I for one actually hope there are no lyrics with it. I used to be in love trying to figure out what Jagger was saying. I think printing the lyrics takes out a lot of the mystique.
Its always fun a year down the road to look at the sheet music and find out ... "oh, thats what he is saying"

I entirely agree, Mr. Tamp. The first Stones album with a lyric sheet was "Rewind" and things have been less fun ever since. Having to decifer Jagger is a major Stonesian pleasure. |

I'd forgot about Rewind printin' the lyrics (havent played that one in decades!)
However, "Undercover" had a lyric sheet as I recall, which would make it the first one I think
There are countless Stones songs (including many of the best known ones) that I have sung along to for years and years, using 'approximate' lyrics that if I stopped and thought about what I was saying, would make absolutely no sense whatsoever. And English is my first language, most of the time... |

Yes Undercover had them on a red silk background if memory servers. Given the current "stature" of Mick's lyrics it might be best NOT to have printed them this time around ;-) |

In the US, the first studio album to have lyrics with it was DIRTY WORK |

The initial (US) vinyl pressings of Undercover did not have the lyrics. The red velvet background just had the band credits.
Dirty Work was the first (US) studio album to have lyrics. Rewind was def. the first American release ever with lyrics.
Of course Japanese pressings have contained lyrics for years but those transcriptions are often inaccurate. |

Finding a book of sheet music for "Exile on Main Street" at a flea market when I was a kid was a huge thrill. It was like finding a skeleton key. |

Gerardo, do you know if it comes with line-up in all the songs? |

I still don`t know the lyrics from one of my favourite songs from it, Casino Boogie.
Do Jagger says "grotesque music" or "protest music"'?
I don`t understand other lines in other songs too, as in Soul Survivour, and I like that.
But, I remember reading Jagger on printing the lyrics in the albums. I have no idea where I read it, but I did. He says something about that music and lyrics gotta be taken together, to isolate the lyrics by printing them is not big deal.
I have one magazine where Jaggers says he was influenced, when younger, by a Fats Domino remark about singing the lyrics not too clearly. I think it has some magic in it, indeed.
For those that don`t wanna see the lyrics printed, I salute you.

wow..I'd no idea the US didnt get them..cant think why. We got a lyric sheet plus a sign up form for the new Rolling Stones Fan Club (Beggars Banquet had now got official recognition)
It turned out to be a complete bollocks (no fault of Bill German's, more to do with the overseas distributors) with issues arriving months late.
Seems that any fan club the Stones have put together since the early 70's when Shirley Arnold ran the original (and best) one has been doomed one way or another. |
