Pieced together from outtakes and much-labored-over songs, Sticky Fingers manages to have a loose, ramshackle ambience that belies both its origins and the dark undercurrents of the songs. It's a weary, drug-laden album -- well over half the songs explicitly mention drug use, while the others merely allude to it -- that never fades away, but it barely keeps afloat. Apart from the classic opener, 'Brown Sugar' (a gleeful tune about slavery, interracial sex, and lost virginity, not necessarily in that order), the long workout 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' and the mean-spirited 'Bitch,' Sticky Fingers is a slow, bluesy affair, with a few country touches thrown in for good measure. The laid-back tone of the album gives ample room for new lead guitarist Mick Taylor to stretch out, particularly on the extended coda of 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking.' But the key to the album isn't the instrumental interplay -- although that is terrific -- it's the utter weariness of the songs. 'Wild Horses' is their first non-ironic stab at a country song, and it is a beautiful, heart-tugging masterpiece. Similarly, 'I Got the Blues' is a ravished, late-night classic that ranks among their very best blues. 'Sister Morphine' is a horrifying overdose tale, and 'Moonlight Mile,' with Paul Buckmaster's grandiose strings, is a perfect closure: sad, yearning, drug-addled, and beautiful. With its offhand mixture of decadence, roots music, and outright malevolence, Sticky Fingers set the tone for the rest of the decade for the Stones.

[The Rolling Stones cobbled together Sticky Fingers from a variety of sources, snatching some Let It Bleed outtakes to pair with recordings made down in Muscle Shoals, Alabama along with tracks laid down in their homebase of Olympic Studios in London. Whatever songs the Stones didn't get around to finishing for Sticky Fingers, they carried over to Exile On Main St, either in its initial 1971 release or the 2010 deluxe reissue, which means there weren't any incomplete songs left for the 2015 Deluxe Reissue of Sticky Fingers. There were, however, a few pretty different alternate takes of the album's songs, all of which surface here: a wild, careening version of 'Brown Sugar' featuring Eric Clapton on slide guitar-a faster, interesting take that's not as dirty and funky as the original; an 'acoustic' version of 'Wild Horses' that notably lacks the lead guitar lines; a 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking,' which is essentially a demo version where Mick hasn't figured out the words and the band doesn't launch into the Latin jam at the end; an 'extended version' of 'Bitch,' where Mick again doesn't have words ready, although he has the melody in place; finally, a rougher, rowdier 'Dead Flowers.' The heavily-bootlegged 'Brown Sugar' is welcome-it's not as good as the officially released version but the differences are compelling-and it's especially great to hear Jagger work out the kinks on 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' and 'Bitch,' particularly because such messiness has not surfaced on previous Stones deluxe editions. Still, the real selling point to both the Deluxe Edition and especially the Super Deluxe Editions are the live material. The second disc is rounded out with five selections from the Roundhouse in 1971, killers every one, but they're eclipsed by the first official release of Get Yer Leeds Lungs Out on the third disc of the Super Deluxe Editions. Long regarded as one of the finest Stones bootlegs, this performance doesn't disappoint. It's leaner, harder and groovier than Get Yer Ya-Ya's out, particularly in the final six song stretch that runs from 'Honky Tonk Women' to a show-closing cover of Chuck Berry's 'Let It Rock.' The Stones keep gaining momentum as they move from 'Satisfaction' to 'Little Queenie' to 'Brown Sugar' to 'Street Fighting Man,' each swinging with serious abandon, the band yet to treat any of the songs like hallowed classics. If you ever needed proof that the Stones were the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band, this it and it's worth ponying up the extra cash just to get this concert.]

Melody 1971 Dvd Cover

Histoire de Melody Nelson is a 1971 concept album by French songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. Produced by Jean-Claude Desmarty, the album was released on March 24, 1971 through Philips Records. The Lolita-esque pseudo-autobiographical plot of the album involves the middle-aged Gainsbourg unintentionally colliding his Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost into teenage girl Melody Nelson's bicycle, and the subsequent seduction and romance that ensues. Histoire de Melody Nelson is considered by many critics and fans to be Gainsbourg's most influential and accomplished work, as well as one of the greatest French-language albums in popular music.^[3]

Concept[edit]

At just under twenty-eight minutes, the short running time and the stylistic consistency and similarity throughout the album give it qualities more in line with an EP or an extended musical piece with a number of movements. Histoire de Melody Nelson‘s mix of freewheeling guitar, funk style bass guitar, near spoken word vocal delivery, and lush, deep orchestratedstring and choral arrangements by Jean-Claude Vannier^[4] who composed almost the entire music in collaboration with Gainsbourg for the album, have proven to be highly influential amongst later francophone and anglophone musical performers.

Release[edit]

After the release of the album, a music video was made for each song and released all together as 'Melody', a short musical.

On October 18, 2011 Mercury Records through Universal Music released the album with a second CD containing alternate takes of all seven tracks as well as instrumental and vocal versions of the excised track 'Melody Lit Babar.' A limited edition was also released that included a DVD which featured the original album remixed in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and a forty-minute documentary on the making of the album which includes interviews with Jane Birkin, Jean-Claude Vannier, and others. This release also includes a full-color booklet of liner notes in both French and English.

Critical reception[edit]

Upon its release in 1971, Histoire de Melody Nelson received critical acclaim and praise. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 96, which indicates 'universal acclaim', based on 9 reviews.^[5] Jason Ankeny of AllMusic described the album as 'arguably his [Gainsbourg's] most coherent and perfectly realized studio album' and stated: 'It's by turns fascinating and repellent, hilarious and grim, but never dull -- which, in Gainsbourg's world, would be the ultimate (and quite possibly the only) sin.'^[6] Keith Phipps of The A.V. Club wrote: 'It’s a true album—its tale of innocence lost and unearned last chances wouldn’t work as well in any other medium.'^[7] Tom Ewing of Pitchfork stated: 'The bookend tracks of Melody Nelson are a trip through far more hostile territories, the black spaces of a man's interior.' He also praised the 'originality' of the record, describing its sound as similar to 'nothing else in rock.'^[1] D.M. Edwards of PopMatters commented: 'This is genre-defying music, but anyone with an interest in hearing a blueprint for trip hop or a master class in the depiction of desire in pop music, should be sure to listen to this mysterious, timeless, contradictory album.'^[8]

Accolades[edit]

Legacy[edit]

Histoire de Melody Nelson is regarded by many critics and fans to be Gainsbourg's magnum opus and his most influential release. While it became a pivotal album of the 1970s and was instrumental in the development of French rock music and trip hop genre, it has also influenced many musical artists outside France, including Jarvis Cocker of Pulp, Beck, Tricky, Broadcast, Barry Adamson of Magazine, David Holmes, Cibo Matto, Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy, Stereolab, Michael Stipe of R.E.M., Portishead, The Last Shadow Puppets and Arctic Monkeys.^{[7][1][10][11]} Portishead based its musical style on the album's mixture of orchestrations with dusty drums, while Beck utilized the album's main theme heavily on his song 'Paper Tiger', on his 2002 album, Sea Change.^[11] French electronic music act Air was also influenced by the album.^[1][11][12]Faith No More and Mr. Bungle vocalist Mike Patton also expressed his appreciation for the album and Gainsbourg's music, stating that 'he was immediately awe-struck by the elegance, variety and detail of Serge's 'pop' forms'. 'It made me think that I had a lot to learn'.^[11]

The songs on Histoire de Melody Nelson were covered and sampled by various artists of different genres. British rock band Placebo recorded a cover version of 'The Ballad of Melody Nelson', which was released on a compilation of cover versions with their Sleeping with Ghosts album.^[13] Portishead also covered the song in French, collaborating with Jane Birkin.^[14]Mick Harvey of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds also released a total of four Gainsbourg tribute albums, two in the 1990s, Intoxicated Man (1995) and Pink Elephants (1997), and two more nearly 20 years later, Delirium Tremens (2016) and Intoxicated Women (2017). He also joined the stage with frequent collaborator PJ Harvey in 1996 for performances of two Gainsbourg songs, Bonnie and Clyde and Harley Davidson^[15]. Michael Stipe covered 'L'hôtel particulier' under the name 'L'Hotel' on a 2006 Gainsbourg tribute album Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited.^[16]Hip hop act De La Soul sampled 'Ah! Melody' on their song, 'Held Down' from AOI: Bionix (2001); and Portishead's remix of Massive Attack's 1995 song 'Karmacoma' sampled the bassline of 'Melody'.^[10]Mirwais, a French producer who is known for his work for Madonna, sampled 'Cargo Culte' on his album Production (2000).^[12]David Holmes used a sample of 'Melody' on his track 'Don't Die Just Yet', from his 1997 album Let's Get Killed (1997).^[10] Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab covered 'Ah! Melody' for his 2009 album Skygirls.

The album was also referenced in non-musical fields. 'Melody' is the default author name and 'Nelson' is the default password in Six Apart's Movable Typeweblog software, which had the working title of 'Serge', after Gainsbourg. An open sourcefork of Movable Type carries the character's first name.^[17]
