IF YOU TRY 

ACTING SAD

YOU'LL ONLY 

MAKE ME GLAD

 Metamorphosis

is the third

compilation album of

 The Rolling Stones

music released by 

former manager 

Allen Klein's 

ABKCO Records 

who gained control

 of the band's 

Decca/London material

 in 1970 

after the band's 

departure from 

Decca and Klein. 

Released in 1975, 

Metamorphosis

centres on outtakes

 and alternate versions 

of well-known songs 

recorded from 

1964 to 1970.

History

After the release of

Hot Rocks 1964–1971

in 1971, 

an album titled

Necrophilia

was compiled with

 the aid of 

Andrew Loog Oldham

for release as a 

follow-up compilation, 

featuring many 

previously unreleased

 (or, more accurately, discarded) 

outtakes from

 the Rolling Stones' 

Decca/London period.

 While that project failed

 to materialise with 

More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies)

being released

 in its place

most of the

 unreleased songs 

were held over 

for a future project.

In February 1974,

 to give it an 

air of authority, 

Bill Wyman

involved himself

 in compiling an album

 he entitled

Black Box. 

However, 

Allen Klein 

wanted more

Mick Jagger/Keith Richards songs

 in the project

 for monetary reasons, 

and Wyman's version

 remained unreleased.

Metamorphosis

was issued

 in its place.

Wyman's original picks 

for the record 

were as follows:

• "Bright Lights Big City"
• "Cops and Robbers"
• "I'd Much Rather Be With the Boys"
• "Little Red Rooster" (Live)
• "Down the Road Apiece" (Live)
• "Don't Lie to Me"
• "If You Let Me"
• "Godzi"
• "Panama Powder Room"
• "Gold Painted Nails"
• "Fannie Mae"
• "Down in the Bottom"

"Godzi"

 and

 "Panama Powder Room" 

were instrumentals 

from the

Between the Buttons sessions 

and have never been released. 

They were recorded at 

RCA Studios, Hollywood in August 1966.

Most tracks that appear 

on side one 

of the vinyl album

 are demos,

 written by 

Jagger and Richards

 for other artists

 to perform. 

Some were recorded with

 session musicians

 like 

Big Jim Sullivan

on guitar, 

Clem Cattini

on drums, 

and 

Jimmy Page 

on guitar, 

and were not intended

 for release by

 the Rolling Stones.

 Indeed, 

on most of these tracks

 the only 

Rolling Stone

 who appears is Jagger. 

"Out of Time"

 and

 "Heart of Stone" 

were well-known 

Stones songs 

that appear here

 in drastically

 different renditions, 

with session players

 providing the backing. 

Side two

 includes unreleased 

band recordings 

up until

 the Sticky Fingers sessions

 of 1970.

With some speculation that

 "I'd Much Rather Be With the Boys"

 had a

 homosexual subtext,

 the Toggery Five version 

changed the lyric to 

"I'd rather be out with the boys." 

An alternate version of 

"Memo from Turner" 

includes 

Brian Jones on guitar 

and has a

 looser vibe 

than the

 Mick Jagger solo single 

from the soundtrack album 

of the 1970 film

Performance.

Released in 

May 1975, 

Metamorphosis 

came out the same day

 as the band's

 authorised hits collection 

Made in the Shade 

and was also seen 

to be cashing in on

 the Rolling Stones' 

summer Tour 

of the Americas. 

While the critical reception

 was lukewarm, 

Metamorphosis

still managed to

 reach No. 8

 in the US, 

though it only made

 No. 45 

in the UK. 

Two singles, 

"Out of Time"

 featuring Jagger 

singing over the

 same backing track 

(with strings)

 used for 

Chris Farlowe's

 1966 version

 and a cover of 

Stevie Wonder's

 "I Don't Know Why" 

briefly made the singles charts.

Upon its initial release, 

Metamorphosis 

was released with

 16 songs in the UK, 

while the American edition

 had only 14

  omitting 

"Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind" 

and 

"We're Wastin' Time".

The album's cover art

 plays off the title 

with a 

human/insect 

motif alluding to

Franz Kafka's 

The Metamorphosis,

 and includes images of 

both 

Brian Jones

 and his replacement 

Mick Taylor.

A HOLE IN MY PANTS

The Rolling Stones : Black and Blue (Super Deluxe Edition)

DADDY, YOU'RE A FOOL TO CRY

YOU'RE A FOOL TO CRY

AND IT MAKES ME WONDER WHY

 The World’s Greatest 

Rock and Roll Band

 was in a 

period of transition. 

 In December 1974, 

guitarist 

Mick Taylor

 announced he was 

leaving The Rolling Stones. 

 The Stones had already 

weathered the loss of 

Brian Jones in 1969

 and now they were, 

once again, 

without a guitarist.  

The sound of music was changing, too, 

with the rise of punk

 and disco

 even as prog 

and 

heavy rock remained 

entrenched on the charts. 

Where did that leave

 the band who had 

just proclaimed

 “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (But I Like It)” 

on their 1974 album? 

 The answer would be 

found on 1976’s 

Black and Blue, 

an album which today 

remains somewhat

 lost in the shuffle 

coming between

 It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll

 and 1978’s 

Some Girls.  

Now, 

Black and Blue has returned 

in a brand-new remix

 by the prolific

 Steven Wilson, 

available in a variety of formats 

Black and Blue

 is the sound of a band

 working to rediscover itself. 

 Keith Richards 

took on the lion’s share

 of the guitar work 

after Taylor’s departure

 while the group 

“auditioned” others.  

Guitar heroes

 Jeff Beck, 

Harvey Mandel, 

Robert A. Johnson, 

and 

Wayne Perkins

 all contributed

 to the sessions, 

as did Faces’ 

Ronnie Wood.  

Having previously

 inspired and played

 on the title track of

 1974’s 

It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll 

and toured with

 the band in 1975, 

Wood was 

uniquely positioned.  

He played on

 three songs

 on 

Black and Blue

 “Cherry Oh Baby,” 

“Hey Negrita,” 

and

 “Crazy Mama”

and was introduced on 

the album’s release date

 (and its cover photograph) 

as an official member 

 a position he

 holds to this day.  

He seamlessly joined 

Richards, 

Mick Jagger,

 Charlie Watts,

 and 

Bill Wyman

 in the lineup

The band’s second album

 to be co-produced by 

Jagger and Richards

 as

 The Glimmer Twins, 

Black and Blue

 featured the Stones’

 trademark blend of 

blues and rock 

alongside reggae, 

jazz, 

soul, 

and funk influences.  

Percussionist/drummer 

Ollie Brown

 and pianist

 Ian Stewart 

were on hand alongside

 Billy Preston, 

whose piano 

and/or organ 

could be heard on

 six of the LP’s 

eight original tracks, 

and another longtime 

Stones keyboardist pal, 

Nicky Hopkins.  

Jagger and Richards 

contributed all of the songs

 save for the cover of

 Jamaican singer 

Eric Donaldson’s 

“Cherry Oh Baby.”

Black and Blue

 flirted with the fusion of 

disco and rock on

 the opening

 “Hot Stuff.”   

Though little more than an 

extended riff on

 the title phrase, 

it anticipated Some Girls‘ 

chart-topping

 “Miss You” 

which proved the Stones

 could rule the dancefloor

 without sacrificing their

 musical integrity. 

 Even better was 

“Hand of Fate,” 

a western-evoking,

 murder-themed rocker

 in the tried-and-true 

Stones style with 

perhaps the album’s

 strongest hook.

The Glimmer Twins 

cooked up a lengthy,

 sentimental ode with 

“Memory Motel,”

 a bittersweet paean to

 faded remembrances of

 lovers past 

“You’re just a sweet memory/

And it used to mean so much to me…”)  

Distinguishing the track is a rare, 

shared lead vocal from

 Mick and Keith. 

 The deep-soul ballad

 “Fool to Cry” 

shimmers in 

Steven Wilson’s new mix, 

bringing subtle detail 

to the fore

 in both the band 

performance

 (including Wayne Perkins’ guitar solo) 

and Jagger’s deeply-felt lead.

Ronnie Wood

 inspired the 

down-and-dirty 

“Hey Negrita,” 

another loose, 

riff-based jam 

with lyrics taking a 

backseat to the 

Latin-tinged funk. 

 A dash of reggae 

could also be heard on

 “Hey Negrita,”

 Deluxe Black and Blue 

continues with a short 

bonus disc 

or EP

 (mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent) 

which opens with

 two outtakes. 

 “I Love Ladies” 

has Jagger deploying

 his best falsetto

 while the track channels

 a bit of a Philly 

soul vibe

 in its crisp intro, 

as well.

  A storming and

 funky cover of 

Shirley and Company’s

 1974 disco smash 

“Shame, Shame, Shame” 

once again shows

 the Stones meeting

 the dancefloor 

on their own terms.

Four instrumental jams

 round out the disc.  

The “Chuck Berry Style Jam” 

with Harvey Mandel 

pays homage to the 

rock and roll pioneer 

with recognizably 

Berry-esque licks

 and appropriately 

pounding piano.  

Ronnie Wood’s 

old pal

 Jeff Beck 

is heard on 

three tracks, 

among the most coveted

 to see official release.  

On

 “Rotterdam,” 

he trades licks with

 Richards and 

Robert A. Johnson.  

It’s a boisterous and 

spirited high-energy jam 

anchored by the 

versatile 

Charlie Watts’ drums. 

The slow-burning scorcher 

“Blues Jam” 

finds Beck in 

purely dazzling mode 

as he plays with his 

volume knobs in

 lyrical mode 

over the primitive 

blues rhythm.  

A version of 

Jeff Beck Group 

keyboardist 

Max Middleton’s

 “Freeway Jam”

 appears here, too; 

while 

Charlie Watts sounds 

right and home 

with its jazz modes, 

the Stones jam

 failed to ignite 

the magic of the 

recording included on 

Beck’s own, 

George Martin-produced

 1975 album 

Blow by Blow.  

Fascinating though they are, 

these jams are unlikely 

to have much repeat value

 (unlike the two strong outtakes);

 some alternate takes 

of the album’s songs 

might have fleshed

 this disc out.

Far more exciting

 is the live material

 included in 

the Super Deluxe sets. 

The 2-CD 

concert album 

Live at Earls Court 1976

 has been sourced

 from the band’s 

six-night May ’76 

residency at the 

(now-demolished) 

Earls Court Exhibition Centre

 in London 

and mixed by 

Declan Gafney.  

Black and Blue 

guests 

Billy Preston, 

Ian Stewart, 

and 

Ollie Brown 

joined the Stones

 for the concerts. 

 In addition to 

the expected old favorites

 (but no “Satisfaction”), 

the setlist includes

 “Fool to Cry,” 

“Hey Negrita,” 

“Hot Stuff,” 

and

 “Hand of Fate”

 as well as exciting 

Preston solo spots 

on his 

1974 chart-topper 

“Nothing from Nothing”

 and 1971 hit

 “Outa-Space.

”Black and Blue 

tends to be

 overshadowed by

 the albums

 which came directly 

before and after. 

 If its songcraft isn’t as 

uniformly strong as 

those albums

 or the Stones’ finest,

 it remains a testament to the joy

 they found in playing 

together and with friends. 

 The new Super Deluxe Edition

 is short on revealing 

studio material 

despite the electrifying 

presence of 

Jeff Beck 

 but strong on

 live music 

and presentation. 

 There’s no 

shame, shame, shame

 in that.
