-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-
THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
On this day in 1974, The Rolling Stones LP “It's Only Rock 'n Roll” re-entered the UK Albums Chart at #39 (December 21)
The album re-entered the charts after peaking at #2 the previous month (November 9), and dropping out of the charts the previous week (December 14).
It was the last Rolling Stones album to feature guitarist Mick Taylor.
Taylor allegedly made songwriting contributions to this one, (as he claimed with the previous album “Goats Head Soup”), but on the album jacket, all original songs were credited to Jagger/Richards.
Taylor said in 1997:
"I did have a falling out with Mick Jagger over some songs I felt I should have been credited with co-writing on It's Only Rock 'n Roll.
We were quite close friends and co-operated quite closely on getting that album made.
By that time Mick and Keith weren't really working together as a team so I'd spend a lot of time in the studio."
Jagger grudgingly admitted in a 1995 Rolling Stone interview about "Time Waits for No One" that Taylor "maybe threw in a couple of chords".
Belgian painter Guy Peellaert did the cover art, and also did the cover for Bowie’s “Diamond Dogs” the same year.
“It's Only Rock 'n Roll” marked the Stones' first effort in the producer's chair since “Their Satanic Majesties Request” in 1967, and the first for Jagger and Richards under their pseudonym "The Glimmer Twins".
Ronnie Wood, a long-time acquaintance of the band, began to get closer to the Rolling Stones during the recording sessions after he invited Mick Taylor to play on his debut solo album, “I've Got My Own Album to Do”.
Wood eventually became Taylor’s replacement in the Stones.
The title track, which went on to become a staple of the band’s live set list, was recorded separately from the rest of the album.
The basic rhythm track had been laid down by members of the Faces, including Wood and drummer Kenney Jones, during a jam session with Jagger, David Bowie, and bassist Willie Weeks.
Jagger liked the song so much that he brought the basic track to Richards, who added some guitar overdubs, and after some polishing, it was put on the album as-is.
Taylor, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman are all featured miming playing the song in sailor suits in the video, but didn’t play on the actual recording!
On the charts, the album went all the way to #1 in the US, #2 in the UK, #3 in Norway and Sweden, #5 in Canada and the Netherlands, #6 in Austria and Italy, #7 in Australia, #9 in Finland, #12 in Germany, and #29 in Japan.
