Remastered and Cut at Half-Speed at Abbey Road Studios from Vinyl Specific Original Tape Transfers!
1976's Black And Blue was the Stones' fifth studio album in succession to top the American charts, but, like its predecessor it only made it to No. 2 in Britain. It's Ronnie Wood's first studio album as a band member, but it also features guitarists Wayne Perkins and Harvey Mandel, both of whom can be heard on the classic ballad, "Memory Hotel" on which Mick and Keith trade vocals. "Melody," a jazz influenced track, was inspired by Billy Preston, who as well as appearing live with the band during this period is heard on the album playing piano, organ and synthesizer. With its cover shot taken by Hiro, the Japanese fashion photographer, it harks back to album covers from early days of the Stones' career. Remastered and cut at revelatory Half-Speed at Abbey Road Studios from vinyl specific original tape transfers designed to get the very best possible sound from the format. Pressed on heavyweight 180g LP with gatefold packaging.
