Rolling Stones - Tattoo You - Used

The Rolling Stones – Tattoo You is a driving 1981 rock album filled with sharp riffs, groove-heavy arrangements, and a tracklist that moves from “Start Me Up” to “Waiting On A Friend.” This US Specialty pressing is especially appealing to collectors thanks to its identifiable label, runout, inner-sleeve, and jacket details.
