The bulk of the album was recorded in November and December 1972 at \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Sounds Studio in Kingston, Jamaica\u003c\/strong\u003e, with Richards having suggested the location partly because Jamaica was one of very few places that would grant the band entry at the time. Additional recording took place at \u003cstrong\u003eVillage Recorder in Los Angeles\u003c\/strong\u003e and at \u003cstrong\u003eStargroves in Hampshire\u003c\/strong\u003e, Jagger's country estate. The album was produced by \u003cstrong\u003eJimmy Miller\u003c\/strong\u003e — his fifth and final collaboration with the Stones, closing a run that had encompassed \u003cem\u003eBeggars Banquet\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLet It Bleed\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSticky Fingers\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eExile on Main St.\u003c\/em\u003e Regular Stones collaborators featured prominently throughout: \u003cstrong\u003eNicky Hopkins\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBilly Preston\u003c\/strong\u003e on piano, \u003cstrong\u003eBobby Keys\u003c\/strong\u003e on saxophone, \u003cstrong\u003eJim Horn\u003c\/strong\u003e on horns and \u003cstrong\u003eIan Stewart\u003c\/strong\u003e on piano. The album reached \u003cstrong\u003enumber one on the UK Albums Chart\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eUS Billboard 200\u003c\/strong\u003e on its original release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mood of \u003cem\u003eGoats Head Soup\u003c\/em\u003e is markedly different from the feral energy of \u003cem\u003eExile\u003c\/em\u003e: slower, more autumnal, more given to ballads and mid-tempo introspection. This shift was in part a product of exhaustion — the band had been on the road almost continuously — and in part a deliberate creative move towards softer textures and more intimate arrangements. The result has divided listeners and critics across five decades. At the time of release, some heard the change as a retreat; in the years since, many have come to hear it differently, as an album of considerable emotional depth and textural richness. The extraordinary ballad \u003cstrong\u003e\"Winter\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — with its sweeping string arrangement and one of Jagger's most affecting vocal performances — sits alongside the hard-driving \u003cstrong\u003e\"Dancing With Mr. D\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, the delicate soul of \u003cstrong\u003e\"Coming Down Again\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (the album's most confessional moment, sung by Richards), and the Jamaican-inflected groove of \u003cstrong\u003e\"100 Years Ago\"\u003c\/strong\u003e. The album's critical reputation has continued to grow significantly in recent decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lead single \u003cstrong\u003e\"Angie\"\u003c\/strong\u003e reached \u003cstrong\u003enumber one on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100\u003c\/strong\u003e, becoming one of the band's defining ballads and the album's commercial centrepiece. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)\"\u003c\/strong\u003e was released as a US single and reached number fifteen on the Hot 100. The 2020 reissue — featuring a new stereo mix by \u003cstrong\u003eGiles Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e sourced from the original session files — returned \u003cem\u003eGoats Head Soup\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003enumber one on the UK Albums Chart\u003c\/strong\u003e, nearly fifty years after its original release, a remarkable testament to the renewed interest that accompanied the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e2020 reissue\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003eRolling Stones Records \/ Polydor\u003c\/strong\u003e, with new stereo mix by \u003cstrong\u003eGiles Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ehalf-speed mastering by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, London\u003c\/strong\u003e (Room 30), presents the complete 10-track album on \u003cstrong\u003e180 gram vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e in a \u003cstrong\u003egatefold sleeve\u003c\/strong\u003e.
