Story & Background
The album "in the stars", although not counted among their most celebrated titles, emerges as an interesting experimental chapter in The Rolling Stones' discography, presumably conceived between 1973 and 1974. During that period of great ferment and transition, it is said that the title, enigmatic and almost introspective, was an ironic allusion by Keith Richards to the isolation and constant pressure of their global fame, a comment on their life as "esiliati fiscali" and on the continuous displacements that literally led them to look at the stars from ever-changing skies.
The original cover, with its minimalist and bold aesthetic, was conceived by Mick Jagger, inspired by a conceptual art exhibition, and intended to reflect the solitude of success, symbolising the sidereal distance between the icon and the man. The recording sessions were notoriously turbulent, taking place in various locations such as Dynamic Sounds in Kingston, Musicland in Munich, and Olympic Studios in London, bearing witness to a disordered but extremely fertile creative process. They were marked by growing internal tensions, particularly between Jagger and an increasingly disillusioned Mick Taylor, whose bluesy and refined guitar contributed to unprecedented and complex sounds, imbuing the record with a profound melancholy.
This extremely rare 78 RPM pressing from 2026, an anachronistic and fascinating collector's item, captures with surprising fidelity the raw energy and nuances of those original recordings. It precisely evokes a golden age of experimentation, offering a unique perspective on the band's sonic evolution in that crucial decade.
