 (8 Customer Reviews)
Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Mastering Studios).
Three years after releasing 1983's UNDERCOVER, the Rolling Stones returned to the studio to record DIRTY WORK. During the band's sabbatical, Mick Jagger had released his solo debut SHE'S THE BOSS, sparking resentment from Keith Richards, who did not approve of Jagger making music outside of the band. A notable distinction of DIRTY WORK is Ron Wood's collaboration with the Jagger/Richards songwriting axis on four songs, "One Hit (To The Body)", "Fight," "Had It With You" and the title track, which may have been code for the Glimmer Twins' then-strained relationship.
Since Stones recording sessions are always special events, a number of famous guests made cameos on this 1986 release. Among them are Stones heroes Bobby Womack and Don Covay, Tom Waits, Jimmy Page and producer Steve Lillywhite's wife Kirsty MacColl. Despite any infighting, the Stones continued their history of interesting cover choices. A minor 1964 hit by Bob and Earl hit the top five for the Stones, while Half Pint's "Too Rude" continued the band's love affair with reggae.
DIRTY WORK includes an unlisted instrumental track.
Recorded at Pathe Marconi Studios, Paris, France. Originally released on Rolling Stones Records.
The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals); Keith Richards, Ron Wood (guitar); Bill Wyman (bass); Charlie Watts (drums).

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Dirty Work (1986)
Although this is the worst of the Rolling Stones' albums, ITS NOT THAT BAD! Its actually enjoyable sometimes. Although the production is cheesy, what do you expect? It was the sound of the times. Compared to country music and rap and all the other new crap music this is great.

COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT STILL IS GOOD
In my humble opinion, Dirty Work is an excellent collection of songs with a bad and dated 80s production job. Maybe they had used a more 70s oriented producer, the album could have been different .... and better. Tracks like "One Hit", "Fight", the title track & "Had It With You" rock hard; and "Sleep Tonight" is one of the most beatiful Stones ballads ever. The hidden track is a nice tribute to the late Stu but I would have included a complete piano piece by him as homage. If you're able to forget the horrible production and enter into the core of the songs, Dirty Work will sound very enjoyable.

Dirty Work album
 $9.99    
The times were crying out for a pop star like Lady GaGa -- a self-styled, self-made shooting star, one who mocked the tabloid digital age while still wanting to wallow in it -- and one who's smart enough to pull it all off, too. That self-awareness and satire were absent in the pop of the new millennium, where even the best of the lot operated only on one level, which may be why Lady GaGa turned into such a sensation in 2009: everybody was thirsty for music like this, music for and about their lives, both real and virtual. To a certain extent, the reaction to The Fame may have been a little too enthusiastic, with GaGa turning inescapable sometime in the summer of 2009, when she appeared on countless magazine covers while both Weezer and DAUGHTRY covered "Pokerface," the rush to attention suggesting that she was the second coming of Madonna, a comparison GaGa cheerfully courts and one that's accurate if perhaps overextended. Like the marvelous Madge, Lady GaGa ushers the underground into the mainstream -- chiefly, a dose of diluted ...

| | Corinne Bailey Rae Sea CD (2010)
Dirty Work album
$13.64
After selling four million copies of her debut album, an effort filled with her precious brand of neo-soul and the uplifting hit "Put Your Records On," singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae lost her husband Jason Rae suddenly and took two years off to grieve and recover before returning with her second effort, The Sea. On the album's opener "Are You Here," lyrics like "Wait till you see those eyes" and "He'll kiss you make you feel sixteen" suggest she's just fallen in love, but the fascinating idea behind The Sea is that it never explains itself, even if there's a new richness in Rae's soft and oh-so-tender voice that suggests something has changed deep inside. As such, the song's "What's it even mean?" question could be the beginning of a love affair or a tragedy, but the following "I'd Do It All Again" is even trickier, as post-argument lyrics written before her husband's tragic loss ("You're searching for something I know/Won't make you happy") take on new meaning . Further confusing the matter, throughout the album the singer speaks of her ...
| | David Bowie Reality Tour CDs (2004) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Canada
Dirty Work CD music
$18.05
Originally released as a home video in 2004, David Bowie's A Reality Tour saw a two-CD audio release slated for January 2010, with three previously unreleased bonus tracks -- "Fall Dogs Bombs the Moon," "Breaking Glass," "China Girl" -- adding value to those hardcore fans who already own this concert as a DVD. In either the video or audio incarnation, this November 2003 Dublin, Ireland show is an entertaining, open-hearted set, finding Bowie running through a generous selection of oldies -- both hits and album tracks, including songs written by Bowie, like "All the Young Dudes" and "Sister Midnight" -- and new songs that hold up well next to the classics. This is Bowie in his mode as a crowd-pleasing professional, playing with considerable charm and skill, offering no surprises but plenty of pleasure: it's not the first album ...

It's not a true career overview, and given that the band only released two albums during its stint on Virgin, a collection that includes at least half of each of those efforts is ultimately a strange exercise in superfluity. That all said, though, if one needs to have a useful enough starting point for what made Japan so great, Exorcising Ghosts is a reasonable way to start. The emphasis is entirely on the moody, melancholic but energetic phase ...

| | Dragons Rock N Roll Kamikaze CD (2001)
Dirty Work music CDs
$11.19
In 2001, Rock n Roll Kamikaze had the bad luck of being issued by Junk Records just as the Huntington Beach indie was closing its doors. Factor in a tour aborted by the events of 9/11, and the LP became one more chunk of bad luck for these hardworking San Diego garage punks. However, the relationship the Dragons established with Gearhead in 2003 has once again borne fruit, with the label's reissue of this expanded and remastered edition of Rock n Roll Kamikaze. Fans of Sin Salvation, the band's searing Gearhead debut -- or anyone familiar with their live show, which features many of these cuts -- should swallow this kamikaze like the stinging rock & roll shot that it is. Overdriven gutter guitar, Mario Escovedo's gritty slurs, and a rhythm section that sounds like an R-rated '50s sock hop -- it's all here, buffed and polished and primed as barbecue music. Highlights include the Social Distortion-style tumble of "C'mon," "Like It's a Bad Thing"'s raucous melodics ("My [unintelligible] said that I'm a star and I believe it/I like to drink a lot but that's all right...."), and "Greyhound," which crosses punk with vintage, glammy hard rock for the album's most fully realized moment. Kamikaze's five bonus tracks date from the album's original recording session. They're all strong, following the Dragons' pattern of propulsive rhythms colored by Escovedo's sun-damaged shriek and the ragged guitar leads of Ken Mochikoshi. "Take It All Out on Me" and the amplified Nuggets moment "Breakdown" are both major standouts. ~ Johnny Loftus
