Egbert ABB would make a solid 10 song CD.
26th September 2006 03:44 PM
glencar I agee with that but I still prefer it over ER.
26th September 2006 03:51 PM
GotToRollMe ER, without a doubt.

Soldatti ER: #1 in US during 7 weeks, multi-platinum seller, the title track was a massive top 3 hit followed by SSC, another really big hit. It still sounds fucking cool, 26+ years and counting.
ABB: #3 in US with low sales, no hits, no decent airplay for any song and their worst selling studio album ever.
I can't see comparisons.

Sir Stonesalot ER vs ABB?

My hope would be that they both beat each other into an unrecognizable bloody mess. Each would then be humanely euthanized, and buried...never to be heard again.

But if I REALLY have to pick one...I'll pick 12X5.

Saint Sway Summer Romance is some damn fine Keith riff'in. Crank it.
26th September 2006 06:48 PM
texile hush sir, you were not invited to this party...
we KNOW your thoughts on the matter.
and soldatti is right -
people forget how big a hit the title track was...
friends who were not fans loved this song.
i love the groove on er better than tattoo -
while tattoo had that slicker sound, er was a carry over from some girls - same vibe and ranch.
i believe er was the LAST of the true raunch.

they were still on a non-stop coke bender from the 70s when they cranked out the ER album.

The beauty of the record is that it sounds like it was cranked out during a non-stop 3 day jag

yeah - it's got that frantic energy you can only have from too many sleepless nights and other mood enhancers.

Some Guy Emotional Rescue was originally released June 24, 1980, it went to #1 in both the UK & US. The album includes the single hits Emotional Rescue and She's So Cold. Most people know the music, so in my reviews I try to give you data on the sessions and interesting facts connected with the songs and the album. Here we go:

Interesting notes include:
.....the vinyl album was released with a large color poster of images taken of the Band with a thermographic camera that imaged the body heat instead of light.....a video was also done with thermographic cameras
.....the tracks on the album were recorded while Keith started his band The New Barbarians to fulfill his drug conviction sentence in Toronto by playing a benefit for the blind, which he did with Ron Wood and the rest of the Stones, and then did a tour (which made no money because the drug expenses were so high)....John Belushi was with the Band for most of the tour
.....Band members Ronnie Wood, Mick Taylor, and Ian McLagan all released albums (with accusations that their best work had gone into their solo efforts)

The sessions for Emotional Rescue were very productive with many unreleased songs. They started in Nassau and continued in Paris with overdub and final mixing at Electric Lady Studios in NYC during Nov & Dec of 1979 and in April 1980.
Jan 18 - Feb 12, 1979 at Compass Point Studios in Nassau
.....She's So Cold
.....All About You
Jun 10 - Aug 25 & Sep 12 - Oct 19, 1979 at Pathe Marconi/EMI Studios in Paris
.....Dance
.....Summer Romance
.....Send It To Me
.....Let Me Go
.....Indian Girl
.....Where The Boys Go
.....Down In The Hole
.....Emotional Rescue

Also recorded during the Emotional Rescue sessions were:
.....Little T & A (released on Tattoo You)
.....Hang Fire (released on Tattoo You)
.....Worried About You (released on Tattoo You)
.....If I Was A Dancer (Dance, Pt. 2) (released as a 12" single)
.....Black Limousine (released on Tattoo You)
.....No Use In Crying (released on Tattoo You)

Tracks from these sessions that were never released included Gangster's Moll, I'll Let You Know, Linda Lu, Lonely At the Top, It Won't Be Long, Still In Love, Sweet Home Chicago, What's The Matter, You're So Beautiful (But You Gotta Die Someday), Break Away, and Sands Of Time.

yes. Rotterdam 1975. They re-did the vocals in Paris in 1979.

Bizarre that it was finished in plenty of time for Emotional Rescue but they still left it off, but chose to release drivel such as "Indian Girl" instead

There was enough good material recorded for ER for it to have been a superb album, but only about half of it is up to standard. One of the few Stones albums when their selection process was found wanting.

Sound and production-wise though, the 1978-81 era Stones records were their greatest

Your Cousin Lou I gotta go with Emotional Rescue on this. Not that I think ABB is bad, but I think ER is vastly underrated. Sometimes I prefer it to Some Girls.
26th September 2006 08:06 PM
Sir Stonesalot I just thought I heard emotional rescue playing...turns out it was just the guy sitting across from me farting.
26th September 2006 08:27 PM
texile watch it about indian girl gazza - i love that song...
and actually, i think the worried about you vocals are the originals from 74, munich....

All true -- and all irrelevant as to essential quality. ER was a highly likeable batch of leftovers from one of the band's most inspired recording sessions ("Some Girls"). I think ABB tracks 1-12 notch just behind Tattoo You...

Along with Texile, I dig "Indian Girl" too -- a catchy little cold war gem.

Rotterdam '75. Wayne Perkins plays guitar on that session, when they were trying out the new guitarists. They kept the original backing track when they reworked the song in 1979. The vocal is from 1979.

The version from 1975 thats on bootlegs, such as "Tattoo Too" contains some minor lyrical differences to the released version and the 1979 vocal has the falsetto
