The Rolling Stones – One Hit (To The Body) (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

In memory of drummer Charlie Watts 1941-2021. Watts had been a member of the Stones since January 1963, when he joined Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Brian Jones in their fledgling group. Watts helped them become, with The Beatles, one of the bands who took rock ‘n’ roll to the masses in the 60s with classics like (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Get Off My Cloud, and Sympathy for the Devil. He will be deeply missed.

“One Hit (To the Body)” is the opening track to English rock band The Rolling Stones’ 1986 album Dirty Work. The first Rolling Stones single to feature a Ron Wood co-writing credit with Jagger and Richards, it charted in the USA, Netherlands, and Australia. Reaching number 80 in the UK, it was their poorest charting single at the time.

Credited to lead singer Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards and guitarist Ron Wood, “One Hit (To the Body)” was largely the work of Richards and Wood. Both guitarists contributed heavily to Dirty Work overall, with Wood receiving credit alongside Jagger and Richards on another three songs. A sign of Wood’s heavy contribution is the song’s distinctive opening of an acoustic piece. Wood used Richards’ own 1967 Martin D-18 to perform the jam in an attempt to come up with a proper electric riff, but the acoustic version remained. The band is known for their use of acoustic guitars to “shadow” their electric guitars; “Brown Sugar” is a prime example. Both Richards and Wood played electric, but the solo was provided by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. Page’s contribution was the result of a short studio session between him and Wood after Page’s request to hear what the band was working on. Drummer Charlie Watts provides the song’s driving beat as well as its notable cymbal opening, while Bill Wyman plays bass.

Backing vocals on the song were provided by Richards, Wood, Bobby Womack, Patti Scialfa, Don Covay, and producer Steve Lillywhite’s wife Kirsty MacColl. Recording and re-recording lasted throughout much of 1985. Two locations used were the Pathé Marconi Studios in Paris and New York City’s RPM Studios.

“One Hit (To the Body)” was released as Dirty Work’s second single on 16 May in the United Kingdom and 9 May in the United States with the album track “Fight” as its B-side. The single reached the top 30 in the US. Dirty Work has long been known as the album produced at the height of Jagger and Richards’ feud during the 1980s.

The Rolling Stones – Undercover Of The Night (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1983

“Undercover of the Night” is the lead track and first single from English rock and roll band The Rolling Stones’ 1983 album Undercover.

“Undercover of the Night” was released as the first single taken from the album on 1 November 1983. The initial reception was warm with the song reaching number 9 in the US and number 11 on the UK Singles Chart, though the violent depictions spelled out by Jagger were believed to be why its popularity quickly waned. Jagger in Jump Back’s liner notes: “I think it’s really good but it wasn’t particularly successful at the time because songs that deal overtly with politics never are that successful, for some reason.” Richards countered: “There were a lot more overlays on this track because there was a lot more separation in the way we were recording at that time. Mick and I were starting to come to loggerheads.”

A music video was made in Mexico City for the song, featuring Jagger as a detective helping a woman (played by Elpidia Carrillo) follow her boyfriend’s (also played by Jagger) kidnappers and Richards as the leader of the kidnappers, who eventually shoots Jagger. The music video, directed by Julien Temple, was considered to be too violent for MTV (they did eventually air an edited version, but not before 9 PM due to the violent imagery). An uncensored version of the video was included in the band’s Video Rewind compilation.

Mick Jagger – Just Another Night (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Just Another Night” is a song written and performed by Mick Jagger, released as the first single from his debut album, She’s the Boss, in 1985. It reached number 32 in the United Kingdom and number 12 in the United States. It was a bigger hit on mainstream rock radio in the US, reaching number one for two weeks on the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart in March 1985.

The music video, directed by Julien Temple, features actress Rae Dawn Chong as Jagger’s love interest.

Jagger was accused of infringing the copyright of another song entitled “Just Another Night” by Patrick Alley, a Jamaican reggae singer from New York. A six-member jury ruled in Jagger’s favor in 1988.
