Goats Head Soup by The Rolling Stones was originally released in 1973 and features the #1 hit, "Angie." Another prized jewel in their unmatched catalog, the album has been restored to its full glory with a new stereo album mix sourced from the original session files. CD includes a 12-page booklet. Review: Incredible reissue - What a nice surprise to see this seller offer this release at such a great price. The package came in three days, and its a beautiful box set. The gatefold of the original album along with the bonus disk that was surprisingly very good. A few tracks that didn't make the cut were solid and then the rest were instrumentals or alternate versions. I'm not sure how many times I'll listen to it, but it did sound wonderful. The two LP Brussels Affair is widely known as one of the great Stones shows from that era, and Mick Taylor's playing along with the horn section made it a wonderful recording. The mastering of this is incredible. it sounds perfect and their are sounds and vocals that never came out on the original version I bought 48 years ago. No comparison. I'm not sure if half speed mastering is a gimmick or a real improvement but the 180gm vinyl is just pristine. Goats Head Soup was not an album that really compared to the run of records that preceded it, but it holds up quite well all these years later. Review: The Rolling Stones..."Goat's Head Soup"...1973 & 2009 Remastered - I always thought the TITLE of "Goat's Head Soup" was rather unique & funny as hell. The Stones DID choose some really interesting album titles for the 1970s, hence THIS title & "Sticky Fingers". Too bad that they DIDN'T record SONGS w/ these STRANGE titles. I orig. bought THIS record in 1974, & the remastered CD on April 26, 2013. "GOAT'S HEAD SOUP" album will be 40 YEARS OLD...later THIS year. It's time for my review now: 1. "Dancing With Mr. D"...This song contains some EXCELLENT guitar work. Good beat, but the lyrics can fool you. But still, I have always enjoyed this song, anyway. 2. "100 Years Ago"...I wasn't too crazy about this song @ first, but now I can honestly say it has grown on me & l like it much better, now. 3. "Coming Down Again"...This song is pretty good, I have always liked this. 4. "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)"...This song did make the TOP 40, stalling @ #15 in 1974. This song is pretty good. 5. "Angie"...This #1 hit single will always remind of September 1973, when I entered my Senior Year. I've always liked this song, very much. 6. "Silver Train"...This song seems pretty good. 7. "Hide Your Love"...This is one of my favorite songs, on this album. I've always enjoyed listening to this song...I really think that "Hide Your Love" should have been a hit. 8. "Winter"...This song has nice wording & the music is VERY good, esp. on the strings. 9. "Can You Hear The Music"...In my opinion, I think that THIS is the very BEST song on this ENTIRE album. 10. "Star Star"...This song seems pretty good. This "Goat's Head Soup" album is most recommended. I've always enjoyed it enough to buy it again on a CD format.

A slick and polished effort by Rick’s bad boy’s
After the lovely and primitive nature of Exile on Main Street this is a surprising sequel. Considering that it was recorded in what Bill Wyman described as a toolkit shed on the grounds of Dynamic Studios in Jamaica. With overdubbing at Village Recorders in LA and follow up recording at Island Studios. The soft beauty of Angie and the graceful Winterr in which Jagger seems to Chanel Van Morrison! Taylor’s solo magnificent! And finally the naughty Star Star( which is not the actual title of the piece) listening closely and the refrain contains a subliminal message. Starting off with Dancing With Mr. D pretty menacing stuff. And the Santana like grace of 100 years ago. A good buy and one of several favorites Waiting on a Friend was recorded in these sessions.

The Soup Simmers with added Glimmer
So The Stones break another chart record with Goats head Soup once more reaching #1 on the UK charts. Most of that is due to devilishly clever marketing & the much hyped bonus track Scarlet. So how good is this album plus rarities & The Brussels Affair? I'm undecided on the album, but clearly the original could have been better. On the rarities we get three 1973 Glyn Jones' mixes. Why did they go with his late brother Andy's mixes on the original? Glyn knew how to get the best out of this band (no offence to Andy's job who on EXILE or RCA engineers' Satisfaction era Stones). The 'new' songs showcase Jimmy Page on Scarlet who is unimpressive here, compared to Rick Grech's unusual bass line. But fun to listen too, as are Criss Cross & All The Rage, if only for Mick Taylor's guitar work. The piano version of 100 Years Ago is a master class in under statement by Jagger & Nicky Hopkins. Man, why did they have to add anything to this? It is a remarkable piece, & far superior to what appeared on the original 73 album. It rivals some of Neil Young's best piano based 70's output. The following instrumental version of Dancing with Mr D is simply padding, & annoying padding at that. However the Heartbreaker instrumental has a grace & beauty to it, which only needed Jagger's vocals added & once again the 73 disc would have benefited. Onto The Brussels Affair, which I first heard on vinyl in 2012 on the huge box set released then. It is probably the best early Stones live recording available. Remember Get Yer Ya Ya's Out was heavily overdubbed, and the soundtrack to the 72 Ladies & Gentlemen film is poorly recorded. As for the Brain Jones' era Got Live If You Want It had crowd noise overdubbed onto studio tracks for the most part. So Brussels tops the list. Here is the swagger & the drug fueled sweat giving us both the power & sloppiness of a truly great Rock 'n' roll band. I could have done without Starf- - -er which I have always held was over driven Chuck Berry riffing coupled with awful lyrics. Angie was big at the time, staking a claim as the first true Rock Power Ballad, & it this is the only recorded version of the song I enjoy. As an aside I did see then do a semi acoustic version of it on their Voodoo Longue tour which was terrific, otherwise it's strictly snoozeville! As journalist Nick Kent stated of Brussels, The Stones 'OWNED early 70s roc'k, & here is the proof! One puzzling question, the 'new' Brussels seems cleaner than the 2012 version, so someone please tell me why? Oh & Giles Martin, yes THAT Giles Martin, does a good job remixing the original disc. Final comment: buy this on vinyl if possible as downloads don't do it justice at all.

Sehr interessante und „überraschende“ Neuauflage - aber Vorsicht bei der Variantenwahl The Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup (2 CD, Deluxe Edition) - 04.09.20 (Erst-VÖ: 31.08.1973) GOATS HEAD SOUP ist das 11.te britische und 13.te amerikanische Sudioalbum der Stones und erschien erstmals am 31.08.197. Bereits 1994 und 2009 erschienen remasterte Versionen des Albums. Nun also der dritte Remaster-Aufguss, aber mit reichlich Bonusmaterial. Selbst Nicht-Stones-Fans kennen ANGIE, dem größten Hit des Albums. ANGIE war tatsächlich der letzte ganz große Megaseller einer Stones Single. 1978 gab es mit MISS YOU nochmal einen großen Single-Hit, der aber an die Erfolge von ANGIE nicht ganz heran kam. So gesehen ist GOATS HEAD SOUP das letzte Studio-Album des letzten großen Single-Hits. Persönlich kann ich ANGIE nicht mehr hören (liegt aber nicht an unserer „Mutti“). Schon immer haben mir durch die Bank alle anderen Songs besser gefallen. GOATS HEAD SOUP ist eines der wenigen Stones Alben, wo alle Songs komplett überzeugen, auch wenn ich ANGIE weiterskippe. GOATS HEAD SOUP ist eines von sieben Stones Studio-Alben die Mehrfachplatin in den USA erreicht haben. 3x Platin erhielt das Album und ist damit an dritter Stelle der am meistverkaufstesten Stones Studio-Alben. Weitere ausgekoppelte Singles des Albums waren DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO (HEARTBREAKER) und STAR STAR, die sich größtenteils zwischen den Plätzen 11-30 der Single-Charts aufhielten. Bei Neuauflagen stellt sich für mich immer die Frage des Mehrwerts. Lohnt sich der Kauf eines Albums, welches man schon in seiner Sammlung hat? In diesem Fall muss ich das ganz klar bejahen. Allerdings gilt das nur für die 2CD-Deluxe Ausgabe für 17,54€. Die absoluten Highlights sind aber die drei neuen, bisher unveröffentlichten Songs. In den „Universal Music Group“ Archiven fand jemand diese drei Stücke. Mich Jagger war zunächst entsetzt, fand die Outtakes schrecklich und war dagegen diese zu veröffentlichen. Dann wurde ihm klar, dass man das unvollendete vollenden kann und mit etwas Nachbearbeitung hier und da wurden die Songs aufgepeppt, ohne am Sound der 70er großartig was zu ändern. SCARLET wurde bereits im Oktober 1974 eingespielt, blieb aber 46 Jahre lang im Archiv. Im Oktober 1974, also weit nach den Aufnahmen zu GOATS HEAD SOUP, hingen die Rolling Stones im Londoner Island Studio herum, um einen Nachfolger für GOATS HEAD SOUP aufzunehmen. Auch Jimmy Page, Gitarrist der legendären Rockband Led Zeppelin, wurde von Keith Richards zu einer Jamsession eingeladen. Dabei waren außerdem Ian Stewart am Piano, Bassist Rick Grech (u.a. Traffic) und Bruce Rowland (u.a. Fairport Convention) an den Drums. So entstand SCARLET, benannt nach Pages Tochter. Der Song besticht vor allem durch die Gitarren von Keith Richards und Jimmy Page. Der interessanteste Part sind die letzten 40 Sekunden, wo die Gitarren nur so wimmern. ALL THE RAGE ist eine Neubearbeitung des Outtakes aus 1973 zu GOATS HEAD SOUP. Typisch Stones aber ohne irgendwelche Merkmale, die in Erinnerung bleiben. Die Vocals wurden hier neu aufgenommen. Das merkt man der Aufnahme gar nicht an. So gesehen toll gemacht. CRISS CROSS ist ebenfalls eine Neubearbeitung eines Outtakes aus 1973 zu GOATS HEAD SOUP. Der Beginn erinnert mich sehr stark an SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO von The Clash. Die Ähnlichkeit des Riffs ist durchaus gegeben. Vielleicht haben sich The Clash hier die Inspiration für ihren Welthit geholt? Auch hier ist der Schluss mit Jam-Charakter, die letzte Minute in diesem Fall, das Beste am Song. Alle drei Songs sind typische Stones-Nummern, die aber bestenfalls Durchschnitt sind. Sie hätten auch zu GOATS HEAD SOUP zwar gepasst, aber sind alle drei deutlich schwächer wie die auf dem Album verwendeten Songs. Das könnte vielleicht auch der Grund gewesen sein, warum die Songs nicht verwendet wurden, in den Archiven verschwunden und in Vergessenheit geraten sind. 1974 gab es noch eine weitere Aufnahme mit Jimmy Page mit dem Titel THROUGH THE LONELY NIGHTS, welches auf der B-Seite von IT’S ONLY ROCK N‘ ROLL (BUT I LIKE IT) enthalten war. THROUGH THE LONELY NIGHTS ist auf „The Rolling Stones Singles Box Set (1971-2006)“ veröffentlicht worden und gibt es als mp3 Download ebenfalls. Wäre vielleicht auch eine Option gewesen, diesen Song hier mit drauf zu packen. Nach dem gemeinsamen Live-Aid Auftritt kamen Jimmy Page und die Stones nochmals zusammen. Aus dieser Session entstand ONE HIT (TO THE BODY), dem ersten Song und die dritte ausgekoppelte Single des Albums DIRTY WORK (1986). CD1 beinhaltet die 10 Songs des Albums im 2020er Remix. CD 2 „Rarities & Alternative Mixes“ enthält folgende Songs: 1. Scarlet (NEW) 2. All The Rage (NEW) 3. Criss Cross (NEW) 4. 100 Years Ago (Piano Demo) 5. Dancing With Mr D (Instrumental) 6. Heartbreaker (Instrumental) 7. Hide Your Love (Alternative Mix) 8. Dancing With Mr D (Glyn Johns 1973 Mix) 9. Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) – (Glyn Johns 1973 Mix) 10. Silver Train (Glyn Johns 1973 Mix) UND JETZT DER ABSOLUTE HAMMER: beim AutoRip war quasi eine dritte CD dabei, zum selben Preis! Im Download enthalten ist das Live-Album THE BRUSSELS AFFAIR (dazu im nächsten Abschnitt mehr). Ebenfalls zusätzlich beim AutoRip dabei sind zwei alternative Mixe von SCARLETT, die nicht auf den Boxen enthalten sind! Das ist mal ein super Service von Amazon. Der Inhalt dieser AutoRip scheint der offizielle Album Download mit 3CD’s sein. Der mp3 Download dieser 37 Songs kostet bei Amazon 24,36€, bei iTunes 24,99€. Schön, dass das bei der 2CD mit als Bonus von Amazon dazu gepackt wurde, für sensationelle 17,54€. GOATS HEAD SOUP gibt es auch als „Super Deluxe Edition“ 4-Disc Box, welche mit Disc 1 und Disc 2 identisch sind mit der Deluxe-Edition. Das Boxset beinhaltet aber nur 35 Tracks (ohne die beiden SCARLET Alternate-Takes) und wird mit dem Live-Album THE BRUSSELS AFFAIR, ein Live-Mitschnitt, der im Oktober 1973 im Forest National aufgezeichnet wurde, und einem 120-seitigen Buch mit zahlreichen Fotos und exklusiven Essays sowie vier Poster-Repros von 1973 , abgerundet. Das Live-Album war lange Zeit ein super produziertes Bootleg. Vielleicht das berühmteste Bootleg der Stones überhaupt, welches nun offiziell auf physischen Tonträgern veröffentlicht wird. Als Digital Download erschien das Live-Album erstmals hochoffiziell am 18.10.2011. Der „Digital Download“ selbst wurde wiederum inoffiziell als Bootleg auf CD gepresst. Das veranlasste die Plattenfirma nun selbst eine physische Box zu veröffentlichen. Zu Wucherpreisen von 750-1500 USD. Jetzt gibt es das Album als Bonus-Download dazu. Die Songs der Live CD sind (CD3): 1. Brown Sugar 2. Gimme Shelter 3. Happy 4. Tumbling Dice 5. Star Star 6. Dancing With Mr. D. 7. Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) 8. Angie 9. You Can't Always Get What You Want 10. Midnight Rambler 11. Honky Tonk Women 12. All Down The Line 13. Rip This Joint 14. Jumpin' Jack Flash 15. Street Fighting Man Die vierte Disc ist eine Blu-Ray mit Audio und Videomaterial der Songs. Mit 89,90€ ist diese „Super Deluxe Edition“ aber vollkommen überteuert. In drei Wochen erscheint STEEL WHEELS LIVE, eine 6-Disc Box, kostet aktuell 47,63€ hier bei Amazon. Warum verlangt man für ein 4-Disc Set über 40€ mehr? Das Live-Album, die Bluray, das Buch und die Poster sind in der „Super Deluxe Edition“ von GOATS HEADS SOUP rechtfertigen bei weitem den Preis nicht. Das interessanteste ist das Live-Album und das gibt es bei der 2CD beim AutoRip als Bonus dabei. Der reguläre Download liegt bei knapp 25€. Und für die „Super Deluxe Edition“ werden dann 89,90€ aufgerufen? Hier stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis überhaupt nicht. Bleibt man bei der 2CD mit dem Bonus Download, so ist ein Mehrwert mehr als gegeben. So stelle zumindest ich mir Re-Releases vor. Nicht nur einfach die Songs remixen, sondern auch explizite Inhalte mit draufpacken. Drei „alte“ neue Songs aus den Archiven und das Live-Album dazu sind sensationell. Die Alternate Takes sind zwar nett aber letztendlich verzichtbar. Da freue ich mich über die Instrumentalversionen mehr. Fünf Sterne für die 2CD/Bonus Download Version. Zwei Sterne für die „Super Deluxe Edition“. Wegen des unverschämten Preisniveaus, nicht wegen der Musik. 90€ sind einfach jenseits von Gut und Böse.

Una de mis mejores bandas favoritas sin lugar a duda son "rolling stones", el disco se oye genial sin ningún ruido raro. Llegó justo a tiempo y lo estoy escuchando remontandome a esa bella época del rocanrol.

This was the first Stones album I bought when I was 14 in 1973 so my view of it is,perhaps, bolstered by nostalgia.The back catalogue I collected later and only then did I realize the weight of of expectation that led to the mixed reviews when Goat's Head Soup was released. Nothing more need be said about the incredible run of Stones albums between 1968-1972 other than the fact that this album was always going to be measured against the majesty of those recordings I was coming to The Stones completely fresh however and this album did not disappoint. In fact, I loved it. The slithering , sensuous opener "Dancing with Mr D" reminded me of the voodoo scenes from Live and Let Die - the Bond film from the same year. Often regarded as a poor relation to "Sympathy for the Devil" but listen to the live version on "A Brussels Affair" and you'll discover what an underrated song this is. "100 years ago" is an unusual Stones song which stops abruptly two thirds of the way through when Jagger sings "Call me lazy bones". The song then speeds up with great interplay between Mick Taylor's lead guitar and Billy Preston on clavinet. Preston shines again on the funky rocker "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) " which shows that he was listening to Stevie Wonder a lot at the time. "Coming Down Again" is a Keith Richards sung beautiful ballad that is almost a cry for help from the heroin addiction that had engulfed him. Side Two on the original album opened with "Silver Train" , a bluesy rocker that would have sounded more at home on "Exile". Apparently written in 1970 it is a bit out of place on this album but nevertheless has some fine harmonica from Mick Jagger. The highlight of Side Two and possibly the whole album is "Winter" , a plaintive ballad where Jagger delivers one of his best vocal performances. The soulfulness of this song suggests that Mick had been listening to Van Morrison's St Dominic's Preview released the previous year. The album closer "Star Star" is the out and out rocker , great groove, Chuck Berry pinched riff with rude lyrics that ensured radio bans everywhere. The Stones hadn't finished with controversy yet, but if you don't chuckle at the sheer schoolboy naughtiness of this song after listening to it,then you've lost your sense of humour. Last , but not least, the single " "Angie". The lush strings arrangement may have been too much for the hard core Stones rock fan, but, again , great vocal from Jagger and the broad appeal of the song made it a global hit and ensured its parent album sold by the bucketload. So, there we are. Forget what went before and what would come later. Listen to this album in isolation and you won't be disappointed.

Have listened to the Stones since I was 14. Still my favourite group despite the fact Jagger is a thoroughly unlikeable individual. The bonus disk is a nice addition to my collection. Would have preferred a SHM cd with better quality sound but for the Amazon price of $22.00 it is well worth it. If you can afford it get the super deluxe release.

CD ESAGERATO. PER CHI AMA GLI STONES NON DEVE MANCARE, HO NOTATO INOLTRE CHE L'EDIZIONE RIMASTERIZZATA, HA UNA QUALITA' DEL SUONO VERAMENTE ALTA, DI UNA CATEGORIA SUPERIORE RISPETTO ALLE VARIE RIMASTERIZZAZIONI ALLE QUALI SONO ABITUATO. QUINDI SODDISFATTISSIMO ! ( INUTILE DIRE CHE GRAZIE AD AMAZON MI E' STATO CONSEGNATO IL GIORNO DOPO L'ACQUISTO. )
