August 31, 1973 –
The Rolling Stones released their eleventh British (and thirteenth American) studio album Goats Head Soup, on this date.
The initial cover for the all was to have a goat peering out from a simmering pot, nodding to the album’s Jamaican origins. (It was mostly recorded in Jamaica, where the soup, known as “mannish water,” is a delicacy.) Mick Jagger has been quotes in saying,”The goat’s head was my idea and it didn’t really work out, the record company didn’t like it, so we went with the more user-friendly portraits of the band in the end.“
