Listen No. 23 - Love You Live by The Rolling Stones

Record number 23: Love You Live by The Rolling Stones

Genre: Rock 

Context: A live double album of concert material from 1975-77, and released in 1977. Some of the material is overdubbed. 

Notable facts: Cover art is by Andy Warhol. Mick Jagger then added the yellow letters, which didn’t please Warhol. For more on Warhol and albums (I wasn’t aware of this side of his work), read this.

My favourite track: Get Off Of My Cloud 

What critics made of it: check out this review, from 1977

Listening to this inspired me to: maybe have a break from the Stones now as I’ve covered 4 records of theirs for this project. And Let It Bleed remains my definite favourite. So I’ll be returning to this one when I next feel like some Stones.
