Bought it as a birthday gift for my dad, only had a short listen and my facit is: Not quite my cup of coffee.

I'm afraid I have to agree. It would be interesting to know what your Dad thinks of it.

I don't know how old John is but like him I grew up with the Stones. Mick Jagger is a few months younger than me. The rhythm guitarist in my group & his wife used to babysit for Charlie Watts before they were married. I always preferred the raw sound of their first albums as this reflects the excitement of the sixties when I was young. These were basically live recordings of their stage act at the time, flaws & all. I doubt it took more than a few days to record a complete album. They might be more experienced musicians now but they're no longer young & recording is so much more technical & expensive these days.

Hagar,

Aha... another lurking musician, I see.

He's a huge Stones fan. 'Nuff said.
