This new 2009 remastered edition has the censored version of 'Star Star.' If you want the uncensored version, seek out the 1994 Virgin edition.
Goat’s Head Soup- At first hearing, it might seem as though this album was a collection of leftovers from the exhaustive Exile on Main Street set, but that label is unjustified. Though most++ seem to agree that Angie is one of the finest moments the Stones ever had on wax, it is difficult to reach an agreement on the value of the other selections. This set opens with a great dripping-groove track Dancing With Mr. D, whose riff is near indentical to Jumpin’ Jack Flash, yet simply in reverse. 100 Years Ago has a value of three moderate songs which together form an excellent musical piece performed a select few times live. The remainder is a greatly entertaining rock album, especially if you are open to the vulgar playfulness of Star Star and the political harshness of Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (heartbreaker). This was their third successive Trans-Atlantic (US & UK) number one album, and deserved to be so. Mick stated in 1973 that he worked very hard on the album, and the result is a fitting testament to that. ++ Upon first hearing the track Angie, U.K.'s NME proclaimed their great displeasure by calling the song "atrocious."
note-The seemingly impossible-to-edit Star Star (originally entitled Starfucker), was cleansed of it’s “pussy” reference upon it’s initial US vinyl release.
