Stripped is a live album by British musical group The Rolling Stones that was released in 1995. The album contains 10 original compositions by the band as well as four cover versions , which were recorded between March and July 1995.
background
The name of the album (dt .: stripped) can be understood as an allusion to the unplugged albums popular at the time by various artists. The songs on the album are not played completely unplugged, but in contrast to previous live albums by the Stones, where mostly bombastic and technically complex shows were recorded, the instrumentation and arrangements on Stripped are much more sparing, the atmosphere of the entire album appears as a result more intimate - similar to unplugged concerts.
About half of the songs were recorded in different studios under live conditions (but without an audience). The other half of the songs are live recordings from (by Stones standards) smaller clubs in London, Paris and Amsterdam. The pieces Little Baby and Like A Rolling Stone are the only new recordings on the album, all other songs were previously released on other plates of the Rolling Stones.
The CD also contains interactive bonus material that can only be played on computers.
