Album Description
Tattoo You is another undisputed classic and rightly topped the US charts for nine weeks on its original release in 1981. Its opening track and first single, Start Me Up, remains one of the band's best loved songs and a mainstay of their live set. The cleverly sequenced Tattoo You comprises six rock tracks, including the US Top 20 hit Hang Fire, the fast blues of Black Limousine, Richards' lead vocal on Little T & A, and the sneering Neighbours, but the five ballads which follow - and formed the second side of the original vinyl - really lift it into another league. The sweet soul of Worried About You, Tops and the sublime Waiting On A Friend, featuring jazz great Sonny Rollins on saxophone, in particular show what a fine singer Jagger is. Corriston's cover design won a Grammy Award for best album package.
Album Description
Digitally remastered reissue of the veteran British Rock band's 1981 album. 11 tracks including 'Start Me Up', 'Hang Fire' and 'Black Limousine'.

 Start Me Up, Please November 5, 2009
Alfred Johnson (boston, ma)
Hey, in 2009 no one, including this reviewer, NEEDS to comment on the fact that The Rolling Stones, pound for pound, have over forty plus years earned their place as the number one band in the rock `n' roll pantheon. Still, it is interesting to listen once again to the guys when they were at the height of their musical powers (and as high, most of the time, as Georgia pines). This album from the tail end of their most creative period , moreover, unlike let us say Bob Dylan who has produced more creative work for longer, is the "golden era" of the Stone Age. The album, however, is a little uneven in spots reflecting, I think, a certain exhaustion of material that they could call their totally their own unless the time when they owned a big chunk of rock 'n'roll in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The age of a more sedate music (at least technically) was approaching and I think there was some confusion about whether to embrace it or "spoof" it. Still the "Start Me Up' track, a staple of their live concerts and a great way to rev up the 1960s aging children is a Stones "greatest hits" " number, right? "Worried About You" and "No Use In Crying" are stick outs in this CD. I do not think anything else here qualifies for their "greatest hits" vault.
The Last Great Rolling Stones Album October 27, 2009

Some say that Exile on Main Street is the last great Rolling Stones album, others say it's Some Girls, but Tattoo You is really the last one to have songs which have remained unsurpassed.
Unlike Some Girls and Emotional Rescue, there's not a trace of disco on this one. Infact, the album could be considered as a sequel of sorts to Sticky Fingers. Many of the songs mirror ones from that album. Instead of 'Brown Sugar,' we're given 'Start Me Up,' which was the Stones' best rock single since then. Instead of 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking,' we're given 'Slave,' a jam that also features a superb blend of guitar and saxophone. Indeed, the sax makes its most triumphant return here, courtesy of the great Sonny Rollins and Bobby Keyes. Instead of 'You Gotta Move,' we're given 'Black Limosine,' and so on. Also like Sticky Fingers, Tattoo You features just as many rockers as slow numbers.
To dismiss Tattoo You as simply an album of out-takes is ignorant. It delivers in a way that no other Stones album has been able to since, partly because it is the last one to have that "classic Stones" sound, made better than ever by the 2009 remastering. In addition, it can't be denied that great talent went into the tracks. Tattoo You features no less than 4 amazing gutiarists - Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Wayne Perkins, and Mick Taylor. The book "According to the Rolling Stones" even lists Pete Townshend among the credits (backing vocals on 'Slave'). Perkins does a superb guitar solo on 'Worried About You' and Taylor appears on 'Tops' and 'Waiting on a Friend.'
Considering what came after it (Undercover, Dirty Work, Steel Wheels), it's no wonder that Tattoo You is considered the last great Stones album. Steel Wheels is better than Undercover and Dirty Work, but not great. Voodoo Lounge, while not a complete failure, is littered with filler and Bridges to Babylon has hip-hop overtones in spots. Only until A Bigger Bang did the band finally release an album that was fairly consistent in quality. Tattoo You is definitely worth buying and I also recommend Still Life, an underrated live album from their 1981-1982 tour.

If you love sax, you'll love this album. It's a mellow and sublime CD.
The 2009 Remaster Rocks! August 15, 2009

Great remaster and as another reviewer said, it's all about the Bass and the Drums. Much greater clarity and depth and a noticeable improvement over the 1994 Virgin issues. This is my 5th Stones remaster so far from this 2009 reissue campaign and I haven't been disappointed in any of them so far.
