Rolling Stones - 'Fingerprint File'
Not many people have heard this song. It's from the album It's Only Rock & Roll. When you get to the end of that album there's this funky groovy track. I chose it on a radio station once and the bloke had never heard it before. It blew his mind. When I heard it as a kid when it came out, before punk, I thought that's cool because, like I say, I grew up with the Stones so I know their records anyway.

I remember listening to the album and it's a bit punchy in parts. It's like when you buy an album thinking you've heard the single and then suddenly you get over the single after a while you start listening to the weird album tracks which somehow always seem far more interesting than the hit single. Incidentally, I remember listening to that in the punk days in 1978. I went down to the rehearsal room and I did like a funky kind of chord and then we came up with this song 'Why Can't I Touch It'. It's nothing to do with that track really, but I was listening to that track before we went into the studio and I thought you know what, we need to kind of groovy track. So that inspired 'Why Can't I Touch It'.
