The Rolling Stones
Goats Head Soup UNIVERSAL
Remastered, multi-format edition of the band’s 1973 classic, with previously unheard tracks.
The Stones’ eleventh studio album has long been seen as an acquired taste, plain fare compared to its immaculate predecessors: 1972’s and 1971’s . However, while (its title inspired by a Jamaican aphrodisiac, apparently) as a missed opportunity – the band had decamped to Dynamic Sounds Studios in Kingston in late 1972, enthused by the possibilities of fusing rock with reggae – it retains a gritty charm of its own.
