It's Only Rock 'n' Roll  by The Rolling Stones

In 1974, with the release of It's Only Rock 'n' Roll, another chapter of the Rolling Stones comes to a close. Guitarist Mick Taylor leaves the band, and from then on Ronnie Wood will take his place. The compositions of the album belong to the well-known duo Jagger/Richards, while there is also a cover of Ain't Too Proud To Beg, a song that became a hit in 1966 by the Temptations.

The initial intention for It's Only Rock 'n' Roll was to release the first side of the album with live recordings and the second with new material. Eventually, when they entered the studio, they found that there were many ideas to compose a regular studio album. The production was done by the Glimmer Twins, namely Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

For this Rolling Stones album - in retrospect - one might say it was the end of one era of the band or the beginning of another in terms of the aura they projected outwards, to their music fans. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll reached No.1 in the U.S.A. and No.2 in the U.K.
