Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Nice condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

All the songs work well, illustrating just how far they've traveled in their songcraft, as well as their exceptional talent as a band. Sliding out of the greatest winning streak in rock history, the Stones slipped into decadence & rock star excess with Goats Head Soup, their sequel to Exile on Main St. As Jagger plays the devil (or, dances with Mr. D), the sex & sleaze quotient is increased, all of it underpinned by some genuinely affecting heartbreak, highlighted by "Angie." The extra layer of gloss brings out the enunciated lyrics, added strings, wah-wah guitars, explicit sex, & violence, making it all seem trippily decadent. All the songs work well, illustrating just how far they've traveled in their songcraft, as well as their exceptional talent as a band -- they make this all sound really easy & darkly alluring. To top it all of, they cap off this utterly excessive album with "Star Star," a nasty Chuck Berry rip that grooves on its own mean vulgarity. They never again made something this dirty or nasty -- it never feels more at home than it does at the end of this excessive record.
