It’s a very long story but to make it short here we go: In 1984 Mick Jagger released the album “Sticky Buns”, as soon as it was released CBS requested producers Mick Jagger, Bill Laswell, and Nile Rodgers to avoid the distribution, CBS apologized first as they didn’t listen to the tapes Nile sent them but they insisted to avoid the distribution but it was late, some copies were already available on some record stores, so the album was immediately withdrawn, no one knows for sure how many records have survived but most estimate the number to be between two and four copies, placing it among the rarest pieces of Rolling Stones memorabilia. The problem was that the album review by Huntley Pembrooke was already in Rolling Stone Magazine, CBS asked Jann Wenner to do something but Jann told CBS, “Fuck you CBS, will ya? The magazine is already all over the world, 80% of our sales are subscriptions, and for the other 20% the magazine sells faster than hot bread, so it’s late you bastards!”

Here’s the review from Rolling Stone Magazine

...

Later Mick decided to ban some of the worst tracks to be released later in Dirty Work and combined the best tracks of Sticky Buns that was only one track with new material recorded with Bruce Springsteen and released the album “He’s the boss” but wait a minute boy, something happened when Jerry Hall was informed, we don’t know the details but the album title was changed to “She’s the boss”, all the tracks with Bruce Springsteen were not used, and all the tapes were burned to avoid bootleggers doing some illegal money and damaging Mick’s reputation.

Here’s the intended cover and Rolling Stone Magazine (in two sizes to avoid “licking to enlarge”) and the Rolling Stone review of the album

Here are the rankings in All Music if they had been released according to Voo Dude Boy

So that's where "Winning Ugly" and "Back to Zero " were hatched...

Don Knotts may be the policeman figure in "Memo From Turner" and "Schoolboy Blues" as well.

I actually liked some of the Alfie soundtrack material better than Goddess in the Doorway.

Today is the anniversary of "Born in the UK" so it's time to bump this one, I found this hilarious and if you don't it's because you don't smoke the same cigarettes as me
