This is my favorite Stones release… hands down. Brian Jones is a forgotten genius… if you think Mick and Keith wrote “Ruby Tuesday” and “As Tears Go By”, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Thanks for bringing attention to this one. I’ve always loved the album, one that seems almost to stand as its own era. The cover photo is absolutely magnificent.
I’ve spent the last 50+ years wondering if anyone else ever noticed that “Connection” and “My Obsession” have the same drum beat but essentially reversed.
Excellent piece!

i've wondered!
It's Sticky Fingers... "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is just so fucking GOOD.
Maybe not their best album, but my favorite, my favorite!
This is a very underrated Stones album from the late 60s.
