Recording
Recording began in November 1982 at Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris, France. There was conflict in the studio between Mick Jagger, who wanted to venture into modern dance styles, and Keith Richards, who wanted a vintage-Stones album. Ronnie Wood wrote "Pretty Beat Up", and reportedly Jagger and Richards were very reluctant to include it on the final album.Release & Aftermath
The album went down well with critics, but failed to spawn any major singles. Many Stones fans see this album as the end of the pure vintage-Stones era.Cover
On the original vinyl there were stickers which, when peeled off, revealed other geometric shapes. The image above shows the CD cover which didn't possess such a feature.Personnel
