Liner Notes: Inside the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio — 'Sticky Fingers'
Advertisement
Liner Notes: Inside the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio is part storytelling tour, part listening session, exploring the legendary albums recorded in the "Sistine Chapel of rock 'n' roll." Step back in time and experience 'Sticky Fingers' as it was recorded through the RSM.
Guided by one of the National Music Centre's talented musician-educators, each tour will highlight a different landmark record from Deep Purple, Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and more. Hear the music on vintage equipment, uncover the stories behind the recordings, and enjoy a live interpretation by your guide.
Conceived by Rolling Stones tour manager Ian Stewart and built in 1968, the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio (RSM) helped redefine how—and where—albums could be made. It’s only fitting to begin with their 1971 release 'Sticky Fingers,' a chart-topping record and the debut on their own label. Released April 23, 1971, the album blends raw rock, country, blues, and soul into a cohesive, era-defining sound. Featuring enduring tracks like "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses," and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," it also marked a turning point in the band’s artistic control and identity—complete with its iconic Andy Warhol–designed cover. More than a hit record, Sticky Fingers captures a band expanding its sound and setting the tone for 1970s rock.
