Jimmy Miller's influence on the Stones (1968-1972) (Read 2,329 times)

I've always wondered how much Jimmy Miller helped produce those amazing records, so I looked into it and summed it up here.

More insight into their best recording stretch. To appreciate Miller's influence just play Satanic Majesties back to back with Beggar's Banquet. There isn't enough written about how the songs of that 4 album stretch were finalized. Do early takes of Gimme Shelter or Midnight Rambler even exist on tape? Now that would be a rarities cd to kill for.

I know of two early versions of "Gimme Shelter": one with Richards on lead vocals (very buried in the mix), and one with a different Jagger vocal. Both are the same basic backing track; neither feature Merry Clayton.

Nice. Though I should point out there is no floor tom on "Jumpin' Jack Flash". Perhaps you were thinking of "Street Fighting Man"?

Hey Mr. Yeats

there is floor tom in Jumping Jack!! Kinda buried in the mix though. Here's a quote from Charlie Watts (2003 I think):" Jumpin' Jack Flash was recorded at Olympic; we were doing it deliberately for a single. Keith is playing my floor tom-tom on it to give the boom-da, boom-da sound. Now you'd just program it and loop it or something daft like that. The sound on Jumpin' Jack Flash is very close together, because we do sit close to each other in the studio, much to most engineers' amazement nowadays. Nobody does that any more, really."

Equally, that's the kind of veneer Mick wanted to impose on Stones records, so you hear it even on Goats Head Soup, where Miller is half-MIA.
