The wonderful Goats Head Soup reissue tops UK chart today, setting new record for first artist to have chart topping albums across 6 decades. Been listening to it all week; full stereo remix by Giles Martin at Abbey Road, the album sounds better than it ever has I think. Always a favourite, very underrated; a murky, vibe, voodoo recorded in Jamaica in 72 and 73. The ballads are exquisite - Keith's 'Coming Down Again', 'Angie', and perhaps best of all, Jaggers 'Winter'. The bonus disc is a revelation - jazzy instrumental early version of 'Heartbreaker', southern rock slide guitar groove of instrumental 'Dancing with Mr.D'. The beautiful piano demo of '100 Years Ago' - just Mick vocal and piano. Brussels '73 live on the deluxe is incredible of course. www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-rolling-stones-break-official-chart-record-as-they-pip-declan-mckenna-to-number-1-with-goats-head-soup__30967/

Its a fantastic record, the new mix is so good & the live show is out of this world good. Agreed; Brussels is a stellar performance. The version of Midnight Rambler alone is 12 minutes of the best live Stones on disc. How was GHS so underrated, some truly wonderful pieces on it.

My favourite Stones song. Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" was first recorded in November and December 1972 before being re-recorded early the following summer. Jim Horn arranged the song's horns and played sax together with Bobby Keys, and Chuck Findley played trumpet. Mick Taylor played the lead guitar part (which features use of a wah-wah pedal, and a Leslie speaker), Richards played guitar and bass; Billy Preston plays clavinet (also using a wah-wah), and RMI Electra Piano. Released as the second single from Goats Head Soup in the US only (after the No. 1 hit "Angie"), it reached No. 15 in the US on the Billboard Hot 100 and has remained a staple on AOR and classic rock radio stations."

Great choice Railroad, what a song! I assume you've heard the previously unreleased (even not bootlegged I think) instrumental take on Disc 2? Very jazzy, wonderful Taylor guitar.

Thanks guys for the heads-up, I'm going to buy this album. Deluxe is pricey but well worth it if you're a fan. Besides the 4 discs is the 120 page book, and the book is not a flimsy thing, its filled with great glossy images from the 73 tours and recording sessions. They looked amazing on that tour; decadent, druggy (Keith) and ragged, but very cool.

Think i like the Glyn Johns 1973 mix of Heartbreaker the best, seems a clearer mix with more definied separation, to my lugs.
