Al Stewart, Year Of The Cat Full Album Zipl

Sticky Fingers is the 9th British and 11th American studio album by the Eng=
lish rock band the Rolling Stones. The Stones released it on 23 April 1971 =
on their new, and own label Rolling Stones Records. They had been contracte=
d by Decca Records and London Records in the UK and the US since 1963. On t=
his album Mick Taylor made his second full-length appearance on a Rolling S=
tones album (after the live album Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!). It was the first s=
tudio album without Brian Jones who died two years earlier. The original co=
ver artwork, conceived by Andy Warhol and photographed and designed by memb=
ers of his art collective, The Factory, showed a picture of a man in tight =
jeans, and had a working zip that opened to reveal underwear fabric. The co=
ver was expensive to produce and damaged the vinyl record, so later re-issu=
es featured just the outer photograph of the jeans.

The album features the first usage of the tongue and lips logo of Rolling S=
tones Records, originally designed by John Pasche in 1970. Jagger suggested=
 to Pasche that he copy the outstuck tongue of the Hindu goddess Kali, and =
while Pasche first felt it would date the image back to the Indian culture =
craze of the 1960s, seeing Kali made him change his mind. Before the end of=
 that year his basic version was faxed to Craig Braun by Marshall Chess. Th=
e black & white copy was then modified by Braun and his team, resulting in =
today's most popular red version, the slim one with the two white stripes o=
n the tongue.[9] Critic Sean Egan has said of the logo, "Without using the =
Stones' name, it instantly conjures them, or at least Jagger, as well as a =
certain lasciviousness that is the Stones' own ... It quickly and deservedl=
y became the most famous logo in the history of popular music."[11] The ton=
gue and lips design was part of a package that, in 2003, VH1 named the "No.=
 1 Greatest Album Cover" of all time.[12]

Sticky Fingers was released on 23 April 1971[25] and hit the number one spo=
t on the British charts in May 1971, remaining there for four weeks before =
returning at number one for a further week in mid June. In the US, the albu=
m hit number one within days of release, and stayed there for four weeks. T=
he album spent a total of 69 weeks on the Billboard 200.[26] According to B=
illboard's Top 200 list, it was one of many albums that topped the German c=
hart that year.

In a contemporary review for the Los Angeles Times, music critic Robert Hil=
burn said that although Sticky Fingers is one of the best rock albums of th=
e year, it is only "modest" by the Rolling Stones' standards and succeeds o=
n the strength of songs such as "Bitch" and "Dead Flowers," which recall th=
e band's previously uninhibited, furious style.[27] Jon Landau, writing in =
Rolling Stone, felt that it lacks the spirit and spontaneity of the Rolling=
 Stones' previous two albums and, apart from "Moonlight Mile", is full of "=
forced attempts at style and control" in which the band sounds disintereste=
d, particularly on formally correct songs such as "Brown Sugar."[28] Writin=
g for Rolling Stone in 2015, David Fricke called it "an eclectic affirmatio=
n of maturing depth" and the band's "sayonara to a messy 1969".[29] In a po=
sitive review, Lynn Van Matre of the Chicago Tribune viewed the album as th=
e band "at their raunchy best" and wrote that, although it is "hardly innov=
ative," it is consistent enough to be one of the year's best albums.[30] Wr=
iting for Slate, Jack Hamilton praised the album in a retrospective review,=
 stating that it was "one of the greatest albums in rock 'n' roll history."=

Sticky Fingers was voted the second best album of the year in The Village V=
oice's annual Pazz & Jop critics poll for 1971.[31] Lester Bangs voted it n=
umber one in the poll and said that it was his most played album of the yea=
r.[32] Robert Christgau, the poll's creator, ranked the album 17th on his o=
wn year-end list.[33] In a 1975 article for The Village Voice, Christgau su=
ggested that the release was "triffling with decadence", but might be the R=
olling Stones' best album, approached only by Exile on Main St. (1972).[34]=
 In Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), he wrote=
 that it reflected how unapologetic the band was after the Altamont Free Co=
ncert and that, despite the concession to sincerity with "Wild Horses", son=
gs such as "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "I Got the Blues" are as "soulf=
ul" as "Good Times," and their cover of "You Gotta Move" is on-par with the=
ir previous covers of "Prodigal Son" and "Love in Vain."[18]

In June 2015, the Rolling Stones reissued Sticky Fingers (in its 2009 remas=
tering) in a variety of formats to coincide with a new concert tour, the Zi=
p Code Tour. The Deluxe and Super Deluxe versions of the reissue featured p=
reviously unreleased bonus material (depending on the format): alternative =
takes of some songs, live tracks recorded on 14 March 1971 at the Roundhous=
e (venue), London, and the complete 13 March 1971 show at Leeds University.=
 It re-entered the UK Albums chart at number 7, extending their UK Top 10 a=

bums chart at number 5, extending their US Top 10 album chart span beyond 5=
0 years and 6 months since 12 x 5 on 14 December 1964.[35][36][37][38]

Duke Ellington discovered and recorded pianist-composer Dollar Brand aka Ab=

but it took a long time for the South African township music he evolved in =
the 1970s to be accepted outside of Africa. This album was one of the very =
first to be made in America and its impact was immense, its melodicism, war=
