Rolling Stones COC 59100 - Sticky Fingers - 1st US Pressing
This is the most perfectly produced record ever.
The end.
It also reeks of stale marlboros and pizza grease. Very wide belts and original hip hugging bell bottoms.
This was the soundtrack when I was 14 years old and playing pin ball in the back room of a local pizza joint, this record solidly delivered us to the age of 15.
When I could finally figure what I liked about the sound of my favorite records, this one has stood up through out the test of time.
Fresh from the ratty wonderment of “exile on main street” and blessed with the cranky precision of a tight tape cutting scenario by producer jimmy miller, which apparently pissed off keef somewhat. But how else could those pulsing horns be added to such severely yippity jams ?
Other luminous textures:
The tucking mix of low volume lead vocals to keep you leaning in for the lyrics that seldom reveal themselves. The understated drum mix that magically delivers the foot stomp in melding distorted guitar strum.
2 more things:
Working with jim dickinson in 1998, he explained how he was put in the hot seat to play the piano on “wild horses” because gram parsons was a no-show and ian stewart’s refusal to never play any song in a minor key. Jim explained that he had to tack up the few notes that were in tune with the guitars in play and resorted in only being able to play along with such minimal chordings.
And an odd evening with marriane faithful at a small gather in her new york digs whilst she be wearing an “I fucked mick jagger” t-shirt, mentioning her unnoted writing credit to “sister morphine”.
Sheer dazzle and glee with every listen to this day since its release in 1971. It had held me there then and still has me held here now, way up in the future.
