Editorial Review:
First issued in 1980, Emotional Rescue was a transatlantic chart-topper and its infectious title track made the best-sellers list too. Recorded in Nassau in the Bahamas, in Paris and in New York, and produced by Jagger and Richards under their Glimmer Twins guise, it also contains the classic rocker She's So Cold, which went Top 40 in both the UK and the US, and Dance (Pt 1), another groove-oriented track, which was a club hit in the States. The bittersweet ballad All About You features one of Richards' most affecting vocal performances as well as Bobby Keys' distinctive saxophone. Corriston used a thermo camera to create the album's unusual cover, and drew on the same technique for the Emotional Rescue video.
Emotional Rescue Reviews:
Rescue, Partially 
2009-11-05 - Hey, in 2009 no one, including this reviewer, NEEDS to comment on the fact that The Rolling Stones, pound for pound, have over forty plus years earned their place as the number one band in the rock `n' roll pantheon. Still, it is interesting to listen once again to the guys when they were at the height of their musical powers (and as high, most of the time, as Georgia pines). This album from the tail end of their most creative period , moreover, unlike let us say Bob Dylan who has produced more creative work for longer, is the "golden era" of the Stone Age. The album, however, is a little uneven in spots reflecting, I think, a certain exhaustion of material that they could call their totally their own unless the time when they owned a big chunk of rock 'n'roll in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The age of a more sedate music (at least technically) was approaching and I think there was some confusion about whether to embrace it or "spoof" it. Frankly, nothing jumps out here but "Dance", "Indian Girl", "She So Cold" and the title track "Emotional Rescue" make this album. I do not think anything here qualifies for their "greatest hits" vault.
emotional rescue remastered 2009 
2009-10-23 - This record might be almost as good as Some Girls. This time around, the band did record some high energy rock tracks, but also played a few dance orientated tracks as well, that really accent the bass and drums. Which really sounds good on the remastered CD. Plus a couple slow songs thrown in as well.
A dud 
2009-07-26 - It doesn't matter how many times it's remastered only one descent song (Shes So Cold) and it's repetitive enough to not want to listen to much...I'm glad I found the FLAC torrent for this and undercover 2009 remaster...both I could live wthout!!
compares nicely to my 1980 vinyl 
2009-07-23 - After trolling the various audiophile forums and finding mixed reviews, I was reluctant to get this. My 1980 LP sounds just fine, but I wanted to have this for the car, and mp3 etc, so I took the plunge. I don't have the '94 CD version to compare it to, but I can report that on my mid-to-high-level home system, this version sounds very close to the vinyl. Yes, it IS mastered too loud, but it is actually very pleasant to listen to and has good "definition." Could it have been better remastered? No doubt, but for the $12-15 price point and the fact that it beats any attempt at ripping my LP, I have no regrets.
Surprised and Pleased at version 3.0
2009-06-12 - I picked up Emotional Rescue along with Some Girls and Tattoo You from the newest Universal Music remasters series and was pleasantly surprised at how well the recent remastering enhances my enjoyment of this album. The remastering tops any previous CD version of this album by a wide mark and I don't even remember the vinyl version sounding this good. The Stones tried out a lot of echo effects on this album as well as instrumentation mixes that usually sounded cheesy and muffled. Now the mixes are crystal clear and the album emerges as a laid back but stylish effort by the Stones that deserves more notice than typically given it. The rockers are effortless and cocksure and the more experimental tracks such as the title cut shimmer with clever instrumentation. Emotional Rescue along with It's Only Rock and Roll, really benefitted from the new remastering by Universal Music. I really have high expectations for Exile on Main Street as well.
