    • Probably not exactly my favorite, but an under-rated song is "Undercover of the Night"

    • "Gimme Shelter" OK. Just had to respond, in a bid for shameless self-promo. My wife and I co-wrote "Electrocute Your Cock." Great to see the Vom/A. Sams legacy thriving.

    • Rocks Off and Gimme Shelter. Kinda surprised no-one's mentioned Gimme Shelter yet, maybe it's only Scorsese that likes it.

    • Probably "Empty Heart." It just brims with abandon and energy. It's all over the place at once and comes from what, to me, is their greatest phase ('64-'66), It's the record, not the song; you hear other bands do "Empty Heart" and there's not much there beyond the riff and some harp, but the Stones' side is just a barnstormer.

    • Shattered, don't know why it just is, and Honky Tonk Woman, because the best songs don't necessarily have to be explosive. There is a certain constrained quality to that song, like you're almost getting to where you're going, but not quite and that's ok because you're just along for the ride anyway.

    • yes ...your right..my screw up......i Love the 3d cover w/ the Beatles in the flowers!!!!!! FREDDI said:

      Oh yes,strange album that (I guess you mean"Their Satanic Majesties Request") for the Stones,not everybody liked it.
      For me it's not one of their best,but not so bad. 2000 light years from home,Citadel,2000 man the best songs.

    • i recently found the stones 1970's LP "around and around" album on a 2nd hand market, and was really please to listen to it as i never thought the stones were that good. The Chuck Berry's cover "around and around" is really good in my opinion.

    • Dont really Know what is rarer:....my friend had a copy of Fire on a 45.... Atlantic,......I've had 2 copys of the Clown-star album...... both were cut-outs & both were on Track...
      has any of his stuff been re-issued on CD??????

    • I can't tell you how much Arthur Brown and that first album mean to me...THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN was one of the first 10 albums I ever bought as a kid. There was an article with great color pics of Arthur live in EYE magazine and the cool colorful cover of the LP and that was all my adolescent mind needed to invest my saved lunch money in what has to be the most psychedelic 60's rock record with no guitar on it. Vincent Crane was amazing and the weird strings and horns that pop in occasionally are really cool. Anybody else hear the rumor that Pete Townsend played the bass in a last minute time crunch? And does anybody else think that Deep Purple's Ian Gillian kinda ripped off Arthur's distintive screamin' technique? Which is rarer...the Atlantic issues or the Track issues?

    • Cool. I never seem to find anything like that when I'm searching for Go Go stuff. I did think though that you're supposed to put one hand over the eye when you do a Sammy Davis.

      Most guys would find me crazy but I think 60s dancing just looks sexier than what passes on TV and movies today. Feet together, knees close together. But that's me.

    • hei, how can i get my hands on that?... Victor Lopez said:

      A great version was also released by my old faves the A-Bones on a 7" (Bedrock, 1993), that was "recorded on cassette at rehearsal". No vocals, though.
