THE ROLLING STONES REMASTERS Series.
UNDERCOVER is the 17th British and 19th American studio album by English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 7th November 1983 by Rolling Stones Records. After the band's preceding studio album Tattoo You was mostly patched together from a selection of outtakes, UNDERCOVER was their first release of all-new recordings in the 1980s. Tensions in the studio were high, as each of the principal songwriters wanted to take the band in a different direction. Vocalist Mick Jagger sought to adapt to modern trends in music, favouring Reggae, Worldbeat, and New Wave musical textures, while guitarist Keith Richards wanted the band to return to their Blues-Rock roots. As a result, the album is an eclectic collection of songs covering a wide range of styles. Besides the other principal band members, including guitarist Ronnie Wood, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts, the album featured many guest musicians. It would be the last album released during the lifetime of Ian Stewart, a former member of the band and frequent contributor on piano. UNDERCOVER was subsequently remastered and reissued by Virgin Records in 1994, and again in 2009 by Universal Music.

When The Stones are playing down and dirty Rock 'n' Roll, they're in the groove. But when Mick takes control and the sound veers toward "dance," you'll be forwarding to other tracks (unless "dance" Stones is your thing). The first three cuts are great, then: skip all the way to ''Too Tough'', ''All The Way Down'' & finally, ''It Must Be Hell''. None of these are equal to the first 3 tracks, but they're... listenable. As The Rolling Stones' most ambitious album since Some Girls, UNDERCOVER is a weird, wild mix of Hard Rock, New Wave, Pop, Reggae, Dub, and Soul. Even with all the careening musical eclecticism, what distinguishes UNDERCOVER is its bleak, nihilistic attitude - it's teeming with sickness, with violence, kinky sex, and loathing dripping from almost every song. "Undercover Of The Night" slams with echoing guitars and rubbery basslines, as Jagger gives a feverish litany of sex, corruption, and suicide. It set the tone for the rest of the album, whether it's the runaway nymphomaniac of "She Was Hot" or the ridiculous slasher imagery of "Too Much Blood." Only Keith's "Wanna Hold You" offers a reprieve from the carnage, and its relentless bloodletting makes the album a singularly fascinating listen. For some observers, that mixture was nearly too difficult to stomach, but for others, it's a fascinating record, particularly since much of its nastiness feels as if The Stones, and Jagger and Richards in particular, are running out of patience with each other.
