The Record Store Day edition of the seventh album of de Stones from 1968. This record finds the Stones at a fork in the road. Founder Brian Jones was enjoying drugs a little too much, and had become a semblance of his former self, and Keith and Mick hadn’t found each other just yet. The previous few album had explored psychedelics, but here they return to their delta blues roots. It made the album in instant classic. Even though Sympathy for the devil and No expectations were not released as singles, they are still standards in the genre.
The cover of my record is that of most reissues. It is the originally planned toilet cover photographed by Barry Feinstein. It was rejected by the record company, and for the first release replaced by what looks like an invitation card. The inside of the gatefold contains a wide picture of the band having what looks like a bacchanal.
