Of the six of you reading this, 4 of you know that this 1972 Stones classic is a must have.

The Beatles made rock popular, Zeppelin made it sexy, The Stones made it dirty.


This review is for those who are looking to fatten up their "classic" music section.

On the run from the British taxman, Mick and the boys recorded this country gem in the basement of Keith's house along the South of France.

The album is recorded at the time of their sprawling self-indulgence but Keith is always glad to point out that it is now held up among the band's most enduring work.

Even the insert oozes scum, dirt, sex and drugs. It's The Stones at their finest.

If you are looking to explore Gram Parsons or The Byrds, make sure you add Britain's contribution to the country music scene and pick up this album - it'll make you feel sexy and cool.
