December's Children
Years ago, I picked up a used vinyl copy for like 5 bucks; it's scratched to absolute hell but still sounds great, with no skips. I think it's a brilliant little record, and I don't need to hear the hits again -- first four tracks are such classic under-the-radar early Stones, one after another (Singer, Not The Song brings that momentum to an instant halt). But it's that live version of Route 66 that gets me -- such a filthy little cut with Keith absolutely on fire; seriously, inject that one straight into my veins so I can get high on PURE ROCK'N'ROLL!
