Editorial Review:
"Sister Morphine," the heart of guitarist Mick Taylor's first full studio album with the Stones, doesn't get the airplay of "Brown Sugar" or "Wild Horses." But it's one of the most vivid, horrifying songs about drug abuse ever recorded--as Mick Jagger sings "from my hospital bed," the ringing guitars of Taylor and Keith Richards build to full catharsis behind him. On that and lighter songs like the countryish "Dead Flowers" and the rocker "Bitch," Charlie Watts establishes himself as rock's prototypical drummer. He's creative and propulsive and knows how to swing, but he never overwhelms the song or the other Stones. --Steve Knopper
Description of Sticky Fingers:
Only a peak-of-their-powers Stones could manage to overshadow one of their very greatest albums by surrounding it in their studio chronology with Let It Bleed and Exile on Main St.. Sticky Fingers, however, is anything but an also-ran. Offering some of the band's most inspired twists on their basic approach--"Sway," the midtempo rocker that would sound orchestral even without Paul Buckmaster's climactic string arrangement; the gorgeous closer "Moonlight Mile"--this also rocks like the demon they had lived to face another day after Altamont. And, as if to prove their minds were still as dirty as their music, its keynote is "Brown Sugar." --Rickey Wright
Sticky Fingers Reviews:
One of my all-time favorites... 
2009-12-15 - back when the Stones were great with Mick Taylor, you couldn't ever get enough of Sticky Fingers.
A Comment on Another Comment
2009-12-08 - I'm commenting on a previous comment below from Alfred Junior Smith who is quite offended by this album. He feels "Brown Sugar" is a despicable statement of racism, and other songs are shameless celebrations of drug abuse. He declares "Decent people are revolted by such filth. No amount of musicality can overcome their revulsion." Well, Mr. Smith, this is exactly what makes this album so F***ing great. It doesn't bow down to self righteous, dim witted ideas of "appropriate" or "wholesome". "Brown Sugar" isn't racist, it's celebrating inter racial relations in the most nasty way possible. It sounds like Little Alfred is struggling with a seriously repressed case of "Jungle Fever". And the drug songs aren't celebrating their use and abuse, but compellingly, powerfully describe drugs' darker side. If you are capable of thinking for yourself, Junior, then you might even hear them as warnings.
Maybe Goody Two Shoes Smith has been overstimulated by the title of "Bitch", which just happens to be a kick ass rocker with a ball busting guitar riff and one of my all time favorite Stones song. No accounting for taste, huh? Or brains, or awareness, or personal hygiene, or...
one of the best
2009-11-23 - I will be short I am a huge Stones fan so of coures i like this album but if you are not a fan please listen to it first it is not for everybody. There are bands that i don't like e.g. GNR but I will not bash them some people love them. I a big Beetles fan as well but i will not compare the two bands its and insult to the Beetles and Stones. So if you like Rock and Roll give it a listen i think you will like them. If not move on and find something that works for you

2009-11-10 - This was a good Stones record, which contained some good material, which includes: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses and Bitch, to name a few.
Not what it was reported to be 
2009-10-08 - Recently searched for an original Sticky Fingers, zipper cover, vinyl LP. This item was being sold as such. In reality it was a later sold "Original Masters Recording" version of the same LP, not the original zipper cover album. This version has an embossed zipper on the outer sleeve NOT the original working zipper. Album also DID NOT have the inside sleeve which had the cotton briefs photo. Cover also had more wear than suggested, LP itself however IS in excellent condition. Overall was HUGELY disappointed with the product. What it was suggested to be with regard to what it actually was, and especially for the price paid. Sticky Fingers (Zipper Cover)
