Rolling Stones – Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) (1978)

Okay, two tedious segues, one backward looking to The Temptations and then one to the next post.

Having posted the sublime “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” by The Temptations, I remembered that the Rolling Stones did a fantastic cover version of the classic Temptations tune “Just My Imagination” on their “return to form” LP “Some Girls” released in 1978.

I am feeling a tad guilty that I haven’t already posted “Gimme Shelter” or “Sympathy for the Devil” or “Rocks Off”, etc, and that this might be an odd place to kick off the Stones posts. But no matter.

I just love the guitar on this. A classic cover version.

The LP version then two killer live versions from 1981 and 1982ish. Click through to Youtube to see!
