The culmination of what the Stones are all about. And to think these great American songs were written by two British, London-born, blokes.

Should anybody be in doubt about the Stones' status as "the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world", play them this.

Where the Stones find their definitive blues-rock identity, for the first time. And first times are often the best.

From "Gimme shelter"s ominous intro to the last fading notes of "You can't always get what you want", this, along with the Beatles' "Abbey Road", is the sound of the 1960s, and with them a whole era, coming to an end.

The album that proved Jagger-Richards could compete with their peers songwriting-wise. And Brian Jones is on a roll as poly-instrumentalist.

While still delivering the goods, the Stones had lost a little of their, let's say, vitality after "Exile...". Here, endangered by punk and disco, is where they found it again.

Trawling through their archives of the past decade, finishing some stuff, recording a couple of new tracks, the Stones come up with what may well be their last great album. In two halves: one up-tempo, one comprising ballads.

Arguably the blackest record (in the funky sense of the word) ever released by a white British band. A groovy transitional album.
