Originally issued in 1973, Goats Head Soup was another Transatlantic chart-topper. Recording started at Byron Lee's Dynamic Sound Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, in late 1972 and was completed in London and Los Angeles the following year. Packaged in another iconic sleeve shot by photographer David Bailey, it's fondly remembered for the ballad Angie, a US number one, and the swear words on the raunchy closer Star Star. The ominous opener Dancing With Mr. D, the funky Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) and the gorgeous Winter have been a tad overshadowed by the rest of the group's mighty canon and are well worth rediscovering.

Goats Head Soup

It's like when we went to Jamaica to cut Goats Head Soup. Everyone immediately assumed the Stones are going to do a reggae album. But influences come through so much slower than that.
