This album was written and recorded in Montreux, Switzerland, between 6th and 21st December 1971. To thank, by name, everyone involved would be redious, but one man must be named - Claude Nobs, without whom, etc. To him, this album is gratefully dedicated.
Jeremy Bear, Ian Stewart, and Nick came with the Rolling Stones' mobile unit, and we're pleased that they did.
The Townspeople of Montreux, after their initial shock, helped us a lot, and we thank them too.
