THE ROLLING STONES – Sticky Fingers [Deluxe Edition remastered] (2015)

*

“Sticky Fingers“, one of the most revered albums in the storied catalog of the legendary ROLLING STONES, is set to enthrall a new generation of admirers. The now classic album — which captured the band at the absolute peak of their powers, on timeless tracks such as ‘Brown Sugar,’ ‘Wild Horses,’ ‘Bitch,’ ‘Sister Morphine’ and ‘Dead Flowers’ — has been reissued as Deluxe Editions by Universal Music in a variety of formats worldwide, including previously unreleased material.

The reissue arrives as the Rolling Stones continue to captivate audiences around the world with their endless live performances. Last year’s 14 On Fire tour saw the band play for over a million fans and in 2015 the Stones will set out on a North American tour of stadiums and festivals.
The Rolling Stones newly branded RS- ‘ZIP CODE’ Tour’ started few dayrs ago.

“Sticky Fingers” was recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Stargroves, Mick’s country home and Olympic Studios in London and produced by regular confidant Jimmy Miller. ‘
The album was released shortly after the Stones became exiled in the south of France, leaving Britain after a sensational farewell tour.
It also featured some of the most ground breaking artwork in Rock history by Andy Warhol with its famous working zip on the front cover. This recreated in the Super Deluxe and Double Vinyl Deluxe Editions of the new package.

“Sticky Fingers” has been repeatedly hailed as one of the Stones’ all-time great albums, capturing their trademark combination of swagger and tenderness in a solid set of songs. It showcased the ever more inventive songwriting of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and formidable guitar licks from Mick Taylor.

As happens with those expanded releases, millions of Stones devotees will be hugely excited by not only the original album remastered, but the generous selection of previously unavailable material contained within the Deluxe and Super Deluxe formats.
These include the alternative version of the chart-topping single ‘Brown Sugar’ featuring Eric Clapton; unreleased interpretations of ‘Bitch,’ ‘Can’t You Hear Me Knocking’ and ‘Dead Flowers’; an acoustic take on the anthemic ‘Wild Horses’, and five tracks recorded live at The Roundhouse in 1971 including ‘Honky Tonk Women’ and ‘Midnight Rambler.’

Despite The Rolling Stones never was one of my favorite bands, I have a soft spot for “Sticky Fingers”. Some how it rocks better than any other Stones record, and love Mick Taylor’s guitar work.
This “Sticky Fingers Deluxe Edition” sounds excellent, and the bonuses are worthwhile the purchase, especially for the really nice Alternate Version of “Dead Flowers”.
