Title: RS BLACK BOX Post by Paranoid Android on Jan 8th, 2011 at 11:41pm
Found this on Demonoid:
...can anyone give any historical/info? Is it just re-hashed material from other boots?? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE ROLLING STONES BLACK BOX (Remastered Edition) Remasters Workshop RMW 624/5/6/7 Restored from the Yellow Dog set originally issued 1994, plus the bonus disc from 2000. This set was obtained on Usenet in the spring of 2002. I did work to correct the pitch and phase then (before RMW existed), and reposted it on June 17th. It's not too likely you've got those kicking around in your collection, but if you do, you can retire them now! Back then, it was not feasible to correct the phase of stereo recordings, so those remained out-of-phase. They are all fixed on this edition, which was redone from scratch from archived .ape files. With modern technology, I was able to fix the spot in the middle of "Gimme Shelter" (Disc 3, track 3) where it suddenly sped up by a semitone. The fluctuations have been ironed out as flat as possible, so that you may not even notice that it was ever in need of fixing. Three tracks are added to fill out the short running time on discs 3 and 4. One is not an outtake - it is an OOPS mix of "Honky Tonk Women" that features mainly Keef playing his immortal guitar part, Mick Taylor's complementary leads, Ian Stewart's piano, and the horn section. I discovered it after correcting the phase, and thought, "this is so cool, somebody must want to hear it!" If you ever wanted to learn exactly what Keith is playing, here's your chance! If you do not want this track, it can be discarded and there will be no sector boundary errors (but you'll have to remove the title from the artwork...).

Well, The Black Box was originally a Bill Wyman project, I think. It never saw the light of day until the time when someone decided to compile this particular set. I have it somewhere - it's OK, but there isn't anything mind-blowing.

it was a Bill Wyman project. Not sure if the bootleg is from the actual master tapes or just the listed tracks he was going to use... I think disc 4 is the best part of it.

The bootleg and the album compiled by Wyman aren't connected by anything apart from the title.
The track listing for the album assembled and mixed by Bill in late '74/early '75 was as follows : Bright Lights Big City/Cops and Robbers/I'd Much Rather Be With The Boys/Little Red Rooster (Live)/Down The Road Apiece (Live)/Don't Lie To Me/If You Let Me/Godzi/Panama Powder Room/Gold Painted Nails/Fannie Mae/Down In The Bottom The project was shelved in spring 1975 in favour of 'Metamorphosis'. It didn't circulate as a bootleg, although a friend of mine from Austria bought the acetate for a few thousand quid when it came up for auction at Sotheby's in the mid-90s. There have been a few subsequent bootlegs which used the 'Black Box' title - one of which was a box of five 7' singles. A 3-CD set was then issued in the late 90s, and a re-issue included a fourth disc. There's a page on it here from ChrisM's excellent 'Revelations on the Rolling Stones' site : http://www.rollingstonesnet.com/BlackBox.htm |
