'Think I'm Going Mad', another song from the sessions, was released as the B-side to 'She Was Hot' in 1984. Some other songs left off the album would find their way onto the next album, Tattoo You ('Black Limousine', 'Start Me Up', 'Hang Fire', 'Little T&A', and 'No Use in Crying'). The song was eventually released as part of the deluxe version of Some Girls in 2011. The lyrics dealt with the light sentence (30 days in jail) singer-actress Claudine Longet received after she killed her live-in boyfriend, Olympian ski racer Vladimir 'Spider' Sabich, in their Aspen, Colorado home. The song 'Claudine' was rumored to be a part of the original album, but didn't make the cut most likely due to the fear of litigation and controversy. While several of the tracks featured just the core band of Jagger, Richards, Ronnie Wood, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman, keyboardists Nicky Hopkins and co-founder Ian Stewart, sax player Bobby Keys and harmonica player Sugar Blue joined the Rolling Stones on Emotional Rescue. Fresh from the revitalization of Some Girls, Richards and Mick Jagger led the Stones through dozens of new songs, some of which were held over for Tattoo You, picking only ten for Emotional Rescue. Recorded throughout 1979, first in Nassau, Bahamas (Compass Point), then Paris (Pathe Marconi), with some end-of-year overdubbing in New York City, Emotional Rescue was the first Rolling Stones album recorded following Keith Richards' exoneration from a Toronto drugs charge that could have landed him in jail for years. Upon release, it topped the charts in both the US and UK. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted the Rolling Stones in 1989, noting that 'critical acclaim and popular consensus has accorded them the title of the ΓÇ£WorldΓÇÖs Greatest Rock and Roll Band.ΓÇ¥ Rolling Stone magazine ranked them 4th on their '100 Greatest Artists of All Time' list, and their album sales are estimated to have been more than 200 million worldwide.Įmotional Rescue is the 15th British and 17th American studio album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1980. Longtime regular bassist Darryl Jones and keyboardist Chuck Leavell are not full band members. Jones founded and led the band, but Jagger and Richards assumed leadership after becoming the band's primary songwriters, as Jones' physical and mental troubles gradually incapacitated him prior to his drowning death in 1969. Since Wyman's retirement in 1993, the band's full members have been Jagger, Richards, Watts and guitarist Ronnie Wood who joined in 1975, replacing Mick Taylor (who followed Jones). The first settled line-up consisted of Brian Jones on guitar and harmonica, Ian Stewart on piano, Mick Jagger on lead vocals, harmonica and maracas, Keith Richards on guitar and vocals, Bill Wyman on bass and Charlie Watts on drums. The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. The Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue 2009]
