Amazon.com essential recording
One of the Stones' most beloved albums, 1969's Let It Bleed was a benchmark for several reasons. First, founding guitarist Brian Jones died during the recording process. Second, the Stones take their last significant look at pure blues (Robert Johnson's spooky "Love in Vain") and country ("Country Honk," the two-stepping alter ego of "Honky-Tonk Women") before folding both styles into a cohesive rock & roll vision. Third, it contains some of the band's most eerie hits, such as the flame-enveloped "Gimme Shelter," the drug-reality anthem "Monkey Man," the epic "You Can't Always Get What You Want," and Mick Jagger's menacing "Midnight Rambler." --Steve Knopper

 Goodbye to the love crowd August 7, 2008
Released just before the infamous Altamont debacle of December, 1969, "Let It Bleed" signals farewell to the peace-and-love Sixties in no uncertain terms. Once again, following "Beggars Banquet", an entire year went by until the release of the next Rolling Stones album. That year was 1969, and it had seen the death of Brian Jones, under suspicious circumstances, earlier that summer. Jones is present, posthumously, on "Bleed", participating in both the vicious "Midnight Rambler" (percussion), and "You Got The Silver" (autoharp), the latter track featuring Keith Richards' first solo lead vocal. Jones' replacement, the young Mick Taylor, was firmly in place, playing on "Live With Me" and "Country Honk"; though his relatively-unsullied image did not fit in with the rest of the group, he was probably the best guitarist the band ever had. In Jimmy Miller, who would work with them through 1973, the group also found its finest producer, a man who knew how to get the most out of their once-again-blues-based material. (With a cover of Robert Johnson's "Love In Vain", featuring Ry Cooder on mandolin, the band went straight to the motherlode.) "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is NOT blues, but, recorded with the London Bach Choir, it resonates, mournfully, as an end-of-an-era anthem. The Seventies lay ahead; the Stones, always bad boys and outlaws, were ready.
Great Sound - Great Classic July 3, 2008
If you're wondering which CD of this Stones classic to get, get this one. The digitalized remastering process here sounds almost as good as pristine heavyweight vinyl. And for younger listeners, if you've never heard "Let It Bleed", you're in for a ride. From the first quiet haunting notes of "Gimme Shelter" to the tongue in cheek choral intro and outro of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - with plenty of hard rockin' in between - it's the Stones at one of their all-time peaks.
very good album June 18, 2008
I am a music lover period and The Stones one of the great groups of all time.Had some 45 rmps by them in the sixties and seventys but this is my first album.No complaints here.
Probably the best overall Stones album/cd.... April 17, 2008
Sticky Fingers is close, but for overall quantity of good songs on one disc - this is probably it! Not "knocking" their other disc's (they have plenty of good ones), or individual songs on others - but overall, for number of good rockers/quality tunes on one album I like this one.

Cr@$#!!!!! "Christopher" CRADDOCK, the one-eyed king of Bakersfield says:
"Released on November 28, 1969, this signaled the end of the Summer of Love. Gimmie Shelter, Live With Me, Midnight Rambler, but then the resignation and redemption of You Can't Always Get What You Want."
