‘Tattoo You’ is the 16th British and 18th American studio
album by English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on August 24,
1981. The album is primarily composed of
outtakes from previous recording sessions, some dating back a decade, with new
vocals and overdubs. Along with two new
songs, the Rolling Stones put together the collection to have a new album to
promote for their 1981/1982 worldwide tour.
Featuring one of the band’s best-known songs, “Start Me Up” and hit
singles “Waiting On A Friend” and “Hang Fire”, the album topped the US
Billboard chart and reached number two in the UK. The album has been certified 4x platinum in
the United States alone. In 2012 it was
ranked number 213 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums
of All Time and is included in the Colin Larkin book All Time Top 1000
Albums. The album cover image, conceived
by graphic designer Peter Corriston and illustrated by Christian Piper, won the
Grammy Award in 1982 in the Best Album Package category. It was the first Grammy Award for the Rolling
Stones. The album artwork is now
available as a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle printed on high quality board.
