those that know know it is the equal of any of their others and, yes, it is the most chibalicious...
b&b came out the same time i started getting into pot and reggae so the timing (and the music) was perfect - also the same time i went from stones fan to fanatic... a coincidence you say...well... i don't think so...
“hot stuff” is not “disco” - then not reggae either or straight funk - true stones magic - a mix of influences greater than the sum of its parts (cf. tumblin’ dice (sic.)) - and the guitar solo always makes you wonder what would have happened if wayne perkins had got the gig
keith’s bob marley t- shirt was a key (and hear cherry o baby) - also the credits and seeing that not only did he do those backing vox on MM but it’s his piano as well...and let’s not forget the picture on the cover..
the “family relationship in song” aspect of FTC has always jarred but I’ve never had a problem overlooking that and just taking the sound for what it’s worth - which is plenty – philly soul wasn’t “hip”* then - ‘tho despite the hipousie it was still a hit – it was the sound of the ‘70’s as much as the sex pistols) – I mean, I love all that wah- wah pedal stuff – makes me feel for jimi hendrix
and the mix is the antithesis of exile but in its own way just as epic - no nellcote chaos (thanx Arif!!) – but a sound as clear and precise as that cover picture… it’s all there in the cold light of day…now that’s what I call punk rock…a naked lunch right there on the fork… as it was…
and "crazy mama" is just that
black & blue… it’s as funky as fuck…(excuse my spanish – como se llama!!)
and the B-B connection. ..buttons, beggars, black & blue, bridges – what’s up with this stuff??

Yes SIA it was the album that turned me into "fan..ATIC" too. What really got me, and still does were the four promo clips Ian Meldrum dedicated half,(unprecedented),of his beloved 'Countdown'to that Sunday Night in early '76....I still think those clips are the pinnacle where the music video is concerned. For mine, you can keep your 'Bohemian Rhapsody',(as good as that is), I'll take 'Hot Stuff', and 'Hey Negrita' any day......For any Black & Blue apostles, 'Rags To Excess' is a must......"you better get those fucking monitors together man!" |

Gypsy I think I heard you speak of this once before LOL!
And I also know how passionate you are to B&B me too!
SIA- I dont quite get ya? What would happen if perkins got the gig?? Not as much as what woody has offered thats for sure!
ONE OF THE BEST GOD DAMN STONES ALBUMS EVER! |
|
|
| gypsymofo60 |
Yes Woody! when did I mention that?.....LOL..and as we were saying, I still think your namesake had alot to do with how that album panned out.....Hey Negrita, bit more than "INSPIRATION" I think. |

all i'm saying woody is, going by "hot stuff", perkins would have made quite a contribution to the bands sound if he'd ogot the job
and that comment is not meant to be critical of woody at all - |

perkins laid down a truly Tayloresque solo in Hand of Fate, but the stinging Hot Stuff solo was Harvey Mandel's handiwork |

yes indeed 100YA you are correct - my mistake - apologies -
perkins also did the elec. guitar on FTC - and mandel on MM |
