Before leaving Atlantic, the Stones released Undercover in late 1983. Despite good reviews the record sold below expectations and there was no tour to support it.
Subsequently the Stones' new marketer/distributor CBS Records took over distributing the Stone's Atlantic catalogue.
By this time, the Jagger/Richards split was growing. Jagger had signed a solo deal with CBS to be distributed by Columbia, much to the consternation of Richards.
Jagger spent much of 1984 writing songs for his first solo effort and, as he admitted, he began to feel stultified within the framework of the Rolling Stones.
By 1985, Jagger was spending more time on solo recordings, and much of the material on 1986's Dirty Work was generated by Keith Richards, with more contributions by Ron Wood than on previous Rolling Stones albums.
Rumours surfaced that Jagger and Richards were rarely, if ever, in the studio at the same time, leaving Richards to keep the recording sessions moving forward.
