The Rolling Stones "Goats Head Soup" cassette tape
Objectively I know that this is not their greatest album, and yet — on some days — I love it the most. I love its dark, tired, stoned vibes. I love how its throwaways — “Star Star” and “Hide Your Love” — are still elite. I love how the hits — “Angie” and “Heartbreaker” — sound like nothing else they ever made. I love how it’s still got “Exile on Main Street” vibes but just shorter, cleaner and less weird. This was considered a let down fifty years ago. Today, it’s darn near perfect. Tape in excellent vintage condition.
