RE: RE: Jump On Top Of Me ?????????

>The guitars are elegantly sloppy, and Mick seems to be enjoying himself. An absolute gem.<

"Elegantly sloppy" nails it on the guitars, Sammy. And you hear so many genres and instruments that keep the mix interesting as the song gains momentum.

Like you, the song grabbed me from the very first time I heard it. I was in my car, listening to the local rock radio, convinced it must be the Stones new single off their new album. A few days later I found a juke box with Voodoo Lounge on it and played every song on Voodoo Lounge. I was in disbelieve I did not hear the song! "What the hell is going on?!!", I thought to myself.

I drove a route overnight back in those days and when I got back to my Apt in the morning I called up the local Rock DJ and requested "Jump On Me". lol. He said, "Jump On Top Of Me". I said "I've been working all night and I'm not going to bed till I hear that song." He says, "Well you can put your pajamas on because I'm going to play it for you now." An hour later he did and I recorded that conversation and the song off the radio onto cassette. And that was the way I owned it for years until I walked into a Record/CD shop in 2000 in Wise, VA and inquired on how I might buy it on CD. That was my first conversation with Charles, one of the biggest bootleg collectors in the state and the guy who got me started collecting Stones bootlegs on a large scale. He ordered 'Ready To Wear' for me and loaned me 'Garden State '78', before I walked out the door.

So aside from JOTOM being a great Stones song it has a special place with me because it indirectly lead me into the awonderful world of Stones bootlegs.
