It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (Half Speed Master)

Produced by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards under their Glimmer Twins guise, It's Only Rock 'n' Roll was another number one album in the US in 1974, and contains two hit singles, the title track and a great reworking of an old motown favourite, the Temptations' Ain't Too Proud to Beg. Guy Peellaert's fin de sicle sleeve beautifully captures the mood of the times. Mick Taylor ended his tenure with some wonderful guitar work on time waits for no one while his eventual replacement Ronnie Wood hosted the sessions for It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It), a concert favourite to this day.
