THIS IS ONE OF THE OVER 500 VINYL RECORD ALBUMS IN MY COLLECTION. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY REMAKES ON VINYL, THEY ARE ALL ON THEIR ORIGINAL LABEL. THIS SPLENIDD RECORD BY THE ROLLING STONES IS ON THE FANTASTIC BLUE LONDON LABEL AND IS IN GOOD SHAPE. I LOVE THE ROLLING STONES UNTIL 1971!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the beatles copied the stones!! come onWas this review helpful? Yes - NoOkay album
The stones are definately not better than the Beatles. The Stones are a better rock group, but the beatles were had better virsitility.
The beatles were not a pure rock group. This Album's best song is the title track "Well we all need someone to..." This is a decent album but it is not great half the songs are good the rest are not. Even though the critics like it i dont particularly. For the stones best check out some girls or sticky fingers.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoPretty good
It has blues, rock, country. You Can't Always Get What You Want is pure crap, but the rest is okay.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoBleed on the tracks
By 1969, Brian Jones had blown it. The Rolling Stones were aching to take their new music out on the road to an audience willing to listen, but Jones was no longer merely a problem, but a liability. So, Keith and Mick rolled one up for old times sake and subsequently fired Jones, then hired Mick Taylor in the second guitar spot. Of course, this was merely a formality as by this stage Jones barely turned up for recording sessions anymore. Not that it mattered, as Keith Richards and Mick Jagger finding themselves a rich, creative vein, took complete control of The Rolling Stones.
Drugs and stardom had yet to take their toll, and "Let It Bleed" was another watershed moment in their career.
As with "Beggars Banquet", The Stones set the pace with a Top Ten single not even featured on the album. "Honky Tonk Woman" introduced Mick Taylor to audiences and was an odd bit of joy in a period that would be defined by some of the darkest Stones songs written. In fact, the lead off track on "Let It Bleed" was the frightening prophetic "Gimme Shelter", telling listeners that "war, children, was just a shot away". With the US involvment in Vietnam growing like a cancer and Altamont a mere few months away, "Gimme Shelter" predicts the end of the Woodstock Dream and it's transition into a decade of excess.
Things don't get much cheerier, as the Stones take us on a musical journey of all things dark and desperate, from "Let It Bleed"'s
"jaded, faded, junkie nurse" to Albert DiSalvo himself in "Midnight Rambler" (the version here is tame when compared to the incendiary live cut on "Get Your Ya-Ya's Out"). Perhaps the ultimate statement of fatalism comes at the end of "Let It Bleed" with "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Mick and Keith spin a familiar tale of broken hearts, drug addiction, and the affirmation of little victories such as friendship.
The Rolling Stones themselves would fall victim to the rot they sing of on "Let It Bleed" as drug abuse and the pitfalls of stardom took their toll. With "Let It Bleed" the band had the courage to see things as they were in 1968/69, pehaps looking deeper into themselves and their generation than they had expected to.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoLet it Bleed
This album starts off with "Gimme Shelter".
That alone should tell you enough, but the other tracks are too excellent not to mention.
Track 2, "Love in Vain" a truly classic rendition of a song by a true classic, Robert Johnson. Then comes "Country Honk", the first version of "Honky Tonk Woman". If you wanna rock, "Live With Me" is an adrenaline pumper with a nasty little guitar riff, and a blistering sax solo. Every track is memorable.
That is why it is one of the top four.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoRE:BEATLES ARE THE COPIERS
OOOOOOOh! Mr. Paul the builder(his real name is Paul
Phukaman)You get me soooooo hard when you sound so intelligent. Did you just recently find out that information about Let it be and Let it bleed? Please, teach me more you sexy man. I promise you I will let you lick my nuts.

ED CEAMOREBUTTSWas this review helpful? Yes - NoREALLY THE BEST
The perfect album. I've listen to more than 500 albums in my still very young life,and this one would rank for sure in my top 10.
It's the absolute Stones album, and one of the absolute of all time.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoDave Matthews Band fans should hear this
The reason I say this is because Dave Matthews Band got some of their biggest influences from the rolling stones. You can hear saxaphone, piano, and acoustic guitar on this album, and all these are influences on DMB. Pink floyd is another band Dave got his influence from, its very evident in all of dave matthews band music. The rolling stones and pink floyd are what got me into DMB, but thats beside the point, This is an exellent album, in my opinion probably their best ever made, but I'm no music superman, its just an opinion, so in closing, i love the rolling stones and this album is exellent.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoLet It Rock and Let It Roll!!!
Let It Bleed is one of the Stones greatest LPs!
What 'ooief' fails to realize is that the Beatles and the Stones were actually close friends with playful rivalries. John has mentioned in interviews that he used to hang out with Mick, Keith, and Brian all the time throughout the late 60s, and even cameoed on a few Stones tunes ( Dandelion, Child of the Moon ). Besides, as all true Beatle fans know, John Lennon playfully made fun of Mick's singing style on the 'Let It Be' LP's 'Dig It' track where John sings "Like a Rolling Stoh-own, Like a Rolling Stoh-own..." in a very Jaggerish kind of a way. And also sings "I Roll a Stone, where you can immitate everyone you know," in 'Dig a Pony'. So, is it so blasphemous for the Stones to playfully poke fun back at their friends in the Beatles"?
As for the LP's content, it is the 2nd album of the Stones true Classic years ( 1968's 'Beggar's Banquet' to half-of-1973's 'Goat's Head Soup' ) when the Rolling Stones truely were the Rolling Stones.
Tracks like 'Gimme Shelter', 'Country Honk', 'Live With Me', 'Let It Bleed', 'Monkey Man', and ESPECIALLY the rollicking classic 'Midnight Rambler' make me want to suck on Marlboro reds, and a bottle of J.D., and strum on a Fender Telecaster Allllll Night Long!!!
My only complaint is that the song arrangement, is a seemingly random mish-mash of country/hick -yet cool-accoustic tunes and electric Rockers in a sort of non ordered order.
'Let It Bleed' also marks the exit of Stones founding Father/
Master-multi-instrumental
ist Brian Jones, and the entry of guitarist-extroadiaire Mick Taylor.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoHow dare this band make fun o' the beatl
Let It Be is a great song by the beatles it has meaning. This is a bad time in history, the last thing people wanted to hear was Let it Bleed!!!

Was this review helpful? Yes - NoThe perfect companion...
This album is the perfect Friday night companion for a bottle of J.D., a fat hog leg, and a super hot chick. However; it goes down just as fine on a Saturday morning all by itself. Obviously you "one star" wonders wouldn't know what I am talking about.
Definitely one of fine "Bordeaux" of Rock and Roll.
Excellent, timeless album.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoRe: its great and terrible at the same t
I couldn't of have said it better myself. The album should of been called LET IT ROT.ROTTEN PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT BELONGS IN THE DUSTBIN
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoIts great and terrible at the same time!
The Rolling Stones are ok but some of their songs stink. The song Gimmie Shelter was a great for opening the album. The following song after that was Love in Vain. That song was lame old central.Country Honk had a fun beat to listen to. Live with Me is the worst song on the album. What is Mick Jagger trying to really prove here? (besides getting trying to get a girl to go to bed with him)Let it Bleed was not bad at all. Midnight Rambler was extremely annoying.You Got The Silver was pretty dull. Monkey Man had some radical singing from Mick Jagger. To top it off, the last song was You Can't Always Get What You Want. It was the best song on there.
Was this review helpful? Yes - Nothe best album ever
there are no place for Abbey road vs Let it bleed, the Sucker Beatles were a honney,let it bleed is Rock and Roll in the most perfect expression!!!!
Was this review helpful? Yes - No#3 on my Stones list
A classic by any means. Love In Vain didnt do anything for me and Country Honk sucks, but the rest of it is terrific. Gives me an extra jolt because you know they were really living what they were singing about. My favorite song on the album is actually Midnight Rambler(great to listen to at nite, makes you feel like someone is stalking you) Like No expectations on B.B., You got the Silver is the albums tear-jerker. Something for everyone. #3 on my Stones album list.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoThis Album Is Perfection
One of the stones appeal was that they teatered on the brink of 'Messidom'...so to say this album was not as perfect as Abbey Road well...duh... but what is most striking about it is the way it ushered in the 70's rock scean...how many bands can you think of is a rehash of 'Live with Me?'...say ZZtop, Skynard,
and the like... you can't say that the stones followed the 'Beatles'...they were friends and i'm sure they were feeding off of eachother more then you think...they were not by any means 'Rivals'... Let It Bleed was the pinacle of rock up to that point and when writing alot of the songs for this album in the winter of '68 through the summer of '69 no one in the stones camp or the Beatles had any clue how prophetic and ominous this album was destined to become... Brian Jones did play auto harp on certain songs but with Rye Cooder and Nicky Hopkins as the backup session players how can any one say this is anything but perfection...? (i mean other then a bunch of under 20 dip-
ey just do...but i'm too much of a moron to give any valid reason other then to let you know how much of a complete 'blow' i can be when you don't know who i am or what i look like'... the true fans will take a lot more to derail their train then anything you 'haters' can possibly fathom in your ADD little Gen Y domes...F*ckers... go away!Was this review helpful? Yes - Nothe truth
The FIRST classic. This could be considered the Prototype Stones album. Acoustic/electric, Keith singing, bawdiness along with mystical badness. This, Black and Blue and Stick Fingers are the 3 best and THATS THE TRUTH! Buy them you will thank me.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoBest Stones Album
Let It Bleed is the best Stones album ever (followed by Sticky Fingers). Not a bad song on it, they're still being played on contemporary rock stations today. Gimme Shelter, Let It Bleed, Monkey Man, You Can't Always Get What You Want (with the TERRIFIC choral arrangement)....they're all classics. But my favorite back to back combo was, and is, Country Honk (more fun than the single version) and the rarely mentioned Live With Me, which was deliciously sinful in 1969 for a young teen whose parents couldn't understand the lyrics. It's still the best song on the CD! As with many other bands of that time, the Stones peaked in that late sixties, early seventies period. I can't even listen to anything recorded after Goats Head Soup.
(By the way, of course the Stones copied the Beatles in the sixties, balancing their "peace & love" with something a little darker. But it was all tongue in cheek and Jagger & Co. basically admitted it at the time. And yes, the title was a play on the Let It Be album, which was originally recorded more than a year before its release.)Was this review helpful? Yes - NoLet It Bleed - Rolling Stones
Probably the greatest white blues album ever recorded, Midnight Rambler and Gimmie Shelter speak for themselves. The choral arrangements on You Can't Always Get What You Want are superb and remove it from an average Rolling Stones song into a class of it's own. Love In Vain - a mans cry for his lost love as she leaves on a train. Live With Me - a personal favorite. I have touched very lightly on the album, If your into the blues than you cannot go passed The Rolling Stones, Especially -Let It Bleed- May it live forever in the history of rock-n-roll.

finest piece of work by Mick and Keith.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoMike0870uk deludes himself!!!
OK mother
Continuing with this train of thought, the beatles were not running out of ideas in let it be, because ABBEY ROAD was their last album recorded which turned out to be their best work and better, and I repeat BETTER THEN ANY STONES RECORD. Let it be was not supposed to be released anyway until Phil Spector put his damn hands on it.
Thirdly, you are one dumb MOTHER

Hey mike, I just have one question for you? Do you know anything about the stones from the 1971-1978 period? You always say that they are the greatest band in the world. If you think so, why don't you judge their albums from the 70's. I don't undertand how you say that you hate the sixties, but you like the sixties' stones. I don't give a
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoHoolgan deludes himself (again!)
You really have lost the plot this time, my friend? You ALWAYS maintain the Stones copied the Beatles, but once again you've shot yourself in the foot with that big mouth of yours.
You say the Stones ripped off the title of the Beatles' LET IT BE (THE LAMEST ALBUM EVER RECORDED) for LET IT BLEED. Well let me explain to you, you
So it must follow that the Beatles copied the Stones when they titled their last album. This is true evidence of a band running out of creative potential, as the Stones embarked on their most creative phase yet, of which LET IT BLEED signalled the beginning!
Caught you out again, didn't I???!!!Was this review helpful? Yes - No
