Another from my personal collection.Sticky Fingers, One of my favourite all time Rolling Stones albums! This UK pressing is complete with the original insert in perfect absolutely mint condition. The original UK zip cover is in exceptional condition without edge splits or tares or edge scuffs but has just light storageware,creasings mainly at the front top opening edge common on this fragile die cut cover but i would say at least excellent with super square corners! The vinyl looks and sounds barely ever played, absolutely stunning audio quality throughout, graded as near perfect on side 1 and excellent plus on side 2.! This album is becoming more and more difficult to find in this condition and becoming highly collectable and sought after!
Sticky Fingers is an album by The Rolling Stones and was released in 1971. It is notable for being the band's first release on their newly-formed Rolling Stones Records label after having been contracted since 1963 with Decca Records in the UK and London Records in the US. It is also Mick Taylor's first full-length appearance on a Rolling Stones album.!!!!
Although sessions for Sticky Fingers began in earnest in March 1970, they had done some early recording at Muscle Shoals Studios in Alabama in December 1969 and "Sister Morphine", cut during Let It Bleed's sessions earlier in March of that year, would be heldover for this release. Much of the recording for Sticky Fingers was effected with The Rolling Stones' mobile studio unit in Stargroves during the summer and fall months in 1970. Early versions of songs that would appear on Exile on Main ST. were also routined during these sessions!!!!!.
Sticky Fingers may just be the band's most drug-drenched album, as well over half of the songs mention drug use, while the rest merely alludes to it. Some final overdubbing and mixing in January 1971, found the album complete and preceded by "Brown Sugar" that March, which reached #1 in the US and #2 in the UK.
Appearing in April on their new Rolling Stones label (with distribution by WEA Music), Sticky Fingers was rapturously-received and hit #1 worldwide, beginning an uninterrupted string of eight consecutive chart-topping US studio albums.
"Wild Horses", covered by Keith Richards friend Gram Parsons with The Flying Burrito Brothers, was the second single in the US only, making the Top 30!!!!!!.
