I was to this album when visiting another forumite a while ago. I particularly like the lyrics to the song Watching Brazil (yes, it’s about footie)
The Rolling Stones - Grrr!
Not in the mood for anything too challenging this afternoon, (time for that later), so, disc 2 from this set, which kicks off with Jumping Jack Flash … and just gets better!
They did write and record some classic choons, didn’t they?

One of my all-time favourite albums, partly for personal reasons - took my vinyl copy to every party in the late 70s and early 80s. Remarkably it is still in a playable if not perfect condition.
I was introduced to it by probably one of the few boys in our school who liked soul, reggae and funk music at the time. A big musical influence on me in fact. He explained to me how great it was as it had a fast side for dancing and then a slow side for when you were ‘with a girl’!
Even without all the memories though, it’s a fantastic album from start to finish. Not a dull moment. Even now if I make a playlist - the modern equivalent of a mix tape - for someone, ‘Fight The Power’ is usually on it.

I’ve got this on pre-order, and if the rest of the album is as good as the “Lo/Hi” single it’s going to be a belter!
