The Rolling Stones “TATTOO YOU” – Mick Jagger Limited Edition fine Art Print – Signed by Peter Corriston

Medium: Archival Gicl?in pigment inks on Lambeth 280gsm – Design and Artwork by Peter Corriston

“Start Me Up” was released in August 1981, just a week before Tattoo You, to a very strong response, reaching the top 10 in

both the US and UK.

Widely considered one of their most infectious songs, it was enough to carry Tattoo You to #1 for nine weeks in the US, while

reaching #2 in the UK with solid sales.

It has been certified 4x platinum in the US alone. The critical reaction was positive, many feeling that Tattoo You was an

improvement over Emotional Rescue and a high-quality release. “Waiting on a Friend” and “Hang Fire” became Top 20

US hits as well. “Start Me Up” would prove to be The Rolling Stones’ last single to reach as high as #2 in the US, while

Tattoo You is their last American #1 album to date.
