A real gem, fantastic album.

With many great studio outtakes and live material supporting it. Some kind of underrated album as it was the one after Exile on Main Street but really GRRReat!

Love it

Goats and monkeys.
Cracking news.

When Dave 'The Rave' Bailey presented the cover-snaps, MJ said "Oh gawd, they'll think we're pouffs" or similar-ish.
The extras available on bootleg will be lovelier than lovely when smartened up a tidsy bit.

Of the clips above, only 'Criss Cross' sounds like a finished take. There may of course be uncirculating finished versions of some of the others although no doubt the album that gets released will feature a bit of historical revisionism as well as a few overdubs.

GHS is the first time theyve given the deluxe treatment to an album that isnt widely regarded as one of their 'classics'.

It would be nice if, like the 'Sticky Fingers' reissue, it comes with at least a CD of live material from 1973.

Still their greatest ever tour, IMO.

My fave album...not the first time I have stated this...really looking fwd to this...

8-)

Yes, I know is your fav and one of my favs too... I do remember some North Carolina highways listening GHS with you going to a cool bar!!

Maybe they do some tracks from GHS.

It's an excuse to keep Angie in the set, or Heartbreaker.

I hope they don't attempt Winter, for fear they'll fuck it up.

I've been listening to 2019 shows, and Mick's voice has lost elasticity.  Mercy, Mercy was a let-down for me.

I'm pretty sure that one of the London shows in 1973 was professionally filmed. I'm not sure why - maybe they'd tentatively planned it for TV or something. It was never used.

If so, surely this is the opportunity to release it commercially.

The audience recording from the afternoon show on 8th September is remarkable quality for 1973, and its probably up there as one of the top five Stones gigs I've ever heard.

I'm starting to get my hopes up for this package to ridiculous and probably overly optimistic levels of  expectation :

Cd 1 - remastered GHS
Cd 2 - outtakes
Cd 3 - live show from 1973 European tour
DVD - live show from 1973 European tour.

No pressure, guys....

I for one, shall buy this!

I hope they re-issue Voodoo Lounge, so YGMR becomes the star of the set!

That's a really spacious sound on Criss Cross Man, posted above.  I don't remember such a wide mix on any boot version.

Let's hope any unreleased tracks aren't "perfected" with new lyrics and vocals.  It would be interesting, though, if Jagger did an overdubbed duet with his younger self where lyrics are few.  Like Natalie Cole and her dead daddy.

I will raise you Gazza. I am hoping that they will somehow showcase the album prior to the release on the tour, and invite Mick Taylor again for Winter, Heartbreaker, and Silver Train. Won't happen, but we can all dream.

I think that ship has sailed - especially when they waited until AFTER he'd stopped guesting on their shows before they decided to perform a show featuring ALL of Sticky Fingers.

Surely either the new studio album or the reissued GHS will come out prior to the tour. If thats the case, then with the shows just three months away we should get a release date pretty soon.

When I'd walking thru the woods the other day (possibly the very sweetest song about MF).
What's all the I'd about?

This will be a cracker-barrel, beautiful but just tossed off, surely?

The outtakes would be super cool, some "new" old material is always exciting! Will be getting this upgraded Soup

It's actually "Went out walking through the woods the other day," in Jagger's habitual "authentic" pronunciation of e as i, used in soul/blues and country songs.

If you listen to the Stones-influenced harmony vocals on The Jayhawks' Hollywood Town Hall (one of the best Stones hommage albums), they nail this to a T: bid for bed, e. g.

One could do a whole glossary of Jaggersong: chain for train in Love in Vain; jeeming for dreaming in Emotional Rescue, etc.

Hollywood Town Hall by The Jayhawks.  Bid for bed, harmony vocals that reference Parsons-Hillman of the Flying Burrito Brothers, and some Mick Taylor roots in the guitar solos:

Ironic as it took me a few listens to warm to a few songs on it as at the time I found Angie... umm lets say I held that fast forward down on my 8 track car tape player.

Not so much for others and can't wait for a re master.

You're the sort of person who hears Ronald guffawing/cackling during 'How Can I Stop?'.

Imagine if an accompanying booklet contained actual photographic proof of an infuriated 'Jimbo' Miller scratching into the wood of the Dynamic Studios recording console with his pen-knife?

But what would be properly lovely is if early versions of some Goat tracks were included and so we discovered that 'Winter' was originally titled 'Winker', or  that 'Coming Down Again' began as 'Combing Down Again', a simple paean to tidier hair.


Meanwhile, surely it's possible that GHS Deluxe could be held back to yule and in the meantime the tour would be accompanied by the release of the new stuff/'bum, titled 'Really Got To Tell Ruth' (or similar).



Blistering days.

The band were in Paris late January/early February working on the new album, so I'd guess that release might come first - assuming they finished it.

Apart from the taste considerations, I don't  see any reason why they shouldn't be quickening theirr Goat promotion, even with Bailey type masks and determinedly Dancing bottoms.

My old CD is worn out and looks rough It also skips..I need this reissue asap.

What makes the GHS outtakes interesting is that they come from their own session group. We have the big Trident/Sticky songs that morph into more Sticky/Exile goo.
And then from '77 -'79 we have a massive amount of the Pathe Marconi material. In between sit the mid 70's songs, and so many of them are  realized; and melodic.
Exciting.
But I like where a poster in this thread said he hoped they would not cover 'Winter' e.g. on live stage, because Jagger's voice has lost all elasticity. That is putting it mildly IMO. Beginning in '94 these deep cuts that were finally premiered on stage proved to be big let-downs.

Be nice to get a little something.

Anymore word on this project? :boring

Looking forward to this one, can't wait to hear Nicky Hopkin's piano bits

What’s the new recipe?

Is  this  no  longer  happening ?

For goat's sake, let's hope it does.
It will be worth it's weight in heavy trousers if it includes 'Fast Talking, Slow Walking' alone.

Just one upcoming promotional device could be a limited number of copies being called 'Gateshead Soup', with each containing a rare version of Keith's track entitled 'Coming Tyne Again'.

Happy days.

I'm in a foul mood today. Goats Head Soup is the album I play the least.

Dude?

It seems that there should be more time to devote to this now that the tour plans are on hold. Get to work boys!

It's a genius record, and it's capital-G Genius compared with A Bigger Bang, which is the one I play the least.  I play Satanic Majesties' more than ABB.

According to a post I just read on facebook via a well-informed fansite in Argentina (40 x 5 Tribute Bar), it will be released on August 28 as a double CD as well as on other formats.

The original album came out on 31/8/73 so I guess thats the reason for this release date.

Everyone should just wait and see. There's enough shit to worry about at the moment. When something is announced, we'll hear about it at that point.

https://ydraft.com/the-rolling-stones-to-release-new-track-criss-cross-tomorrow/

The Rolling Stones have unveiled a teaser of their new song “Criss Cross.”

The legendary group shared their first new song in eight years back in April with ‘Living In A Ghost Town’, which was recorded during the coronavirus-enforced lockdown.

Today (July 8), Mick Jagger and co posted a seven-second snippet of the video for their next single ‘Ghost Town’, due to arrive tomorrow (July 9) at 2pm (BST). “Givin’ me a ⤫ CRISS CROSS ⤫ mind…,” its caption reads.

The accompanying official visuals were directed by Diana Kunst, who’s previously worked with the likes of Madonna, A$AP Rocky and Rosalía.


This song is bad assed and we are making a strong statement.

Greatest of all time head soup.

Yep. Its coming

Just three previously unreleased songs on the box set (along with several alternates and remixes). Oh, and the live show on disc 3 is Brussels - which has been available for 9 years now.

What is this? What is this? Scarlet All The Rage

Yes I don't have those outtakes in my bootlegs of these sessions

What is that?

We did not predict this.

'Scarlet' is a song which seems to have had a confusing history in terms of when it was recorded.

http://ianstewartsixthstone.blogspot.com/2013/06/scarlet-mystery_3.html

If its this version, then its closer to 'Black and Blue' era than 'Goats Head Soup' although as we've seen from the previous 'archive' reissues, they're not averse to a bit of historical revisionism in order to include an unreleased track on a bonus disc (eg 'Title 5' on the Exile reissue and 'We had it all' on the Some Girls package)

I've never heard of 'All The Rage'. Nico Zentgraf's 'Complete works' site (nzentgraf.de) lists several unreleased or rumoured songs from those sessions and that's not one of them. So we could be looking at something totally fresh or maybe its just the correct or finished title of a song that was previously listed with just a working title. Or maybe it'll be an instrumental that got some lyrics and a new vocal dubbed over it (a la 'Aladdin Story' which became 'So Divine' on the Exile box)

edit : probably the bit in bold. Didn't he say in an interview the other week something along the lines of him 'finishing up a couple of tracks' for the new GHS reissue?

Found this on a Zeppelin site where they were discussing Page joining the Stones in 74.


Update: Scarlet may have been recorded at Island Studios instead of Olympic (if we rely solely upon Jimmy's memory) and it's possible the song was reworked further in Switzerland.

"I did what could possibly be the next Stones B side. It was Rick Grech, Keith and me doing a number called "Scarlet." I can't remember the drummer. It sounded very similar in style and mood to those Blonde on Blonde tracks. It was great, really good. We stayed up all night and went down to Island Studios where Keith put some reggae guitars over one section. I just put some solos on it, but it was eight in the morning of the next day before I did that. He took the tapes to Switzerland and someone found out about them. Keith told people that it was a track from my album" -- Jimmy Page (1975)

This quote comes from Mick Wall's book "When Giants Walked the Earth":

"Jimmy had, in fact, being hanging out with Keith and Mick off and on throughout 1974, bumping into each other at Tramp or the Speakeasy in London, before all going back to Ronnie Wood's rambling mansion, the Wick, in Twickenham, where Keith practically moved in that year. One night in November Jimmy found himself embarked on an all-night jam with Keith and Ronnie on a song called 'Scarlet', named after Jimmy's two-year old daughter. 'It started out as a sort of gentle folk ballad,' he latter recalled. 'But then Keith suddenly decided, "Right, now it's time to add the reggae guitars."' Jimmy and Keith, whose mutual interests now extended far beyond music, were especially close, the Stones's guitarist teasing the Zeppelin leader about Plant and Bonham, who he referred to as 'a couple of clueless Ernies from the Midlands'. So close were they at that point it was even rumoured that Jimmy would replace the recently departed guitarist Mick Taylor on the band's 1975 American tour - before Ronnie stepped in.

Of course I have to say, How true and accurate this statement is exactly, I have no idea. I do know that I read everything I can about Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page and I realize some things I do read are True and then some things I read are Not true. Either way, I know that I have at least read both sides and can form my OWN opinions, likes and dislikes and hopefully differentiate the Fact from the Fiction.

Regarding this song, "Scarlet", it seems documented that this jam/recording took place but it seems that it may be one the Songs that Jimmy and/or Keith collaborated on that may never see the Light of day or US Led Zeppelin (and Rolling Stones) fans may never hear.

Have to say I'm surprised that some of the early versions of the pair of 'Tattoo You' songs that come from these sessions ('Tops' and 'Waiting on a Friend') didn't make this release. Maybe they simply weren't anything more than rough demos.

There's an alternate take of WOAF on bootlegs, but I'm unconvinced this is from 1972. Musically the song sounds quite finished like most of it was recorded later and while Mick's lyrics are clearly unfinished, I simply don't think he was exploring falsetto styles this early

BTW, this is going to be the first RS release in 5,1

Other bluray releases were GRRR!, Let it Bleed and Exile but none of them in 5.1

How is "Brussels Affair" different from the past Eagle Rock release?

Haven't we heard Scarlet was incredible?
Gang, I'm thinking with this release that new album news is closer.

5.1 is such a gimmick. This is stereo music meant to be listened to in stereo.

biff?

I never thought that this was from the GHS sessions either. The production also sounds different.

As for falsetto styles, as the lead and in that style, I'd agree, but on Mercy Mercy he did use it as a backup vocal.

Happpy Days.

3 diff tracks, plus a welter oi different mixes, etc. and

People might be forced to jog through the streets celebrating the exposure of "A brief tasteful glimpse of her vag!" (in one of the 'promo vids').

It has been claimed that 'Criss Cross Man' was about cook Chris who became become quite pissed off when waiting for a late potato delivery. 

Hopefully 'Fast Talking, Slow Walking' might be included as a hidden extra.


Gorgeous.

That clip of 'Scarlet' reminds me a bit of 'Dancing In The Light'.

Primal Scream's song 'Rocks' has long been regarded as aping 'Rocks Off' somewhat but I've always believed that they stole the hook from the chorus of  'Criss Cross' which would have been available on bootlegs back then. Check it out from around 0:35 and see what you think

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ZCZjhjguA

Coincidentally, they'd worked with Jimmy Miller on their previous album to this one

Now it makes sense. I had never put this together, but I thought Criss Cross reminded me of something. I wonder if Jailbird is also based on something specific rather than just influenced by the Stones because that has always reminded me of something but I couldn't pin it down.

Japanese bonus: 100 Years ago and Hide Your Love, both are Glyn Johns 1973 mixes

Thanks Rogerriffin

The original running order for GHS was supposed to run like this :

Side 1:
Dancing With Mr. D.
100 Years Ago
Through The Lonely Nights
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)
Angie

Side 2:
Silver Train
Hide Your Love
Crisscross
Can You Hear The Music
Star Star

It was pretty late in the day that the third song on each side were replaced by 'Coming Down Again' and 'Winter'.

'Through The Lonely Nights' of course ended up being released as the b-side to 'Its only rock n roll' a year later.

Staggering to think that 'Winter' - by far the best song on the album IMO and one of the greatest things they've ever done - almost didn't make the cut.

I wonder if there was a bit of internal politics going on as one of the two songs that got dropped had Taylor getting a songwriting credit. 'Winter' is a song that Keith doesn't even play on (maybe thats why it almost missed out) and it ended up replacing a song that Taylor co-wrote.

This kind of thing was certainly an issue in later years when Woody was co-writing songs that ending up  either on b-sides or having the meaningless 'Inspiration by ..' credit included.

Guindilla = "Instant Star."

To say I'm excited about this is an understatement. That 4-LP set is quite intriguing with Brussels Affair included. That's going to be an early Christmas present.

Andy Johns mixed the original album. So basically he was in competition that summer with his older brother?

The i-tunes version of this release lists 'track 11' and 'track 12' at the end of disc 2

So maybe those two tracks you mention will be available as a download but only available as a physical release in Japan?

I read Glyn Johns' book.  My memory is that Glyn had a rough experience on GHS and departed to work on someone else's album, drafting his brother/apprentice Andy to attempt the mixes. 

Ah, that explains it, thanks.

Christ, that must have been a wild period. Those sessions pretty much almost finished Jimmy Miller off as well. He never worked with them again after it.

At least Glyn was back on board for the next two studio albums.

Criss Cross is the song of the summer! It's official.

It is 2020 and after another number one single they release this?!?   OK, still the Greatest

I have been running around doing my best Jagger.

So 'All The Rage' is basically a reworked and re-titled version of this.

https://youtu.be/9O3pACq13fs

You can clearly hear Mick singing 'All The Rage' several times during this, so whilst there WAS definitely a song called 'You Should Have Seen Her Ass' listed in the sessions for this record, either it's not this one (I cant hear any lyrics along those lines) or it was another one of their 'joke titles' (like 'Vagina' (Slave)) for a song which soon changed once they added some lyrics.


Its got a nice hook, sounds more 'Exile' than 'GHS'-like, if anything.  Certainly something with a bit of potential. Sounds like  Stu on piano to me as well. 

GRRR!

I read Glyn Johns' book.  My memory is that Glyn had a rough experience on GHS and departed to work on someone else's album, drafting his brother/apprentice Andy to attempt the mixes.

To correct my error, this is the passage I was thinking of in Glyn Johns’ book Sound Man.  Glyn says that he stopped working for The Stones during the May 1971 Sticky Fingers mixing sessions, and didn’t work with them again until he was asked to mix ABKCO tracks for Metamorphosis in 1974:

On my return [from the Mick-Bianca wedding], I did a couple of days mixing with the Stones and announced that that was it, recommending my brother Andy to take over from me as their engineer. He was eight years younger than me and left school with a burning desire to follow in my footsteps. I managed to get him a job at Olympic, which did not last long, as his timekeeping proved to be less than reliable. However, he moved on and quickly established himself as a formidable engineer, making wonderful-sounding records with, among others, Led Zeppelin, Blind Faith, Jack Bruce, Free, Ten Years After, Jethro Tull, and Cat Stevens. So he was more than qualified to work with the Stones. We never worked together, but I was a huge fan of his sound. I believe that he eventually became the best in the world at recording the heavier side of rock and roll, with Zeppelin’s II, III, IV, and Houses of the Holy, Van Halen, and Joe Satriani.

Glyn doesn’t explain why “That was it” in 1971, but his chronology is off, since Sticky Fingers was released in April 1971, and Mick married Bianca in May 1971.  So, if his memory is accurate at all, what was he mixing after the wedding?

Unless some record company idiot has confused Glyn Johns and Andy Johns on the GHS reissue, we don’t know when or why Glyn would have mixed these tracks from CD 2:

8. Dancing With Mr. D (Glyn Johns 1973 Mix)
9. Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) – (Glyn Johns 1973 Mix)
10. Silver Train (Glyn Johns 1973 Mix)

Glyn doesn’t mention Goats Head Soup at all in his book.  If he did any mixes, somewhere in the world, somewhere in the production chain, it may have been to try and camouflage errors made in the original Jamaican recordings.  See boldfaced passage below:

On Exile on Main St., the Rolling Stones were able to make one of their finest albums, in spite of heavy drug use. On the follow-up, Goats Head Soup, the drugs began to take their toll on the band, which continued to experience commercial success, even after losing favor with critics.

"It was getting a little more bizarre by then," says Andy Johns, who served as chief engineer and mixed the record. "That album suffered from drugs and alcohol. You can hear it in the music. Just about everyone was getting high, except for Bill [Wyman, the bassist] and Charlie [Watts, the drummer]."

"Heroin was now playing a bigger factor in what was going on," he adds. "It definitely was not helping. It was very negative." The primary user was guitarist Keith Richards, but Mick [Jagger] wasn't exactly straight and I definitely wasn't," Johns says.

To make matters worse, Richard was to face charges for use, supply, and trafficking of cannabis and heroin in Nice, France, while Wyman's wife, Astrid, was raped in her Jamaican hotel room. "That stuff was definitely on their minds," says Johns.

With the exception of "Silver Train," which was recorded in Ireland, Goats Head Soup was recorded at Dynamic Sound Studios in Kingston, Jamaica. "There was an attitude of 'Let's get it done,'" says Johns. "It was just pure momentum. I don't know that there was much of a direction at all. It was like, 'Let's do an album,' and those were the songs that came out during the four or five months."

And, as was the case on the previous albums, the Stones spent days attempting to perfect the recordings. Johns recalls that Richards had a particularly rough time with "Doo Doo Doo Doo [Heartbreaker]," which went on to become a number 15 hit. "The track was really out of tune," says Johns. "Everyone was so out of it that instead of recutting the track, Keith spent four days trying to get the bass in tune, and there was no way to make it work, because the electric piano and the guitar were out of tune with each other. Things were getting a little fuzzy there."

In all, Goats Head Soup simply wasn't up to par with the Stones' previous few efforts. "There weren't as many good songs and the recording was pretty shabby," Johns admits. "It's not their greatest effort, although there are some gems on it." John's personal favorites are "Winter," which he calls "one of the best things that they ever did," and the coyly titled "Star Star," (better known as "Starfucker") which he says "is a classic rock 'n' roll song."

- Craig Rosen, The Billboard Book of Number One Hits, 1996.

I've been hearing some noise about the "sexist" video. What nobody knows is that the creative director for Polydor is female. She hired the director, who is female. The director used her best friend as the star, and I'm pretty sure the final shot is of the two of them running into the water.

voo you must have your hands full

;D

LOL that's why I have Sticky Fingers

Never realised until now how much Bill is MIA on this album.  Seems he's only on three cuts ('Angie', 'Winter' and 'Starfucker') according to Zentgraf and Aeppli's pages, yet I've read nothing to suggest he wasn't there for large periods of the time .  Anyone know anything about this ?

Seems he's not on 'Criss Cross' either and if the stories about 'Scarlet' are correct, that'll probably be Rick Grech playing bass on that one.

Taylor plays bass on 'Mr D'', 'Coming Down Again' and 'Can You Hear The Music' with Keith doing so on '100 Years Ago', 'Heartbreaker' , 'Silver Train' and 'Hide Your Love'

Really great Stones song bar none! It's like a really good roller coaster. When it plunges down those hills I am white man over-biting and air guitaring my ass off!
Also Alexa is finally playing it!

SCARLET ⤫ FEATURING JIMMY PAGE ⤫ COMING TOMORROW

The image is from a take of the IORR sessions

We make shit happen. Jagger lurks here I bet.

An official statement announcing the reissue praised Page's "layered guitar textures" on "Scarlet," calling it as "infectious and raunchy as anything the [Stones] cut in this hallowed era."

https://ultimateclassicrock.com/jimmy-page-keith-richards-scarlet

https://twitter.com/hashtag/experiencegoatsheadsoup

STU + JIMMY + KEEF

= MAGIC

That reel lists two song titles

'Stu + Jimmy + Keef' is a separate title (presumably some kind of working title /jam or instrumental) - NOT the musician credits for 'Scarlet'

Island Studios is in London, of course. They had used it a few months earlier for doing some of the final additions to IORR as well as the previous spring for Goats Head Soup.

And the recording date of 5th October 1974 (not 10 May 1974 - they're using the UK style) is around the time this track has long been rumoured to date from - and puts the session as taking place AFTER the 'Its Only Rock n' Roll' album was finished (it came out two weeks later) and less than two months before the band went to Munich to start work on 'Black and Blue'.

So, this song is a bit of an anomaly. Seems that Keith may have been doing what Mick did with the song 'Its Only Rock n Roll' a few months earlier, in that he started working on it with outside musicians first with a view to presenting it to the band for consideration.  Like that song, it may well be the case that at least a couple of the band members dont play on it

It'd be interesting to see how much (if any) work Mick did on it around the time of 'Black and Blue' as he has suggested in recent months that he was finishing off some leftovers for this release.

For those of you in the Netherlands, amazon.nl have the super deluxe listed on pre-order as €30.22.

Its clearly an error as the proper price should be around four times that, but it might be worth ordering now in case it legally commits them to selling at that price https://www.amazon.nl/Rolling-Stones-Goats-Ltd-Super-Del-Ed/dp/B089J5GZHL/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_nl_NL=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=2PFHI9780U13E&dchild=1&keywords=goats+head+soup+super+deluxe&qid=1595370348&sprefix=goats+head+soup,aps,232&sr=8-1 They won't ship orders outside the Netherlands, it seems.

I can't believe they wont ship to North Cackalacky...I signed in, no problem...added 3 to my cart...no problem...and manually put my address in and it accepted that, no problem...then hit proceed...PROBLEM... it still said it wont ship to NC... :-/ :-/ :-/

It's ok. Pleasant enough but even if what we've just heard was the song as it was cut in the mid 70's (which is unlikely) I can see why they didnt release it at the time.

It's really good, but I think we were a little fooled by the melodic chorus and somehow the rest of the song sounding a little more like the chorus. It's got the harder verses and is a little like Mixed Emotions in that way. Would be tough to play live. The verses don't sound developed enough.

Why Ronnie?

https://youtu.be/4a3TpH97TGI

It's lovely.
It's got 'The Wick' (the house in Richmond) written all over it. There are a few tunes (including familiar-ish lyric lines) in there. Plus enough funk (thank God they encouraged/discovered that) to fill one's trousers twice over.

On the park seats on Richy Hill the other evening, there was nothing but cheerful swearing to be heard all the way down to the river. Did they all listen to this in advance?

Happy days.

From Jimmy Page's facebook :

On this day in 2020, Scarlet by The Rolling Stones, featuring me, is released.⠀
⠀
I was invited to Ronnie Woods’ house in Richmond to do a session in October 1974. It was said that Keith Richards and Ian Stuart (Stu) would be there. It sounded a good opportunity to catch up with old friends.⠀
⠀
There was Keith Richards on electric guitar, myself on electric guitar, Rick Grech on bass and a drummer and engineer I had not met before. Keith kicked it off and I began to mould a riff around his guitar part to augment the arrangement. It began to lock-in pretty soon with the musicians and we all got a successful take that evening. I’d had a good time working with Keith. ⠀
⠀
It was said they were continuing the following night at Island Number 2 Studios in London. I said I’d go and play some guitar soloing on it. I arrived early on that evening and got to do it straight away within a few takes. It sounded good to me and I left them to it.⠀
⠀
Mick made contact with me recently and I got to hear the finished version. It sounded great and really solid.⠀
⠀
I’m happy they chose to release it as part of the forthcoming Goats Head Soup 2020 album. It’s an ultra-rare appearance of me outside Led Zeppelin in the ’70s.

and a few notes from Martin Elliott's facebook page 'The Rolling Stones Sessions'

It was at this time, on 4 October 1974 that at Ron Wood's Wick home studio in London, along with Ric Grech (Traffic's bassist), Bruce Rowland (Fairport Convention's drummer), Ian Stewart and Jimmy Page, a small session evolved which worked on the song Scarlet. Jimmy worked on a riff around Keith’s guitar part. This was a Jagger, Richards song described by Jimmy that was in the mould of folk but featuring reggae style guitars. Jimmy thought it was particularly good, something you would get on Bob Dylan's BLONDE ON BLONDE album and would have made a good B-side. The following evening, Keith Richards went with Jimmy to Island Studio No. 2 for guitar overdubs and transfer from eight to 16-track. The tapes also contain a long unavailable jam with Stu, Jimmy and ‘Keef’. Soon after, the tapes were taken to Switzerland by Keith where they were listened to and Keith described the content as something from a possible Page solo album project. Scarlet Lilith Eleida was the then three years old daughter of Jimmy with his partner Charlotte Martin. In September 2020, the track became a stretched addition to a GOATS HEAD SOUP re-issue since the album had been released over a year before Scarlet was recorded. However, it was a welcome and anticipated addition which while unheard had gained some folklore credibility over the years by fans. Scarlet was given a fresh coat of paint by Mick in spring 2020 by overdubbing vocals, an acoustic guitar and some percussion.
It was released as a download on 22 July following a preview with a brief Mick and Jimmy Page interview on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 breakfast programme. The 2020 recording has a short and lively staccato guitar intro before the percussion and vocals enter. It develops into a catchy refrain followed by the first lead break from Jimmy which holds interest. However, unlike the mechanisations behind Criss Cross which integrate into the era the overlying stratosphere of Scarlet is modernistic and somewhat forced. It contains some cuts, splicing and pasting to lengthen the track as the original tape box testifies with a timing of 3.05. The tape notes state the Cockroaches as the artists which was a much-used studio anonymity tactic. Many of the bonus out-takes from the re-issue of GOATS HEAD are contemporary instrumentals and re-mixes and Scarlet may have been best served in that ilk.

Interesting that the first session (4th October) was at Ronnie Wood's home studio at The Wick (which is now of course, Pete Townshend's house)

This would possibly have been around the time that Keith was spending a lot of his time in London living (secretly) in the guest quarters of Ronnie's house as he was getting a lot of unwelcome attention from the police. At the time of that session, Ronnie was on tour with The Faces in Germany.

Mick of course used Woody's home studio in December 1973 to cut the basic track of 'Its Only Rock n Roll' with Woody, Kenney Jones and David Bowie.

Scarlett (with two Ts) is also the middle name of the lovely Betty Jogger, but that's neither here nor there.

It's like Christmas on the Led Zeppelin boards!

I like it, but to have released it they would have had to raid the music multitracks to cobble together room for a second verse to go with the abbreviated second chorus and bridge lyrics.  Which would have meant rerecording the singing on both verses, and probably rewriting the first verse lyrics too.

You can hear echoes of several great past and future Stones songs in Scarlet.  The vibe, though, is more IORR than GHS.  What would IORR have sounded like with a revamped Scarlet in place of Short 'n' Curlies?

Should have been a B-side long ago, as should have Criss Cross, but they're so damn cheap.  Speaking of cheap, I can't believe Fast Talking Slow Walking isn't on the GHS re-release.

I would but the drumming is abysmal

I can't get "Scarlet" out of my head - I woke up hearing it.

It was obviously a hooky, hit melody.  They should have just recut it and overdubbed the existing Page guitar parts.

Paul Mescal to star in Rolling Stones video
By Celebretainment Jul 31, 2020 Updated 9 hrs ago  0

Paul Mescal will appear in the Rolling Stones' new music video.

https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/dothaneagle.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/7/d0/7d0781dd-5c90-5899-8e1c-88a6a87e7662/5f23cff090285.image.jpg

The 'Normal People' actor will play a rocker in the promo clip for the veteran group's new single 'Scarlet' and is delighted to have the chance to work with "music legends".

And for the 'Brown Sugar' hitmakers, they hope Paul's appearance will introduce them to a new generation of fans.

A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "It's a massive collaboration and a great coup to get Paul on board.

"He's one of the biggest stars in the world right now, but obviously he was keen to work with some music legends too.

"Universal man­ag­ed to pull off the partnership at just the right time, and everyone involved is seriously excited.

"Paul plays a hunky party boy in the film, and no doubt there will be a whole new set of fans of his who will want to check it out too, as well as the band's fanbase.

"The plan is to finalise it over the next few days. Hopefully fans will get to see the results very soon."

The group released 'Scarlet' - which features Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and Blind Faith's Ric Grech on bass - last week.

The track was originally recorded in October 1974 but had not been heard before now, and will feature on the upcoming multi-format reissue of the band's 1973 album 'Goats Head Soup'.

The track was only a demo born out of a jamming session with Page, but it turned out so well, the 'Satisfaction' rockers felt it should be shared with the world.

Mick said: "I remember first jamming this with Jimmy and Keith [Richards, guitarist] in Ronnie's [Wood, guitarist] basement studio. It was a great session."



Keith added: ''My recollection is we walked in at the end of a Zeppelin session. They were just leaving, and we were booked in next and I believe that Jimmy decided to stay. We weren't actually cutting it as a track, it was basically for a demo, a demonstration, you know, just to get the feel of it, but it came out well, with a line up like that, you know, we better use it.''

Mescal asked how the lockdown has been for the Stones.

“I think it’s not been too bad, because we were sort of hallway through an album,” Jagger replied,  and we released a song called ‘Ghost Town’ that was one of the songs that we were working on that we finished off. And now I’m in the middle of doing vocals on some of the other ones, trying to finish those off, and then write some new ones as well. So it’s not so bad for musicians.”

CONFIRMED: JAGGER RE-RECORDED 'SCARLET' IN BRAZIL IN 1976


Brazilian site Pop Fantasma has confirmed yesterday that the song 'Scarlet' Mick recorded when visiting Rio de Janeiro in 1976 with Brazilian musicians is indeed the same one from 1974. Up to then, it was rumors it could have been a completely different song, although under the same title. Eventually, the 1976 take of 'Scarlet' remains completely unreleased. You can find the original article (in Portuguese) at https://popfantasma.com.br/scarlet-dos-rolling-stones-ue-conheco-essa-musica/?fbclid=IwAR0UxTT4j4mxxvfuxjv3Ck0Ln6zk0mzyfkxlaPT_aigs0elaYv1nVenVen

'SCARLET', BY THE ROLLING STONES ': “OH YEAH, I KNOW THAT SONG”
(By Leandro Souto Maior)
The Rolling Stones' “new” song was also recorded in Brazil with a group of musicians that included local musicians Dadi and Antonio Adolfo, but it was never officially released.
When Cor do Som's bassist Dadi listened to 'Scarlet' , the “new” Stones song originally recorded in 1974 along Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin on guitar, he found it very reminiscent of something he had heard before. More over, he thought it was very familiar with something he had played in. That's because in January 1976, when Mick was in Brazil, he recorded the very same song with a bunch of local musicians, which included him.

On his book Os Rolling Stones no Brasil , author Nélio Rodrigues details that Mick was taken to the 16-track Polygram recording studio in the Barra de Tijuca area, west side of Rio de Janeiro. Once there, he did a recording session with musicians Dadi (bass, who just left the Novos Baianos, at the time a member of Jorge Ben's band), Antonio Adolfo (piano), Paulo Braga (drums), Luiz Cláudio (guitar), Neném (cuíca), Marçal (tambourim), Lula (surdo), Risadinha (tambourine) and Canegal (ganzá) The did a few jam sessions, stopping at 10 pm.

The song was named 'Scarlet' and, according to the bassist, it's the same song the Stones will include in the expanded release of the Goats Head Soup album, to be released soon, with guest Jimmy Page on guitar. Only that the take with the Brazilians musicians remains under seven keys, still unreleased. Dadi, Paulo Braga and Antonio Adolfo listened to (actually, listened again) the new song and shared some nice and bizarre memories of that day with POP FANTASMA .

IS IT THE SAME 'SCARLET'?
DADI: “It's the same song we recorded in 1976. Mick Jagger took the tape, he still keeps it at his home studio. Mick always does that: wherever he goes, he gets hold of some local musicians to record something. Our session took place at Polygram Studios in Rio. Keith Richards has already recorded it with Jimmy page in 1974, and then we taped it during the summer, in January 1976 "

ANTONIO ADOLFO: “When Pop Fantasma contacted me and told me about it, I looked for 'Scarlet', and it sounded good. Strangely, their recording seems to lack the piano. It might have been the same one we recorded in 1976. I haven´t heard it ever since. I remember it was on a Saturday afternoon "

PAULO BRAGA: “I didn't know the Stones are releasing the song now. I then played it, and actually I can't remember if it's the same one we did with Mick in 1976 "

'WE ARE BETTER THAN THEM'
PAULO BRAGA: “In those days I used to do a lot of recording, day after day. When Polygram contacted me and said I had to do a session with Mick Jagger… See, at the time I liked Genesis, Yes, or Jethro Tull. I played with Wagner Tiso, Nivaldo Ornellas and Milton Nascimento. I also listened to Miles Davis and John Coltrane. We used to consider the Stones 'old styled'. We used to say that 'we were better than them', meaning we played much better than the Stones. So, that Rolling Stones drummer, couldn't play at all! "

ANTONIO ADOLFO: "Mick Jagger was in Brazil and he contacted Polygram, which represented the Stones here (that was up to 1973, actually) And they scheduled a recording session and then they called people who they thought could do the job"

MICK JAGGER, A NICE GUY
DADI: “Mick was playing guitar and singing right in front of me. A very nice guy, far from a prima donna. He helped to load the equipment, he asked me to play some musical phrases during the recording, so I did, and he just said, 'Great, man!' And for me, as a Stones' fan since I was 13, it something unforgettable ”

ANTONIO ADOLFO: “Once we finished recording, we talked to him for about an hour. We left the studio and went up to a hall in the building with a staircase that was connected to other floor. That's when Mick Jagger surprised me, I thought he would play the rock star. But he was really sweet, a soft and dear kind of guy "

PAULO BRAGA: “I remember Mick was really polite. He was even trying to get through to me. Only that I didn't let him, I didn't pay much attention to him, I really wasn't into the Rolling Stones. We tend to me more prejudiced when we are young. He asked me to play in some sort of style, but I wasn't respecting him much. He said Charlie Watts was the best drummer in the world, and I remember laughing at that. I asked him if he knew Jack DeJohnette, Elvin Jones… But he replied by saying that was a different thing, so for the Stones Charlie Watts was the best one. I then remember he got a guitar and started playing it, and he was really good at it, with some beautiful singing ”

ANTONIO ADOLFO: “In those days I used to listen to lots of rock music. I lived for a while in the USA and Europe, between 1972 and 1974. I would listen to the Stones a lot, or go see them. I'm extremely curious to listen to that version of 'Scarlet' with the Brazilian musicians, it would be great if they also put it out ”

STOP IT, MICK!
PAULO BRAGA: “I just wanted to finish that recording right away, I only thought I had to record with Agnaldo Timóteo. I hope they also release our version, who knows, maybe we get something extra from that recording, right? "

The first couple of lines are a good example. That affected, nasal enunciation that marred a few reworkings on the other deluxe reissues (most notably on the Exile) one. Although to his credit, he more often than not does a good job disguising it - its a really difficult task for any singer to copy the voice he had almost five decades ago.

Seems to have removed all references to the original title of the song in the lyrics, too. Disappointingly PC. Very definitely mostly modern lyrics which is perhaps understandable (was the term 'designer drugs' even in use in 1973?)

Despite those minor misgivings, its a good song though and as you'd expect from the Stones in that era, it rattles like a shithouse door in the wind .....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRUdEzQQUdI


Listened to the whole thing today on spotify ( I bought the 2-CD version. I'm not forking out £100 just so I can buy Brussels again)

Good mix on the original album. Brussels is, of course, still the greatest live document of their career (be it this version or the bootleg version) and the bonus disc is better than I thought it would be. The piano demo of '100 Years Ago' is gorgeous, the instrumental of 'Dancing with Mr D' has playing by Taylor which resembles 'Stop Breaking Down' and is begging for a vocal which would have made it a far better album opener than the one which they released in 1973 and the alternate take of 'Hide Your Love' tops the original (a song which I thought was greatly underrated anyway) thanks to some wonderful drumming.

If they'd added another 3 or 4 of the outtakes that have been doing the rounds for years it would have been even better

Oh, and employ a decent researcher. The album credits are a joke. On disc 2 there are apparently three bassists on 'Dancing with Mr D' and FOUR pianos (plus a clavichord in case you dont think theres already enough keys) on 'Silver Train'  ;D

Very lovely.

All the Rage is too nasally, it grates

We are the baddest motherfuckers on Earth , bar none.

All the Rage was great. Was expecting to be let down, but it's always great to hear more of this guy  :smilemick

The bridge seems like what a lot of the 90s alternative/rock Stones influenced bands were going for melodically.

Mick's vocal sounds like he's trying too hard to sound like he did at the time, unlike Plundered My Soul. Still, it sounds wonderful overall and is probably my favorite of the 3.

The remix of Scarlet by The Killers and Jacques Lu Cont is a small revelation.  There really was a missed opportunity here to slow the song down a bit in a re-recording, turning it into an uptempo Soul ballad.  A role reversal of black groups covering a Stones song might have followed.

The same remix let us better imagine how Scarlet might have sounded as recorded with that Brazilian group - coming off a bit like one of Paul Simon's 1970s experiments with SA riddims.  Wouldn't have been a bad thing.

Either way, or in a tweaking of the original recording, this song points more toward the Stones of the IORR album than of GHS.  The production on the original version certainly reminds one of the method of accreting overdubs onto a demo tat was used to build up the title track of IORR.   

Mick Jagger on 'Goats Head Soup,' unreleased Rolling Stones songs: 'Some of them should be left alone forever'
Patrick Ryan USA TODAY
Published 3:14 PM EDT Sep 4, 2020

If Mick Jagger had his way, the "Goats Head Soup" album cover would've been a lot more literal.

This week, the Rolling Stones' Twitter account shared alternate artwork for the band's 1973 album, which was re-released Friday. Among the prospective covers: a goat peering out from a simmering pot, nodding to the album's Jamaican origins. (It was mostly recorded in Jamaica, where the soup, known as "mannish water," is a delicacy.)

"The goat's head was my idea and it didn't really work out," Jagger tells USA TODAY. "The record company didn't like it, so we went with the more user-friendly portraits of the band in the end."



"Goats Head Soup" was first released a year after "Exile on Main St.," which is now regarded as one of the Stones' best albums. "Goats" was met with mixed reviews from critics, but still managed to spawn a No. 1 hit in "Angie." The reissue features three lost songs by the rockers: "Criss Cross," "All the Rage" and "Scarlet," featuring Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page.

Jagger, 77, called us up to chat about new music, lockdown and working with Page.


Question: Like 1972's “Exile on Main St.,” critics have started to come around on “Goats Head Soup” in recent years. What does the album mean to you?

Mick Jagger: I think there's some good things on it. It's quite varied. The lead-off track ("Angie") is a very wistful ballad with strings on it, and couldn't have been more different from what had come before on "Exile." The rest of the album is nothing like that – that's the only track that goes in that direction. You've got "Heartbreaker," a social comment that unfortunately is still a bit true these days. There's some Billy Preston-led stuff (like "100 Years Ago") and straight rock riffs like "Dancing with Mr. D." I don't really listen to the Stones albums as albums. I just listen to the songs individually, so I'm not sure where it stands.

Q: So if I'm correct, you recorded "Scarlet" with Jimmy Page in Keith Richards' basement?

Jagger: It was Ronnie (Woods') basement – I don't remember Keith ever having a basement. (Laughs.) I don't remember doing this particular version of it at all, but when I spoke to Jimmy, he remembered the session and talked me through it. And I said, "Yeah, OK. I believe you, Jimmy." So that one got out and dusted, and you know, it sounds good. I like the way Jimmy plays, and Jimmy and Keith play well together on that. I didn't do much to it – I added a little bit of percussion and did some vocals at the end of the track, when it starts to fade out. There's a bit more shouting at the end.

Q: Paul Mescal from Hulu's "Normal People" stars in the "Scarlet" video. Have you watched that show?

Jagger: Oh, yeah, I watched "Normal People." Yeah, yeah. It was good. It was funny and poignant and a very successful show in the U.K. Very enjoyable.


Q: You've talked a lot about "Scarlet" and "Criss Cross" in the lead-up to this release, but what's the story behind "All the Rage?"

Jagger: I think we recorded that in Jamaica. It's lots of Mick Taylor playing some very nice guitar, Keith does his intros, and there weren't really any finished vocals on it. It was just me trying to figure something out. We probably did it a couple times and then never finished, so it was never released. So when the record company said they wanted to release this album, they sent me these three tracks. Because the mixes sounded so horrible, I had to get the master tracks and see what was there really.

When I did the vocals (for the reissue), I tried to get the feel of the period. I listened to some of the other tracks and tried to get a feel for what I was sounding like (back then) because otherwise it doesn't fit in right. But I like ("All the Rage"). The whole band plays really well on it, and Mick is pretty standout.

Q: In the process of putting together this reissue, did you discover more unfinished Stones material that you’d like to get out there at some point?

Jagger: I only listened to stuff pertaining to this album. I didn't listen to any other stuff. Every Stones album has stuff that's not finished or was for some reason left by the wayside. In retrospect, some of them are great, some of them are medium, some of them should be left alone forever. (Laughs.) And there are some good things. I mean, "Criss Cross" was a really good track that was finished. I don't know why it wasn't used on the (original) album. But there's lots of things that were in the vault that are still to come out.

Q: How's the new album coming along?

Jagger: I'm doing a lot of writing and I finished off a lot of tracks that we recorded. We'll see how it goes when we get together. The last (six) months, it's been quite hard to get together and studios aren't really open much. But we hope to get together soon and get on with it. I would really like if it was finished by the end of the year.

Q: You fast-tracked the release of “Living in a Ghost Town” because of its relevance to the pandemic. Are there other new songs inspired by or related to current events?

Jagger: They're all, to some extent, inspired by what's going on. But they're not quite so on the nose as "Ghost Town." I think one like that's enough. What you write reflects the times you're living in, so lyrically, I think they'll all be somewhat influenced without being obvious.

Q: How have you been holding up in lockdown?

Jagger: I've been in the country most of the time, which is pretty unusual for me. I've enjoyed being in nature because I'm really a townie and I haven't been in a town since March 15th. But I've read a lot, done a lot of walking and watched probably a little bit too much TV late at night. But I've been working and writing, too, so I've been quite satisfied with that creatively.

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards on ‘Goats Head Soup,’ Life in Lockdown, and Why They’ll Never Quit
The Rolling Stones revisit one of their most misunderstood LPs for an epic reissue – and tell us what it would take for them to get onstage again
By
Patrick Doyle

Mick Jagger got a call from his label recently with some news: While working on a reissue of the Rolling Stones’ 1973 album Goats Head Soup, the crew found some unreleased tracks. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh, no,’” Jagger says. “Unreleased tracks, to me that always means a lot of work. It’s like, ‘Things that you didn’t like and didn’t finish!’”
Jagger’s mind changed when he heard the music. “Actually, it’s not bad at all,” he says. Soon, isolating at his home in the European countryside, he wrote new lyrics to “All the Rage,” a rocker he’d started writing 47 years earlier. “You finish [tracks] like you would if you recorded them last week,” says Jagger. “ ‘Where are my maracas? Surely I must have my maracas around here.’”

Goats Head Soup emerged from a period of deep uncertainty for the Stones. After their successful tour for Exile on Main Street, they’d splintered across the world; a few months later, in late 1972, they reconvened in Kingston, Jamaica, to cut a set of dark grooves that sounded like nothing they’d ever released. There were drony experiments (“Can You Hear the Music?”), strung-out ballads (“Coming Down Again”), and snarling rockers (“Dancing With Mr. D”). Critics didn’t like it at the time, and the Stones quickly dropped many of the songs from their live set. “It’s not an album that’s revered as much as Exile on Main Street in people’s minds,” says Jagger. “I suppose including me.”

Keith Richards remembers exactly where he was when he started writing the album’s biggest hit earlier that year: in the bathroom of a rehab clinic in Switzerland, where he’d gone to kick his heroin addiction. After three of the most painful days of his life, a melody came to him and grew into “Angie,” a tender ballad inspired in part by the name of his newborn daughter with Anita Pallenberg.

Jagger knew “Angie” was a hit as soon as he heard it while visiting Richards in Switzerland, where he’d arrived with his own set of songs. After a decade of close collaboration, Jagger and Richards were living in separate countries. Richards had fled Nellcôte, his home in the South of France, due to a drug bust; the bandmates’ U.S. visas had expired; and they could no longer live in England due to tax issues. “When we cut Exile, we were still in each other’s pockets,” Richards says. “By the time of Goats Head, Mick had married Bianca. Charlie was living in France. In other words, we had become exiles. We were all over the place. Mick and I had to learn to write stuff apart.”

They chose to record in Jamaica in part because “it was one of the few places that would let us in,” Richards says, not entirely kidding. With Billy Preston joining them on piano, the band “worked like maniacs” from midnight to 10 a.m., says Richards. Jagger jokes that the Stones may be the only band to make an album in Jamaica with “not the slightest influence of reggae on any of the tracks.” Instead, he notes the funky combination of Richards’ and Mick Taylor’s guitars with Preston’s electric piano: “The fashion at that time was playing that clavinet with the wah-wah stuff,” he says. “It’s not Herbie Hancock, but it gives it that certain push.”

The Stones knocked out the basic tracks for Goats Head Soup in a week. On the new box set, you can hear them let loose on an instrumental jam for “Dancing With Mr. D,” featuring guitarist Mick Taylor’s piercing slide attack. There’s also an early version of “Heartbreaker,” featuring Preston and pianist Nicky Hopkins pounding away over the song’s hypnotic horn line. “Of course Billy Preston was in there, as well as Nicky Hopkins and Ian Stewart,” Richards says. “We had this funk thing going that hadn’t dawned on me so much until I re-heard it recently.”

The sessions had a spontaneous feel: “A lot of tracks weren’t worked out much before we got in there,” Richards adds. “Some of them are maybe an hour old.” One of his favorite songs is “Winter,” which he calls “a Mick beauty.” Jagger wrote the song about missing a lover while stuck in the countryside. Taylor, who left the band a year later, provides a searing, melodic solo. “I always liked the way Mick picked out those pretty melodies around the tunes,” Jagger says. “He was very good at that sort of thing.”

The next summer, when Goats Head came out, “Angie” went to Number One, putting the Stones back on the charts alongside David Bowie and Elton John. Jagger told Rolling Stone at the time that the new album was more focused than Exile, but he won’t go that far today. “I say stupid things like that when I’m promoting albums,” he says now. “You gotta take that with a pinch of salt.”

Richards sees Goats Head as the beginning to an important chapter in his life, when he fell in love with Jamaica. “That was ’73, the year Marley and the Wailers put out Catch a Fire. That’s also the year the soundtrack of The Harder They Come came out. I remember being in Jamaica, there was a feeling in the air. Jamaica was starting to make a mark on the map. After the sessions, I just moved back and I stayed there for months.” Richards bought a house on the island’s north coast. “And that’s where I met all the guys and eventually turned up on the Wingless Angels,” he continues, mentioning the reggae group he’d go on to release an album with in 1997. “It became my second home, you know.”

When 2020 began, the Stones were looking forward to a big tour. With those dates off due to Covid-19, they’ve been staying busy in other ways. At his home in Europe, Jagger has been working on documentary projects, plus writing new music and keeping in shape. “I’ve been singing quite a lot, and I’ve been exercising quite a lot, so I’m keeping that bit together,” he says. “I’m not in such a bad position. Can’t feel sorry for yourself. But yeah, I miss performing.”

“I really enjoyed that last tour, it was a great trek,” Richards says of the band’s 2019 dates, which came just weeks after Jagger had heart surgery. Still, the singer proved he was in top form, and the band played rarities like “Harlem Shuffle” and “She’s a Rainbow,” ending the tour with a dramatic, rain-drenched gig in Miami. “I was very disappointed in March when we said, ‘Uh oh, this thing’s looking bad,” Richards says. “A week later, they started to say, ‘We’ll cancel the first few gigs.’ And I said, ‘I have a feeling. Nah, this thing’s too big for us. It’s too big for anybody, you know?”

The guitarist has been hunkered down at home in Connecticut this summer. “It’s not very often, we do go drift out and stop by a sidewalk cafe,” he says. He, of course, wears a mask. “Oh yeah, I’m a masked man,” he says. “I mean, it’s what you have to do. I wear mine in bed!” He’s been listening to Bob Dylan’s Rough & Rowdy Ways (“Bless old Bob. I mean, I love his new album, man”) and working on new music himself. In late April, the Stones released “Living in a Ghost Town,” their first original release since 2012. “We had it in the can,” Richards says. “I spoke to Mick around March. I said, ‘Hey man, if there’s a time to put this one out, it’s now, you know.'”

Jagger says that song “was part of a group of songs we’d recorded quite recently. It just seemed to fit the times. When I went back to my lyric book and looked at it, it was a song about being a ghost after a plague. Obviously I threw in a few more current lines, and then redid some of the vocals and I redid bits of my guitar and stuff. Now I’m singing on some of the other ones that we did from that time period, finishing those off, too.”

The band is considering putting those songs out soon. “I think we have five, six, or seven tracks we’ve slowly been putting together,” Richards says. “Right now, seeing if this thing’s going to go on, maybe we should think about putting them out in another way.”

Jagger wonders about future of live music, especially in the U.S. “The larger point, really, is — in the short, medium, and long term — how is everyone that performs live going to function in the future? We don’t know. In Europe, we’ve had small-scale concerts. We’ve had socially-distanced concerts. You can see [concerts] starting in some parts of the world — New Zealand, Australia and so on. But … as far as the U.S. is concerned, we don’t really know what the future holds. So many people are out of work, losing money. Is it ever going to be the same again? Will it be always different? We just don’t know at the moment.”

Jagger says he’s looking forward to stepping onstage with the band again, whenever it happens. “We might be playing to very few people,” he says. “Even though we might be lucky enough to have sold tickets, we might not be able to play to them all at once.” He says he’s open to the Stones playing a socially-distanced concert: “Yeah, I suppose if that was the way of the world, of course.”

Richards has his eyes on the future, too. “I hope, like everybody else, there’s a very good vaccine as soon as possible,” he says. “And a change of regime wouldn’t be bad. Let’s leave it at that, man.”

Retirement is still not an option for the band, he adds. “You might call it a habit,” he says of playing live. “I mean, that’s what we do. And also there’s that thing between us, like, ‘Who’s going to be the first one to get off the bus?’ You have to be kicked off or drop off, right? So it’s like that. I really can’t imagine doing anything else.”

In 2022, the Stones will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of their first shows. Richards hopes it’s an occasion they mark onstage. “I hope we’re all there, man,” he says. “It’s something to look forward to.”

Thanks. Patrick Doyle seems to have been the 'go to' source for Stones interviews with Rolling Stone in recent years. Nice guy too.

He telephoned me about a Stones story I'd posted on here a couple of years ago and mentioned that he'd just done a phone interview with Keith - Keith had returned his call while he was driving.  I think I would have been shaking so much I'd have crashed into the nearest lamppost.

Now that Keith brings up the clavinet-and-wah-wah sound of the period in the interview (Billy and Mick T on GHS), you can hear a bit of Stevie Wonder influence - or at least Stevie popularized that keyboard plus processed guitar thing on Superstition.

In its way, GHS is a more focused recording effort than the cross-continental road race that was Exile, but Jagger has to keep apologizing for it because of the slagging GHS took back then.

WRONG...
PERKS we're all the rage! Take that noise to iorr.

I once freaked out a religious Jamaican by showing her the graphic LP insert for GHS after she had fed me goat patties.  We were married at the time.

All the rage is ok. Bit disappointed at the PC lyrics but it rocks
Scarlet is a good song. The remixes suck

Honestly I’m just glad Criss Cross is officially released as cannon Stones song.  Great song always one of my favourite bootleg tracks!

Criss Cross best new song on the album IMO
(And the chick in the video is hot!)

How beautiful is this? Vocals do sound like they were done more recently. Even if they were, it's even more impressive. If Mick can still take his voice back like that, I doubt any of his peers can even come close to doing it like this.

Sounds like 1972 vocal to me. Can understand the logic of putting modern day vocals on unfinished songs but it would be incomprehensible and utterly pointless to do so on a track which is marketed as a 'demo'

Its a gorgeous version, indeed.

Scorching show from this date in 1973. Recorded by our friend Silver Dagger. Excellent sound quality for an audience tape from that era. One of the greatest Stones gigs ever.

Keith was interviewed on the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 this morning

You can listen to it from the 2:03:29 mark to 2:23:42

Well, it does give it the veneer of authenticity and more marketable in that sense. Upon further listens though, it does seem like from the time because All the Rage is clearly new and despite his best efforts, it's obviously not from the time. Whereas on the demo, it clearly is.

The fascinating thing about this track for me is that it's very much a song that an English band would write, but you add Billy Preston, and it has that funky overtone. The only band that can do that, sound good, and sound credible are the Stones.

This is my favorite "new" cut...No reason they cant play this song the way they do, for example, Worried About You or Memory Motel...Mick on the piano...the rest of the band chiming in a bit later on...it can be an easier smoother version than the album...

it ain't the way it's supposed to be...

The Japan-only Glyn Johns remix of 100 Years ago is really interesting.  The harder-charging original is definitely better for GHS (among other things, it helps set up Heartbreaker).  However, the Jagger vocals in the "Call me lazybones" section are a different take from the GHS version. 

Similarly, the murkier GHS version of Can You Hear The Music fits better, especially coming off of Winter in a one-two trance punch.  But the Glyn version lets you hear the instrumental background better, and has a longer pennywhistle outro.  If only there were a Glyn remix of Winter, or some other variant, for us.

For those debating if those are redone 2020 vocals on the 100 Years Ago demo - note that on the GHS version Jagger seems to sing "You're going to kiss this day goodbye," which better fits the song's temps perdu theme.  On the demo, it's "You're going to kiss this man goodbye."  It could be a 2020 vocal, or it could be an earlier lyric version from the Jamaica sessions.  Maybe Jagger's just improved his forgery skills after The Burnt Orange Heresy.

https://iorr.org/talk/read.php?2,2770866,2770957#msg-2770957

I think its simply a case of the two vocals on '100 years ago' being recorded a few months apart (the demo is probably Nov/Dec 72 and the final overdubs were done May-June 1973). Its not uncommon for lyrics to have a few rewrites or tweaks done before they're finished.

Glyn Johns' mixes of 'Silver Train' 'Dancing with Mr D' and 'Heartbreaker' also have a few minor lyric changes, so they appear to be different takes (at least in parts).

I believe this may be the first time in 22 years of this message board that someone has used the expression temps perdu in a post.  Well done.

After listening the whole new stuff, including those remixes, let me tell ya... If I was the one to select GHS in 10 tracks, I would select the 10 of the original version (really) but "Can you hear the music?" would be the one in the Japanese version

The original GHS is perfect

Let me get this right. Someone actually spent time composing an article explaining why a song that says the world 'fucker' about 50 times in the space of three minutes DIDN'T get radio airplay?  ;D

Keith is also claiming now that he wrote the riff of 'Satisfaction' in London, after spending 55 years telling every interviewer that it happened in a hotel in Florida.

The EU edition apparently doesn't have the two Scarlet remixes, or the extra Glyn Johns tracks, on CD 2.

These are two extra Glyn mixes, replacing the pointless remixes of Scarlet taking up space on the US release. (Actually, one of the Scarlet remixes is worth hearing but not essential.)  So the Japan release has four Glyn mixes.

Again, when Glyn did these mixes is a mystery, as they're not noted in his autobiography among the other scattered Stones track work post-Sticky Fingers that he mentions.

From Gazza:

"Today the Rolling Stones hit No1 on the UK album chart with Goats Head Soup 2020, making it their 13th Number One album and setting a new record as the first band in UK chart history to hit the top of the charts with an album across six different decades! It’s only rock’n’roll but I like it

Number one album in six different decades (had ‘Forty Licks’  sold about 12 more copies of in it’s first week, it would have been seven !)"

Scarlet finally connects to me after hearing it on my stereo.

The instrumental Dancing With Mr. D gives me a raging erection.

There may of course be uncirculating finished versions of some of the others although no doubt the album that gets released will feature a bit of historical revisionism as well as a few overdubs.

Some updates on those outtake song titles

"Four And In" later became 'Dancing with Mr D' (maybe its the instrumental thats on the new release?). Its actually re-titled 'Dancing with Mr Dee' on the master reel tape boxes.

The working title for 'Winter' seems to be 'First Thing Sans Keith' (he doesn't play on this track, after all)

'Through the lonely nights' was originally called 'Through the Lonely Hours' and '100 Years' was the first title for '100 Years Ago'

Yes, what I meant was I wouldnt mind hearing the full album remixed by Glyn, as opposed by a few songs

Most of these remixes appear to also have minor vocal or lyrical changes from the original releases, so they appear to be (at least partially) different takes.

Gripes about the overpricing of the super deluxe packaging aside (which is standard practice now I guess), I think based purely on musical content, this is the best of the four re-issues they've put out so far.  The first three albums they reissued were my favourite three Stones albums anyway and were hard to improve on, but this one elevates GHS up another notch.

Great music! It's all really good. The redo's, the updates, the new stuff just fabulous. I think I hear some 2020 Keith backing vocals in there. Crushing it at the pool!

I bought the Brussels set that was packaged with the marquee show from japan a few years back that was two Discs is this an upgrade?

My memory was a bit off.  Its hard to keep track as the Stones released so many albums that decade.  ;D

It was actually 'A Bigger Bang' that was outsold by about 11 copies by James Blunt's 'Back to Bedlam' - an album which had been already out for about a year and which went back to the top spot.

EMI made the stupid mistake of releasing 'Forty Licks' the same week as the 'ELV1S: 30 No. 1 Hits' - a record which subsequently went five times platinum in the UK. Had they put it out a week earlier, it would have probably pipped Paul Weller's newly issued 'Illumination' (a Gold album) to the top spot.

so I followed Gazza's strong advise and bought the deluxe,
cos i always do what my fine lil irish friend tells me to do.

Doesn't Keith hate all musicians that aren't 100 year old blues players?

Turned some people on to Scarlet- they like! Thought it was new.

Did Mick have beef with Steve McQueen and John Wayne?

Just saying how much I enjoyed that new GHS!!! It was never my favourite Stones album in the past, as I'm more into the Beggars Bleed Sticky On Main Street-era but hell, they did a real good job on this one. Hoping for more to come, e.g. a complete re-do of LYL that should make it sound better and present more of El Mocambo.
