My mother owned the cassette tape (image 4), and I remember coming across it now and then as a kid, while roaming our large, quiet house. I was fascinated. That cover. Who was that? In my imagination, it was a demon: a sater, Pan himself. A Rock God. He belonged to a forbidden world that I only heard rumors about: the adult world, where people had sex and smoked and drank. Tattoo You is The Stones’ best album, and it’s made out of rejects and leftovers. But each song is different, dark: and seductive, and unfinished. The music kind of floats, wavers, it’s not seeking an audience, just slowly hatching from a weird, painted egg. The cover, by Peter Corriston, completes it. The best songs in my opinion are “Slave”, “No Use in Crying”, “Tops”, and “Heaven”. The last one especially. Ghostly, hypnotic.
