Angie. I was 11 years old, when I heard it at a hotel jukebox on summer vacation. Angie - and Brown Sugar (and of course the b-side tracks). And then I heard Doo doo doo doo doo doo in the local record store. It was phantasstic - and still is I think. Those tracks still have hook in me.

Great that they did ER! And that they did so well with it. Of course it is a corny number, but from second listen and on I have really loved it - and the riscyness of it. Mick's falsetto on this live-version is impressive! What a surprise! Now everything can happen. Will they play CS-blues?

Quote71Tele They should have put all the extra tracks from the deluxe edition of Ya Yas on the same disc as the original ones and resequenced them. Having Satisfaction on Under My Thumb/I'm Free on there really gives a wider picture of how phenomenal the band sounded in 1969, particularly the Richards/Taylor guitar combination. I couldn't disagree more. The strength of GYYYO is that is not a wa

Quotetriceratops Jagger wrote some very clever lyrics but that was long ago when he was up and coming and got into "situations". When he could write about young love and its ups and downs. How he used to put down female partners. Once he got rich he was able to insulate himself and became boring. He hobnobbed more with other rich people and the English aristocracy, not exactly a formula

IMO the second is far superior to the first. In fact I think it's one of their best promos ever. Jagger's appearence is astonishing. His acting - the abrupt shifts between layers of sweetness, longing, cynicism, vulnerability, sincerity, irony theatricallity etc. Jaggers looks. Keith's looks. And Charlie's overbearing/cool/down to earth look on the ongoing popsong-drama.

I wouldn't touch anything on LIB. And IMO the inclusion of Country Honk is pure genious - I mean instead of including HTW. Or Loving Cup. Country Honk marks the tungue-in-cheekiness, which is also one of the strengths of LIB. The blend of threatening darkness and different levells of irony. Country Honk and the choir part of YCAGWYW make LIB so great as a whole.

What I like about many of these compilations is that they compile a decade or a certain period. It gives them coherence. I done well a Sucking in the 80's and a Sucking in the 90's & 00's might have been nice. An easy way to just the gems of the two periods. And a maybe with greater coherence than the actual albums (especially VL, BTB and ABB ).
