 This is one of the greatest of the Stones two-sided monster hits. Well, the B side didn't actually chart, but it's so great it really should have. Presumably, radio just wasn't ready to play a song called "Bitch" yet... though they were prepared by 1975 when Elton John hit the Top 10 with "The Bitch Is Back."
OK, trivia time again... "Brown Sugar" was one of eight #1 U.S. singles by the Stones. The group also had eight chart-toppers in their native England, though over there they garnered all of those hits during the 1960s.
Here is the list of the Stones' #1 U.S. singles:
- (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (1965)
- Get Off My Cloud (1965)
- Paint It, Black (1966)
- Ruby Tuesday (1967)
- Honky Tonk Women (1969)
- Brown Sugar (1971)
- Angie (1973), and
- Miss You (1978)
For comparison's sake, here are their #1 U.K. hits. You'll notice that the group gained monster popularity about a year earlier than they did in the U.S., same as the Beatles.
- It's All Over Now (1964)
- Little Red Rooster (1964)
- The Last Time (1964)
- (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (1965)
- Get Off My Cloud (1965)
- Paint It, Black (1966)
- Jumpin' Jack Flash (1968)
- Honky Tonk Women (1969)
This release had many variants on label typesetting, content, and text placement. This is a vinyl pressing with "Side One" (all caps) on the right side of the A label. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels and Vinyl, but the grooves retain pristine Mint audio!
