ROLLING STONES/FLASHPOINT 468135 1 (-91) HOLLAND

 


To be honest - this was never one of my most wanted Stones albums. Just got it because I want my RS collection complete and it is nice to have the LP with the large 12 page booklet. Even if not the rarest Stones vinyl, when it shows up in these parts it's almost always on CD.  To my taste non of their other live albums can measure up to "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out" and this doesn't either, but considering all that'd been during the band's then almost thirty years it's surprisingly good.  Recorded during the 1989-90 Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour. You get a good flow of classic numbers, performed with an unexpected mass of youthful (???) energy. And even if I've heard the songs many many times before it still kind of works. It's also nice to hear Clapton guesting on "Little Red Rooster", which he of course does with great honor. The whole thing ends with two 1991 studio recordings - "High Wire" and "Sex Drive" - of which the former also was released as 45. Very good Stones, sounding like something from the Steel Wheels sessions. So even if I wasn't keen on it earlier, after getting aquainted I give in and will certainly spin again. Issued and reissued on vinyl, cassette and CD all over the world through the years. Most original CD:s came as seventeen tracks, adding "Rock And A Hard Place" and "Can't Be Seen".  Premiere Dutch had label as shown here in a fully laminated stickered cover with a 12 page booklet.
