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." Note: This beautiful, Near Mint copy comes in a Rolling Stones "tongue" sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound.\r\n
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.\r\n
Here is the list of the Stones' #1 U.S. singles:\r\n
\r\n- (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (1965)\r\n
- Get Off My Cloud (1965)\r\n
- Paint It, Black (1966)\r\n
- Ruby Tuesday (1967)\r\n
- Honky Tonk Women (1969)\r\n
- Brown Sugar (1971)\r\n
- Angie (1973), and\r\n
- Miss You (1978)\r\n
\r\nFor 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.\r\n\r\n
\r\n- It's All Over Now (1964)\r\n
- Little Red Rooster (1964)\r\n
- The Last Time (1964)\r\n
