Although Made in the Shade bought The Rolling Stones time to deliver their next studio album (they were mid-way through recording Black and Blue
upon this album's June 1975 release), it was also released to capitalize on the band's summer Tour of the Americas
, featuring Ronnie Wood for the first time in Mick Taylor
's place. Wood, fitting in so well, was asked to remain in the band on a permanent basis following the tour's conclusion.
Made in the Shade, which had to compete with the latest cash-in ABKCO release—this time an outtakes compilation called Metamorphosis
—reached #14 in the UK and #6 in the US, eventually going platinum. Subsequent Rolling Stones compilation albums have also anthologized tracks included on this album.
In 2005, Made in the Shade was remastered and reissued by Virgin Records
