Seen as we're on the subject of the Stones, this is one of their albums I bought a few weeks ago.
![[Image: album-The-Rolling-Stones-Black-and-Blue.jpg]](http://www.amiright.com/album-covers/images/album-The-Rolling-Stones-Black-and-Blue.jpg)
All songs written and composed by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, except where noted.
1. Hot Stuff
2. Hand Of Fate
3. Cherry Oh Baby
4. Memory Motel
5. Hey Negrita
6. Fool To Cry
7. Crazy Mama
8. Melody (Inspiration By Billy Preston)
Not exactly one of their essential releases with this album at times leaning into serious disco-territory rather than the blues-rock that made them famous. Most of the tracks on the album are unmemorable despite the album's first single 'Fool To Cry' being a top ten hit in the UK.
This is one of the few and the earliest Stones record I own with the others being 'Voodoo Lounge' ('94), 'Stripped' (live comp album) & 'Bigger Band' (2005)- all of which I don't really rate above average. Been meaning to get some of their much earlier 60s blues/psychedelic rock albums which would be a fairer point on which to judge.

It's all the same."- Terry Allen 'Back to Black' 1996[URL="http://www.last.fm/user/mirrorball95"]
