Description
The Rolling Stones / Let It Bleed - Decca Records 6835 204 (Stereo)(Holland)(1967re) ...This auction is for an Import Issue Stereo Record on colored (Red) vinyl.
Released in the fall of 1969, Let It Bleed was comprised of sessions with both Brian Jones and Mick Taylor, yet it continued the direction of Beggar's Banquet, signaling that a new era in the Rolling Stones' career had begun. Mostly recorded without Jones -- who died several months before its release (although he does play on two tracks) and was replaced by Taylor (who also plays on just two songs) -- this extends the rock and blues feel of Beggars Banquet into a slightly harder-rocking, and much more risque musical and lyrical territories.

Editorial reviews 9 (out of 10) - ...it tugs and teases in all directions, from the gospel-tinged lament `You Can't Always Get What You Want' to the voodoo wail of `Midnight Rambler' and `Gimme Shelter' to the redneck farce of `Country Honk'. A classic...

Ranked #28 in Q's 100 Greatest British Albums - ...A watershed album...one that brought the curtain crashing down on the '60s....[They] played badboy blues-rock better than any white band alive, on either side of the Atlantic.

Entertainment Weekly (20020920)
5 stars out of 5 - [I]t's a howling force of nature....This is the sound of the world coming to an end. LET IT BLEED offers sympathy, in that slutty, decadent way that was the Stones' specialty.
