There's a certain smarmy charm in the Rolling Stones titling a
compilation of their work from the second half of the '70s Sucking in
the Seventies -- it seems a tacit admission that neither the decade
nor the music they made in the '70s was all that good, something that
many critics and fans dismayed by the group's infatuation with glitzy
disco and tabloid grime would no doubt argue. It is indeed true that
the Stones, led by the ever-fashionable Mick Jagger, descended into a
world of sleaze, one seemingly far removed from the dangerous blues
-rockers of the '60s, who were concerned enough about their blues
credibility that they brought Howlin' Wolf on to a teen-oriented
British TV program. That incarnation of the Rolling Stones was a
distant memory at the end of the '70s, when the group was freely
dabbling with disco, reggae, never-ending elastic grooves, and pumping
up their sound with punchy horns and slick backing vocalists.
Sometimes this resulted in great music, as in the terrific 1978
masterwork Some Girls, which took on disco, punk, and new wave in
equal measure, while retaining the signature Stones feel. Sometimes,
the group would stumble, as they did on the uneven but intermittently
entertaining 1976 LP Black and Blue (heavy on reggae and jams) and
1980's Emotional Rescue (heavy on disco and dance). Those three albums
are more or less covered on Sucking in the Seventies, an unwieldy
collection of hits, outtakes, live cuts, and album tracks that plays
fast and loose with the time line (it reaches back to 1974 for "Time
Waits for No One," a year that was covered on their previous comp,
Made in the Shade), while not including anything but outtakes from
Emotional Rescue, and managing to overlook their biggest hit of the
second half of the '70s -- 1978's "Miss You," the biggest and best
disco track they ever did. This doesn't come close to compiling all
their best songs from the second half of the '70s -- for instance, the
monumental "Hand of Fate," easily the greatest song on Black and Blue,
isn't here -- but the amazing thing is that Sucking in the Seventies
captures the garish decadence and ennui of the band better than the
proper albums from this period. Not that this is a better record than
Some Girls, which had the same sense of trash but also a true sense of
hunger and menace underpinning the restless music, but it is better
than either Black and Blue or Emotional Rescue, since it gleefully
emphasizes their tawdry disco moves while illustrating that the band
could either be deliciously tacky in concert (the version of "Mannish
Boy," pulsating on a gaudy clavinet, shows how bloated the Stones were
in the mid-'70s, but the passage of time has made that rather
ingratiating) or as muscular and mean as they were at their peak (a
previously unreleased version of "When the Whip Comes Down," which
tears by at a vicious pace). On the surface, the studio outtakes of
"Everything Is Turning to Gold" and "If I Was a Dancer" (which is
merely the second part of Emotional Rescue's opening cut, "Dance, Pt.
1") aren't all that remarkable, but they're good, stylish grooves, and
when placed in the context of other disco-rock, slick ballads, and
overblown blooze, they help make Sucking in the Seventies into a kind
of definitive document. If you want to know what the Stones sounded
like at the end of the '70s, why they earned scorn from longtime fans
while continuing to rule the charts, this is the record you need. It
may not give casual fans all the hits they want -- for that, go to the
latter-day Jump Back or Forty Licks -- and for some hardcore fans,
this will remind them of why they stopped listening to the Stones. But
for a few others, this is a wonderful celebration of all the group's
'70s sleaze, an LP that was designed to be a shoddy, cash-in
compilation, but wound up revealing more than the group ever realized.
[Virgin/EMI's 2005 reissue is a straight-up reissue of Sucking in the
Seventies, offering remastered sound but no bonus material or liner
notes -- as a matter of a fact, the spine of the CD is patterned after
Atlantic's red-on-white spines of the '80s, making this nearly a retro
affair.]
