Live Licks from the Rolling Stones

The Live Licks double album from the Rolling Stones garnered lukewarm-to-poor reviews on release a couple of years ago, and it’s now retailing at a giveaway £5.

Despite the omens, it’s a surprisingly strong album and an absolute must-have at that price. CD1 has the usual stadium crowd-pleasers, but CD2 consists entirely of semi-rarities.

If you’re a Stones fan, you need Live Licks. It comes in two different sleeves – on one the rock chick animation is wearing a bikini; on the other, she’s discarded the top half. Ooooh, those saucy Stones - still rebels after all these years.
