as double albums are concerned, i'd take this over the white album.

Given some time to grow, I love this album.

The main hole in The Stones discography is decent official live albums.
There are a few stunning bootlegs of the '73 European tour like Bedspring Symphony and Brussels Affair, and a classic '71 show from Leeds usually referred to as Get Yer Leeds Lungs Out. This is the Mick Taylor era, the purists choice for live Stones.

A dozen listens in and I am truly enjoying this record. There is definitely some filler here and there, but overall this thing is a very very good listen.

I can't get into a stone's record in its entirety and this one is no different, but I LOVE the 2 tracks this one starts off with.
