The Rolling Stones
Tattoo You
Polydor / Rolling Stone 383495 - re-issue DELUXE 2 LP expanded version - 9 previously unreleased outtakes - on limited CLEAR vinyl in a thick gatefold jacket with alternate album cover art.
After bum-rushing the '80s with EMOTIONAL RESCUE, the Stones released TATTOO YOU, the second half of a potent one-two album punch that showed the band asserting themselves as they entered their third decade of music-making. Essentially made up of songs dating as far back as 1972 sessions for GOATS HEAD SOUP, the Stones' 1981 release is still a potent slab of swagger and sass. "Hang Fire" is a tight two-minute and twenty second redefinition of surf music, and "Start Me Up" is classic Stones, replete with Jagger's sexual braggadocio and Keith's patented "Honky Tonk Women"-style riffs. The bluesy shuffle that is "Black Limousine" is only surpassed by the cocky "Little T & A," sung by an endearingly raspy Keith Richards. Most impressive on TATTOO YOU is the wistful "Waiting On A Friend," featuring jazz giant Sonny Rollins wailing away on his saxophone as the song fades out. 2 album pressing on clear vinyl packaged with an alternate gatefold cover. Deluxe edition features a second disc of nine previously unreleased tracks.
