#104 The Rolling Stones, 'Sticky Fingers' (1971)

This album was the first to be released on the Stones’ own label after their deal with Decca Records lapsed. It was also the first record to fully feature Mick Taylor on guitar and the first without any contributions whatsoever from founding member, Brian Jones, who died two years before this. The album was a back to basics for the band, with Mick Taylor Jazz and Country influences being felt throughout. The band is more free on this record; not only had they left their label, but they’d also parted ways with manager, Allen Klein.
