Welcome back! In this episode of Hard Labor and Money Splashes, we'll talk about the genesis of The Rolling Stones' 1983 release Undercover. An album that will end up going gold just days after its release, the record is met with a firestorm of controversy due to what's seen by many as violent and sadistic content. There are lyrics (and related videos) covering everything from political unrest and assassination to sadomasochism and cannibalism, and musical dips into dance, reggae, New Wave, groove, and of course, rock-n-roll. We'll also take a look at the Stones' status in the music world and popular culture (and a glimpse into the overall state of the world and the music industry itself) in 1982/1983.
