When people stared in Jagger’s eyes and scored…
Released tomorrow is a 19-track compilation of covers of Rolling Stones tracks collected from accross the years and entitled Paint It Black.
The album kicks off with Bowie and The Spider‘s searing 1973 version of Let’s Spend The Night Together, originally recorded for the Aladdin Sane album, and a live favourite on the Aladdin Sane tour.
The move-aside-Mick Jagger sheer swagger of this recording made it a far raunchier, and indeed sexier, rendition than The Stones’ own version.
However, respect for Michael Philip was retained on Aladdin Sane with the lyric quote above taken from the classic Drive-In Saturday.
