The newly released 3-CD Japanese bootleg of unreleased material is now available as a lossy download on IORR

Sound quality is superb, although obviously if there is a lossless version of these songs, they'll be even better.

Here's the link for the download. Should be good for a week or so. Thanks to user bkeys for uploading it :

UPDATE - there's now a link to a FLAC version (1.3 GB). Thanks to Remco. Link should be good for a week (ie, 11th March) Note - we've been advised the flac files are actually lossless, coming from the same source as the mp3 files. So we're still waiting on a lossless version

Now we have a 320 kbps mp3 version - thanks 3ddie. Link available until 13th March

Much of this stuff is new to circulation and many of the titles have never been heard of until now. Its maybe a stretch to describe some of the material as 'fully finished', I also think some songs are Jagger solo recordings and some of the recording dates claimed are questionable but its well worth getting. Intriguing to get the early version of 'IORR'. Woody is very prominent on it although I can't personally hear Bowie who was supposedly on the original recording.

No doubt more corrections/notes to come as people listen more to this

nice!

Some of these songs sound like theyve been mixed with a view to an official release. Maybe they were songs considered for potential deluxe versions?

This is the song from 1970 that's been bootlegged for about four decades as an instrumental called 'Potted Shrimp'

Now with vocals! I think this is a latter day vocal (maybe recorded but unused for the 'Exile' reissue?)

https://youtu.be/Vrk62Bi_WME

This one is listed as 1973, but sounds more like a 'Voodoo Lounge' session (just when you thought that 10-CDs of material from those sessions was probably all there was, here's some more)

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


this trippy piece  is listed as 1967, which would place it in the 'Satanic Majesties' era. It sounds like it could be accurate.
Again, another session that we already have several discs of material from, so this is new. Sounds pretty finished too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzjp3gWgJwY

Listed as 1976, although the Stones didn't record that year. Presumably a 'Black and Blue' outtake. Sounds finished musically. Presumably set aside for Mick to polish off the vocal and lyrics

Is Still a Fool on it?

I don't think so. Going over the track listing again and I didn't see that title nor did I see Two Train Blues.

I'm glad I saw the Facebook post about this. I just downloaded the set and I'm digging the tunes. Thank you, Gazza!

Some Guy wrote on Mar 3^rd, 2021 at 5:55pm:

No. Almost all of this stuff has never circulated before. In a lot of cases, the titles havent even been rumoured.

Gazza, thank you very much

A big thanks to Niels, whoever you may be, for uploading videos of these songs to Youtube.



Three from the Bridges to Babylon sessions in 1997 to kick off. All with Keith on vocals instead of Mick.

First, an alternate take of 'Too Tight' from the 'Bridges to Babylon' sessions. Almost a minute longer than the album take, featuring a prominent violin (Frankie Gavin?) replacing the backing vocals that are on the released version

https://youtu.be/S1YefajB_lU


And now, here's 'Flip The Switch'. Unusual intro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfpxJLB10bc


'Low Down' had Keith's stamp all over it. Here's the original version.

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

'Never Make You Cry' from the 'Some Girls' sessions in 1977. This song has appeared on many bootlegs before now, but this is about half a minute longer. Haven't listened to the other take yet for comparison, but this sounds a bit more finished 

https://youtu.be/REz7-xqCNQU


'Every Time I Break Her Heart'. Another one from the 'Some Girls' sessions. A slow country number which sounds like it is an early template for what evolved into 'Far Away Eyes' 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY_2nCTaQEg


'Curtis Meets Smokey'. This is one we can date exactly as there's a sessionography for it - Olympic Studios, London, 23rd April 1969. This was the date that 'Jamming With Edward' was recorded, which means that the line up was probably Mick, Bill, Charlie, Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder.  Was Mick singing in falsetto back then though? Its quite possible that some of his vocals on these tracks were recorded much later.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7quf7wiUxbo

'Living In the Heart of Love'. Most people have heard this IORR outtake before - but not this version. Sounds like the vocal has been redone at a later date and the song sounds finished. Mick reworked a few old outtakes in the mid 90's (remember 'So Young', which was a Some Girls outtake released as a b-side in 1994 with a new vocal? Maybe this is something similar) 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pirBg5ApQx8


This is a Goats Head Soup outtake that many expected to be released last year. The version that's been on bootlegs for many years clocks in at 6:36, but this one is 5:50. Still doesn't sound finished. Maybe this edit/mix was shortlisted to be worked on for 'GHS 2020' but unfinished/unused.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_vwR-rC_UA

Gazza, thank you very much

You're welcome. Mr D shared the download with a few of us - so my thanks to him, and the others who made it available for everyone to listen to.

(Almost) Too much heaven.
Happy happy days.
Seven trouser legs of blithesomeness and eleven knee-caps of great joy.

This storm of material is beyond my ability to digest anytime soon. Or to
understand where it comes from, or why. I expected stuff like this to appear
only after the band called it quits. And even then to be doled out slowly...

And all these lyrics to decipher will drive me insane if i'm not careful

I think i'm just gonna rely on others for a while. Put myself on a slow drip.
I saw a few people raving about "Desperate Man". I like it very much...


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

Who has it better than us?

two more volumes of this coming soon, apparently

This one is supposedly from the 'Undercover' sessions. Love the horns. There's an instrumental take of this on the Art Collins Tapes which came out a couple of years ago, but this one has a vocal. In both cases, they're using the working title of 'Dog Shit', which was done as a joke and bears no relation to the song itself. For many years, this was believed to be the working title of 'Pretty Beat Up' based on a misinterpretation of a comment Wyman once made in a BBC radio interview, but thats not the case.  Different track entirely

https://youtu.be/H0yvMKcAYmA

'Dreams to Remember' from the same era, apparently. An Otis Redding cover.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2mUXoM5S8k


Another 'Voodoo Lounge' era song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHdZwMMDtrw

The percussion style on this does suggest its also from VL sessions. There are a few outtakes in a similar vein
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrP_Icykltc

'Ivy League' is another VL outtake. A version of this appeared on the 'Voodoo Stew' bootleg clocking in at 3:12 and there's another take running at 4:30 on 'Voodoo Brew' whereas this is 4:56. It's also more developed. Fantastic harp playing by Mick.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVKr4T_3Y9w


This one is labelled as being from 1991, which if true would place it in the same session as the one where they cut 'High Wire' and 'Sex Drive'. A real riffmonster. Has a bit of a 'Wicked as it seems' vibe about it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7b1MpZCCkc

Thanks Gazza, making it easy for me here...
Our coverage on this development is superior compared to our sister sites :P

What we doobee...

But will it bring back Josh?

This is incredible. Thank you for sharing this Gazza!

Who the fuck is Josh?

Thanks again to Niels for uploading some more songs from this collection

(You Better) Stop That - A track from the Undercover sessions in late 1982. Is it just me or does this sound a bit like 'She Was Hot' ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD3ZIRaTS-o

Cookin' Up'. Similar vein from the same sessions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaeS1HZb2FQ

Keep It Cool. Another from 'Undercover'. This circulated as part of the Art Collins tapes a couple of years ago and was about 20 minutes long. This is a much more manageable length

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Cht15RaXN8

'Still In Love'. A ballad with a gorgeous hook that the band worked on several times, starting in the Bahamas in early '79 for Emotional Rescue. This is from the 'Undercover' sessions and sounds pretty close to being finished. Maybe was too 'tender' in feel for that album. Pity.

https://youtu.be/VIXOkBIUOmk

'Eliza Upchink' from the Undercover sesisons. I think this might be a longer take than what has circulated before. Stu rattling away on piano.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXB-v9ciAos


'Built That Way'. Nico Zentgraf's site - www.zentgraf.de lists this song as having been recorded in Rotterdam in early 1975 during the auditions for the new guitarist.  Steve Marriott may be on this one.If not, I'd love to know who the lead guitarist is.  It sounds like Martha & The Vandellas' 'Heatwave' - a song that the Stones DID jam on during these rehearsals. This is really good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjSoBEm0h0c


'Putty In Your Hands' - A Shirelles cover from the 'Dirty Work' sessions.  Maybe considered as an alternative to 'Harlem Shuffle' for the 'soul cover' on that record?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWhsVQ5RZw4



'Might as well get Juiced' - a 7-minute demo from the BTB sessions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF_mMfdcE-Q

I know what I’ll be doing when I get home tonight.
Great incentive to get my ass in gear.

Rick

Stones are life, the rest is just details.

Still in Love and Built that Way require additional beer, stat.

Great, thank you!

No wonder they're taking a long rest!

Update ;

FLAC (lossless) version of this release now available for download

Link should be good for a week. Thanks Remco

https://wetransfer.com/downloads/e1ab78325afc0548d641cd11f301b24e20210304203327/e509ca?fbclid=IwAR0QBudSLCB_bj8laLrbfxVmaPi7QCYB1Gek8pUyPsm5k2HfZXPUKPnbRxg

This one deserves a post of it's own.

Finally, the original and much discussed demo of 'Its Only Rock 'n' Roll' from The Wick in early December 1973

Mick Jagger - guitar & Vocals. Ron Wood - guitar, bass & vocals. Kenny Jones - drums & David Bowie - handclaps & vocals.

Bowie's a bit hard to hear - Woody though is all over it. It's almost a duet!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRGfcYK5Oww

'Nobody's Perfect'. This one is a bit of a mystery. Sounds more like a Mick Jagger solo track than a Stones' recording. Its listed as mid-80's, but sounds more recent to me. Some people reckon it could be from the 'Alfie' sessions (2004). Good song. Definitely worthy of an official release.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWFMR-gI2sY

'Too Many Cooks'. Mick's riproaring cover of this soul number co-written by Holland-Dozier-Holland (under a pseudonym) was recorded in LA in 1973. Produced by John Lennon, it featured an all star line up which included Al Kooper, Jesse Ed Davis, Bobby Keys and others. Two versions of this have previously circulated. A long bootlegged version which runs for around 3:41 and the version officially released on 'The Very Best Of Mick Jagger; which clocks in at 4:04.  This clocks in at 4:58.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGzl4CCV3eM

'Walk With Me Wendy' . This one is listed as 1974, which if accurate means its from IORR or Black and Blue sessions. Whilst the hook is well developed, its clearly a long way from finished with Mick yelling a guide vocal over the whole song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3-D9c49huE

'Trouble's a Coming'. I've always thought that 'Emotional Rescue' was a record that got away from the Stones and had the potential, based on the outtakes, to end up being mentioned in the same breath as the albums that preceded and followed it. This is another previously unheard of outtake that with a bit of TLC could have ended up being pretty special.

https://youtu.be/asn8HHzvXhU

'Not The Way To Go'. There are multiple versions of this song from RCA Studios in Hollywood (Aug-Sep '78) in circulation. This, however is a shorter version which is more developed than the others with Mick's vocal higher in the mix

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW5olzM6BuQ

'Don't Lie To Me'. Chuck Berry cover recorded by the Stones and released on 'Metamorphosis' in 1975. The Stones played it once in 1972 but this version seems to come from much later, in fact I'm not convinced its a band recording as opposed to a Jagger solo performance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH1wZvs6upQ


'It's a Lie'. This was the 'Some Girls' outtake I was really hoping they'd polish up for the Deluxe reissue in 2011 but it wasn't to be.  There are two circulating versions of this song on bootlegs - one runs for about 5:20 with the other usually running around 4:36 or so. This is a bit shorter but I'm not convinced its a different take. But its nice to hear it again especially for Sugar Blue's harp playing 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJvyUGGQ33s


'You Win Again'. The Hank Williams classic, which the Stones released (with a new vocal) on the 'Some Girls' reissue in 2011.  I think this is probably the same as the version that's been bootlegged for many years.

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

'Fiji Jim' Again, I think this is the same 'Some Girls' outtake thats been much bootlegged. This song was one of a few old outtakes that Mick reworked in 1994 for b-sides (the version of 'So Young' that they released comes from that session) which makes me think that a lot of these songs were gathered together with a view to some latter day overdubs being added to them. This is an original 1977-78 recording though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9XemMcci40

Thanks for the shout out and heads up, Gazza  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Heck, that's a boatload of songs to digest.
first time a lock down comes in handy

'Deep Love'. This 'Dirty Work' outtake has circulated since about 1987, but with Keith on vocal. This one features Mick.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyOtJDDeE3A


'I Can't See No One Else'. Another Dirty Work outtake, although this one seems a long way from being complete.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw3w-cUwrvU

'Strictly Memphis' Mick & Bobby Womack duetting on this 'Dirty Work' outtake, cut in New York in summer 1985. Whilst I think this is the same take that's been around for over 30 years, they've added horns to it here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol55ItCiljs

'Hands Off'. Going by Mick's 'barking' vocal style, this sounds like it could be 'Dirty Work' era.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKKTU1SgQlA

'Blood Red Wine'. I dont think this is anything new. 'Beggars Banquet' outtake from Olympic Studios in 1968.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqtN4uiX05A

'Covered in Bruises' Supposedly the early version of '1234', the title track of Ronnie's 1981 album, this one is probably from the Some Girls era, with Woody and Mick tearing up the lead vocal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcBq-a11WGQ

'Can't Find Love'. Another track seemingly from the 'Undercover' sessions. They went for a very hard hitting album of often violent songs in the end, but it's clear there were quite a few songs cut for this album that had a more tender feel. This is another.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-NEvfe56dw


'I Tried To Talk Her Into It'. Listed as an 'Undercover' outtake, this first circulated in the 'Art Collins Tapes' a couple of years ago.  This version is a minute longer. Reminds me of 'Claudine' somewhat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHKcXzmU2X0

'Giving It Up'. A Steel Wheels outtake from 1989. There's a version in circulation that's over a minute longer, so this is new. Still unfinished.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKKTU1SgQlA


'Dream About' . This one doesn't sound very Stones-like to me. I think its maybe a Mick solo piece. Maybe 'Goddess in the Doorway' era?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-FMW1Fdtv8

By my reckoning, Niels has uploaded 46 of the 50 tracks to youtube. An incredible gesture which deserves a huge thanks.

The only ones missing are the two studio jams ('Well Well' and 'Extreme Western Grip' , both of which were released on 'Four Flicks') plus 'Criss Cross' and 'Scarlet' which were later reworked for 'Goats Head Soup 2020'. Its possible he doesnt want to risk any copyright issues, which is reasonable enough !

You're welcome, but Voodoo sent the group e-mail.  I'm not that efficient. ;)

I've been walking Battersea Park
Singing until the larks
But people think I'm lazy

've been walking some Massachusetts Beach
Working on a peach
But people think I'm lazy



Etc. etc,


Is it possible that this is a compo tape (by Donald Was? Matt Clifford? Mike & Teeth? for Universal?) of old tunes worked on in the last two or few years. And even weeks?

Was 'Part Of The Night' or 'Can't Find Love' what Keith was working on (with Don Wasp) in the recent photos?.

And there's that lovely track - whichever one it is - with Jogger and then both G Twins crooning on..Major trousers...

As they say in West Yorkshire - "There's a fair welter of lovely cracker-barrels here, mother. But only 50 so far?"


Better elation than never.











.

Yowza.

In the Middle Of the Ocean is basically Everything is Turning to Gold. Might as Well Get Juiced is infinitely better than the album version. Just so much great stuff they have that's unreleased and never developed. I have never understood why they don't just work on what they already have and put out albums of stuff already written but not quite in album shape.

Gazza, thank you !
this is incredible !

Great boot, listened to the mp3 already, cds came today.

Really great find! And 2 more sets to come.. although I am still waiting for closer then close part II haha.

Wel;l, I hope someone likes it to correct all the dates of the songs. Some are Mick solo demo's (like Dreams to remember), and some VL stuff,

All in all, some great, great songs, song ideas!

You''re welcome. Guesswork for the most part, although I;m noting some of the comments on other sites and social media from people who (unlike me) have a well trained musical ear and who can tell the era and musicians by the drum sound or type of guitar being played.

The credits are a mess. I think a lot of these tracks have been gathered together and in some cases worked on years after they were originally recorded probably with a view to putting them on some kind of archives project that was either shelved or which still may happen.



Some Guy wrote on Mar 5^th, 2021 at 7:27am:

Presumably one of the two ways that studio recordings usually get bootlegged.  They were either leaked or stolen.

There are supposedly two more volumes of this stuff in the pipeline (I have absolutely no idea what will be on them).

Thanks Gazza. 2 favorites already after one time listening: Dreams to Remember and Eliza Upchink. Great tracks.

Just listening... Dreams To Remember (Otis Redding) - it's not the Stones. It's Mick and probably Ronnie but it's neither Charlie nor Bill nor Keef. Don't Lie To Me the same.
But, yeah, I love Otis Redding, and this rendition is lotsa fun. Well done, Mick.

While listening further, it seems to me that those songes tagged 1982 or 1983 are Mick's solo-efforts. But great stuff.

Dreams to Remember. If you can't tell that is Keith on guitar on the right channel I don't know what to say???? Oh ya great drumming by Charlie!  :o

According to Marko, the flac files are actually sourced from the mp3 files that were already in circulation, so we're still waiting on a lossless version

Hi everybody, as the flac version of the boot was not tagged at all and the flacs had been created from mp3, I made a fully tagged mp3/320 kbps version of it, suitable for Itunes or else. The years I wrote in the tags of the songs are those noted on the backsleeve of the CD and might be incorrect. Feel free to download it; link should be available for one week.
Have fun!

https://we.tl/t-KAj3ffH0a6

Good man. Thanks very much. I'll re-share the link in the first post in this thread too.

Thanks Gazza this is awesome  :D :D :D :D

It could be that they've got so many trousers in their trouser cupboards that they're wondering which might add commercially/most gorgeously/moody moods-wise to 'Really Wanna Tell Ruth' and others more recent.

So while i am still very Happy with these 50 new outtakes, really hope  it wont take another year before we will get the new volumes... ;)

Does this kill the new album?

"YouTube account and channel has been pulled by universal!" :forfucksake

I am afraid, that because of Universal taking down the You tube videos, and all the hussle f maybe Stones lawyers the next thing wont happen.

I mean, probably the upcoming two new batches of the great new outtakes wont happen??

I hope they will happen, ofcourse. Maybe Mathijs can show some light on this?

STONES UNTURNED

Treasure trove of 50 unreleased Rolling Stones songs mysteriously emerges online

RECORD label bosses are probing the leak of an incredible treasure trove of 50 unreleased Rolling Stones songs spanning their near 60 year career.

The high quality studio recordings stem from the 1960s with band founder member Brian Jones, through the 70s with guitarist Mick Taylor right through to recent era with Ronnie Wood.

But their release this week on pirate ‘bootleg’ CDs and availability on various Rolling Stones’ fan sites has baffled music experts as to how they were liberated.

It is thought the songs were being readied for a full label release - given the studio quality - and that hackers grabbed them or someone leaked it.

The Stones are currently signed to Polydor in the UK and Interscope in the US - both part of Universal.

The leak has created massive excitement on Rolling Stones fan sites.

Among the gems on the three disc collection, simply called Fully Finished Studio Outtakes, is what many fans are calling one of the groups’ holy grail recordings – the original demo of It’s Only Rock ‘N Roll featuring David Bowie and Ronnie Wood before he joined the band.

It was made in spring 1974 during a jam session at the recording studio in Ronnie Wood’s famed former Richmond home, The Wick.

A few members of the Stones were present but Mick Jagger loved it so much that he not only used the song as the band’s next single but it also became the name of their forthcoming album.

When the single finally saw the light of day both Ronnie Wood and David Bowie’s parts had been erased.

Stones’ superfan Mike Andrews, a builder, 47, from east London, said: “The It’s Only Rock ‘N Roll demo has a legendary status amongst Stones fans, most of whom thought it had either been lost or would never see the light of day because of contractual problems as it featured David Bowie.

“Now it’s easily available for all to hear and what a cracker it is!

“How these 50 songs were made available is a complete mystery with some fans thinking it might have been a case of cyber crime and someone hacking into the Stones’ archive vault.”

Other songs on the set include outtakes from classic albums such as Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, and Black And Blue

MASSIVE EXCITEMENT
Many of the song are unknown even to Stones’ experts and include the following titles: Hands Off, Curtis Meets Smokey, Troubles A-Coming, 20 Nil and Every Time I Break Her Heart.

One theory being discussed on Stones’ fan sites is that the songs had been worked on and readied for up and coming archive releases.

The leak has created massive excitement on Rolling Stones fan sites. One of the most popular forums It’s Only Rock ‘N Roll - the website of the fan club set up in 1980 - has had fans purring and debating from which eras and albums the songs come from.

A user posted a link to the download this week.

Apparently 500 actual factory-pressed CDs have been pressed costing around £50 each for the 3CD release.

Mathijs wrote: “It’s fantastic, and it all sounds very much like it is remixed and mastered recently, Perhaps for the current Deluxe reissues.”

U2Stonesfans wrote: “I do not see how the band could not be in on this release somehow. Or they have a thief with access to the vault amongst their inner circle. This stuff is fantastic!. I’m dedicating my day to listening to this gem of a release!”

Deardoctor wrote: “This is really D-day for us collectors. So great. What an amazing sound quality!”

Cristiano Radtke wrote: “Event of the year and THE best Stones bootleg in years. Many many thanks to all the people involved.”

Well, one of them love the 66-67 stones

this seller has sold 20 copies previously. new listing...

(just sold one minute ago)

(i don't know about the original 20 copies this italian seller sold, but this listing says "will
ship on april 1." the swedish seller who sold 102 copies has positive feedback already from
happy recipients of the item)
addendum: was able to check the original 20 sold -- they had immediate shipping --
so at least this seller (100% positive feedback) is expecting more copies -- which
is intriguing

I'd consider it if these were the lossless versions of these tracks.

Back up on youtube (for now) as one continuous upload

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfnvHjydd0E

Back in spring 1999 at the end of the No Security Tour, there was talk of a 'new' studio album coming out to coincide with the European leg of the tour. It was to be called 'Memory Hotel'.

Bjornulf on IORR even confirmed it in a news entry dated 21st May stating that it was due out on May 31st and that :

No news about the tracks on the CD, but it might be outtakes from the previous two albums, that are supposed to be finished for production by now.

https://iorr.org/news9905.htm

No track listing for this record ever leaked and of course it never came out. It seems incredulous that a few days before a release date no one would know what was on it and equally improbable that it would have been pulled at such a late stage, but it did appear that there was a project of this nature in the works.

Which makes me wonder if some of the songs on this 3-CD set were being prepared for this release and they just didnt get it finished on time.

A bit of research seems to indicate that 'Ivy League' and 'Hands off' come from the Voodoo Lounge sessions and that, as well as the alternate takes we have here of four Bridges to Babylon songs, the following five tracks all appear to come from the sessions for that album - 20 Nil, Desperate Man, Dream About, Prairie Love and Sanctuary.

That's seven tracks which with a bit of work could have ended up on this 'Tattoo You II' type release.  There were also a few other completed songs that we know about from this era (Honest Man from Voodoo Lounge sessions amongst several others and a few uncirculated but supposedly finished songs for BTB with Keith on vocals such as Ever Changing World, High or Low, I'm Cured etc.

Certainly enough material for an album of leftovers from that 1993 - 1997 era.

I dunno, this night some user postet da link to a flac-version on exystence dot net (right sidebar) which weighs more than the 1,27 gb of the circulating flac: 1,33 gb. But its on a server that only gives very slow dl for free (nitroflare) so it will last too long 4 me and my swaggering www-connection.

Does anyone know where i can order the pshysical cd's? I have the download, but the real thing would be even better..
Jeroen

As someone who is in IORR told me via facebook, the tracks on the CDs are lossy, too. So it may be as assumed: As the source could be a hack, the snitched sources are lossy. So we possibly have the best available quality here alreday. On guitars101 you can find it mastered by someone. I downloaded it yesterday but yet have not heard it in comparison.

btw: intmusic dot com has it now, too.

     Finished Outtakes Volume 1 -- Album Review


https://i.imgur.com/9TI0gYW.jpg


This is a preliminary review, because the album is only 
beginning to sink in...

After the second listening, I deleted "nobody's perfect" from
Volume 1 and put it in a miscellaneous folder. It seems like
a pretty good Jagger song but it doesn't fit in with the other
14 tracks. Given the album title, ironically, its just too
finished, too polished...

The other 14 tracks blend well, without total individuation
for me at this point, and i mean that in a good way. Like a fun
party where you haven't been introduced to everybody yet.

In other words, I'm hearing it almost like a concept album.
Secure and masculine. Sure, it would clean up good for
polite company, but why bother? With everything else so
go-pro these days, this informal and intimate mode is a
sound for sore ears. Yeah, if in this batch of tunes there
was a "start me up" or "brown sugar", i'd want to hear how
the Stones would perfect it. But since there isn't, fuck it,
its cool the way it is. Why put in all the extra effort for
no real gain. Why put on airs.

So i think the name "fully finished outtakes" means we're
hearing these tracks at the point when the Stones were
finished with them emotionally. They could've pushed on,
polishing them up, because that's what you're supposed to do.
But honestly there wouldn't have been any profit in it,
artistically or commercially...

(The exception of course is "lowdown" which was gussied up
for "babylon", and it sort of illustrates my point. There
was a commercial reason in 1997 to push on (to complete
an album that was the theme of a big tour) so they did, and
they did get an improved result, but if the market wasn't
compelling them, and in the end all we had now was keith's
outtake version, we wouldn't be missing a whole hell of a lot)

Bottom line: The Stones have let me into the studio with them!
So "Volume 1" is now my favorite album. At this moment in history,
it fits me like a glove. For how long, we'll see. I mean,
i very much like "flowers", "satanic", "goat's head", "iorr",
and "steel wheels", but those 5 never even spent one day as
my favorite album... 

Let me tell ya something. In 2021, at my age, not to mention the age
of the Stones, a new favorite album is quite the blessing, no matter
how flawed somebody else might think it is. nobody's perfect.

Listening to this stuff a lot over the last few days and reading a lot of the comments on various sites and social media pages by people with a decent musical ear, we can narrow down these recordings as follows. Note - this is not necessarily definitive. In maybe about 20-30% of the cases, its educated guesswork 

A special nod to Nico Zentgraf's always excellent Complete Works website  - www.nzentgraf.de - and it's corresponding facebook page.


Note : in a lot of these cases, overdubs may have been done some considerable time afterwards

She's Doing Her Thing - 'Satanic Majesties' sessions, Olympic Studios, London, October 1967

Blood Red Wine - 'Beggars Banquet' sessions, Olympic Studios, London, May 1968

Curtis Meets Smokey - 'Let It Bleed' sessions, Olympic Studios, London 23 April 1969. The same date as the 'Jamming with Edward' session, so the line up is probably Mick, Bill, Nicky, Charlie and Ry Cooder.

Walk With Me Wendy - 'Sticky Fingers' sessions, Olympic Studios, London, June-July 1970.

Tell Her How It Is - 'Sticky Fingers/Exile' sessions, Rolling Stones Mobile, Stargroves/Olympic Studios, London, October 1970.  Overdubs in New York/LA or London, Autumn 2009. This is the much bootlegged instrumental 'Potted Shrimp' with a latter day vocal. Presumably an outtake from the 2010 'Exile' reissue.

Criss Cross - 'Goats Head Soup' sessions, Dynamic Sound Studios, Kingston December 1972 and Island Studios, London, May-June 1973.

It's Only Rock 'n' Roll - 'It's Only Rock 'n' Roll sessions, The Wick, Richmond, Dec 4-6, 1973. Original demo, featuring Mick, Ronnie, Kenney Jones & David Bowie.

Too Many Cooks - Mick Jagger solo project, Record Plant, Los Angeles, December 1973

Fast Talking, Slow Walking ; Living In The Heart Of Love - 'Its Only Rock 'n' Roll' sessions, Musicland Studios, Munich, Feb-Mar 1974

Scarlet - 'Black and Blue' (or unspecified) sessions, The Wick, Richmond, October 1974. Other recordings possibly at another date. Not a full Stones session.

Built That Way - 'Black and Blue' sessions, Rolling Stones Mobile, Rotterdam, Jan-Feb 1975.

Covered In Bruises ; Everytime I Break Her Heart ; Fiji Jim ; Never Make You Cry ; You Win Again - 'Some Girls' sessions, Pathe-Marconi Studios, Paris, October - December 1977

Not The Way To Go - 'Emotional Rescue' sessions, RCA Studios, Hollywood, September 1978

Trouble's A-Comin' - 'Emotional Rescue' sessions, Compass Point Studios, Nassau, January-February 1979

It's a Lie - 'Emotional Rescue' sessions, Pathe Marconi Studios, Paris June-July / Sep-Oct 1979

Can't Find Love ; Cooking Up ; Eliza Upchink ; I Tried To Talk Her Into It ; I've Got Dreams To Remember ; Keep It Cool ; Part Of The Night ; Still In Love With You ; (You Better) Stop That - 'Undercover' sessions, Pathe-Marconi Studios, Paris, November - December 1982.

Big Truff - 'Undercover' sessions, Compass Point Studios, Nassau / Hit Factory, New York - May 1983. (Song is listed here as 'Dog Shit' which was the working title before vocals were added. The music may have been recorded at the previous session in Paris)

I Can't See NoOne Else ; Putty In Your Hands - 'Dirty Work' sessions, Pathe-Marconi Studios, Paris, April-June 1985

Deep Love ; Strictly Memphis - 'Dirty Work' sessions, RPM Studios, New York July - August 1985

Giving It Up - AIR Studios, Montserrat, March - May 1989

20 Nil ; Desperate Man ; Dream About ;  Flip The Switch ; Lowdown ; Might As Well Get Juiced ; Prairie Love ; Sanctuary ; Too Tight - 'Bridges To Babylon' sessions, Ocean Way Studios, Los Angeles, March - June 1997

Extreme Western Grip ; Well, Well - '40 Licks' sessions, Studio Guillaume Tell, Suresnes, Paris, May-June 2002.

The following two songs are a bit more contentious

Don't Lie To Me - some speculation its a Jagger solo rehearsal from LA in October 1987. More likely than not recorded as a warm up during the 'Dirty Work' sessions in Paris, April 1985

Nobody's Perfect - some reckon it's another 'Dirty Work' outtake from New York, July-August 1985. Personally, I think it's not the Stones but a Mick Jagger solo recording, possibly the 'Primitive Cool' sessions at Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum, Netherlands, November - December 1986.

The two '40 Licks' songs were previously released on the 'Four Flicks' DVD. 'Blood Red Wine' has been available on bootlegs for over 40 years. I'm open to correction, but whilst a few of the other songs have either been released officially or circulated unofficially before, all of the versions here are new to circulation.

Songs are probably all Jagger-Richards, with the following exceptions :

'IORR' is officially Jagger-Richards of course, but as can be seen here, it's really a Jagger-Wood composition.  Both of them wrote this song and 'I Can Feel The Fire' together. Mick left his writing credit off the latter song which appears on Ronnie's debut solo album (although Mick sings on it) and Ronnie left his credit off the song that became the title track of the next Rolling Stones album.  Not the wisest business move of his career.

'Covered in Bruises' is probably Jagger-Wood, but was rewritten and re-titled '1234' and became the title track of Ronnie's 1981 solo album, released in the same week as 'Tattoo You'. The released version is solely credited to Ronnie :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIJYXiJ25-0

'Putty In Your Hands' was written by Big John Patton and released by The Shirelles on their 1962 LP 'Baby It's You'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_BZpAUPCe0

'I've Got Dreams To Remember' was written by Otis Redding, Zelma Redding and Joe Rock. It was recorded by Otis Redding in November/December 1967 and was one of the last songs he cut before he was killed on December 10 of that year. It was released on 'The Immortal Otis Redding' in June 1968.

In the Stones' version, Mick sings some different lyrics in the verses

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

'Too Many Cooks' - I've seen this song as being credited to Willie Dixon, but it wasn't. His version is on youtube and while there a few similar lines, its a different song. It  was written by Angelo Bond/Ronald Dunbar/Edith Wayne. (Angelo Bond was a '70s soul singer who scored a Top 40 R&B hit in 1975 with "Reach for the Moon (Poor People). Ronald Dunbar was an American songwriter, A&R director and record producer who worked closely with Holland–Dozier–Holland, and with George Clinton. His co-writing credits include the hit songs "Give Me Just a Little More Time", "Band of Gold", and "Patches", for which he won a Grammy. He worked with songwriters and record producers Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Eddie Holland, in an uncredited capacity, until they left Motown over a financial dispute in 1968. Dunbar remained with the three when they set up Holland–Dozier–Holland Productions Inc., and the Invictus and Hot Wax labels, where he became A&R director. Dunbar began to be credited as a songwriter in his own right, as half of a writing partnership with "Edith (or Edyth) Wayne". The latter is now acknowledged to have been a pseudonym used by Holland, Dozier and Holland, who were unable to use their own names because they were legally contracted to Jobete, Motown's song publishing arm).

The earliest version I know of (its probably the original) was recorded in 1971, two years before Mick's cover and is by Detroit R&B band 8th Day on their self titled debut album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFCdmz6YgKY

'Don't Lie To Me' was written by Hudson Whittaker (aka Tampa Red) in 1940 as 'Don't You Lie To Me'  and covered by other artists such as Fats Domino.

The original :

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


The Stones' probably heard it when Chuck Berry covered it on his 1961 album 'New Juke Box Hits'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzXqsxAwP6Q

The Stones'  studio version is from Chess Studios in Chicago on 10-11 June 1964. It was eventually released on 'Metamorphosis' in June 1975.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZmHrD-0Qc8

They first recorded it for the BBC Radio show 'Saturday Club' on 3rd Feb 1964.


The song was performed once - in Fort Worth on 24th June 1972.  There's also a circulating version from a mid-tour rehearsal the day before.



CORRECTIONS WELCOME!

Other people did the Dirty Work. I just collate it!

(I forgot that 'Too Many Cooks' was a cover, so I added the details for that one)

That's too much, it took you time, now we all have this great summary

Tbanks again

Historically, to me the most relevant and one I was waiting so long it's IORR at the Wick

Yes that was a bit of a holy grail one for me as well.  I was actually pleasantly surprised how 'finished' it was. I expected something much rougher. Then again, Woody is on guitars, bass and vocals so what we're hearing obviously had quite a bit of work done on it before Keith got anywhere near it. I did expect Bowie to be more prominent on it, however.  Seems a bit strange to have a voice like that in your studio and then tell him to add a few handclaps and a few barely audible backing vocals. As I said elsewhere, its akin to having Hendrix at a session and asking him to play the triangle.

is the Flac or the 320mp3 sourced from the original VBR mp3 posted at IORR?

I'm unaware of any the versions so far being lossless. They're all sourced from mp3 source.

Maybe once someone gets the factory pressed discs they'll be able to check if they're lossless.

comic book from 1975. didnt realize the bowie connection was known so soon. just read
a 1974 keith interview about the song, and he definitely didnt mention bowie. or ronnie.

also i've always heard that ronnie wrote it with mick. but i just read a ronnie quote:
"mick came to me 'i wrote this song, help me out with it, so i can hear how it sounds'"
apparently mick had the whole thing already?

i don't hear bowie either, but i definitely hear another voice besides mick and ronnie,
high-pitched, so i guess thats bowie doing a background-singer voice?

WOW, tomorrow's header!!! Thanks Rev!

I havent seen that magazine cover in a long time. I recall seeing it in a Stones book in the early 80's. Great cartoon.

Yes, its Bowie Ok. Keith's memory is a bit off as he also says in one interview they dubbed over Kenney Jones - which (as Charlie confirms) wasn't the case.

Some more info from http://www.timeisonourside.com/SOIt%27sOnlyRock.html


Mick (Jagger) and I worked out I Can Feel the Fire and after we'd done that, he said, Help me with this song 'cause I wanna see how it turns out. So, say on a Tuesday evening: two guitars - Mick and I - and Mick singing lead vocal and David Bowie and myself on backup vocals. Then I overdubbed the rest of the instruments last and it sounded like a good demo. So the next night, we wanted to put it in a more presentable shape so we got hold of Kenny Jones who plays the drums on the actual record. Ah... I ended up with just my acoustic guitar that I laid originally. Keith replaced - RIGHTLY SO - the guitars that I'd done electrically.

- Ron Wood, 1982

The idea of the song has to do with our persona at the time. I was getting a bit tired of people having a go, all that oh, it's not as good as their last one business. The single-sleeve had a picture of me with a pen digging into me as if it were a sword. It was a light-hearted, anti-journalistic sort of thing. We originally recorded it in Ronnie Wood's demo-studio.

- Mick Jagger, 1993

I didn't do that, that was done - I was in bed at the time of that... And that was done - Kenny played that, Kenny Jones, they pulled HIM out' cause he lived near to Richmond. It was done in a very beautiful house in Richmond that Ronnie used to own. Pete Townshend owns it now, there's a bit of name-dropping isn't it, you'll like that.

- Charlie Watts, 2003

We cut it but it just didn't have that one-off feel. So eventually we went back to the dub and overdubbed (laughs) on David and on Kenny and... did another one of those because it just had the right...

- Keith Richards, 2003

I said, But you forgot one thing, Keith, you forgot my twelve-string. And he said, (grunts) I left that on.

- Ron Wood, 2003

Interesting that Keith says that there was the Stones did re-record the song as a band, but ended up not using it.

I do like this song. It sounds like it may have evolved into something else released later on though, "One Hit"...maybe, I can't quite put my finger on it.
I also get a bit of a "All Along The watchtower" feel from it at times.
Put me down for a "Thumbs Up", either way.



I am a big fan of "Can't Find Love", can't believe its from the Undercover sessions, considering that was full of violent imagery and such. This could have bee a perfect last song for a complete 180 turn on the groove.

Like nearly all the songs , except for Nobody's perfect,Covered in Bruises, .

remains the big question:: when will we get our hands on Volume 4-5-6, and volume 7-8-9-.???

The Stones are on their trail, apparently.

Definitely from 1985. It's also known as '(I Can't See No One Else) Beside You'

There's been a very embryonic version of it (the verses anyway) of Mick & Keith fleshing it out in a rehearsal tape from January/February of that year in circulation for a very long time.  Its on bootlegs such as 'Glimmer Twins Private Tapes' and 'Hamnbird Disaster'

A seven minute version of it featuring the band circulated about 5-6 years ago.  The newly circulated version is two minutes shorter and a lot more developed.

So...giving disk 1 a good listening to as I am grilling dinner for the family...absolutely jaw dropping at times...how has all, most of this been kept so tightly sealed away??

It sounds amazing loud and outside with the beers flowing...

Agreed !  You got the right idea.  This release is not for Stones History class. Its for right now.

ALBUM REVIEW: LOVE VOLUME ONE


https://i.imgur.com/T7GijfO.jpg


There's no other word for it, I've been mainlining this album.
Once a day, usually after dinner, after a little red wine, I sprawl
out on the couch and return to the days of yore. Its lucky I'm not
smoking rope anymore, or it would be more than once a day I'm sure.

After 10 of these listening sessions, I'm now friends with all the
tracks. I know their names, and even a little about their backgrounds.
Its a disparate bunch, in terms of age, birthplace and parenting, so
I'm still kind of shocked at what a consistent vibe this album has.

What's the tie that binds? Well, not counting his solo work, this is
the most Keith Richards album ever. Even more than on Exile, his rhythm
guitar is leading and elevating the band, and inspiring Mick, raising
the bar for everybody. When the music is this strong, you don't have
to care so much about song structure and lyrics. Or at least I don't.

Random notes:

1) One of the absolute revelations of "On Air" was Wyman's bass being
given prominence in the mix. Same with this release.

2) The proper name for track 9 is "God Shit". It may not have fit
well into a mid-80s commercial album, but there will always be an
honored place for it in my. blue. heaven.

3) The proper name for track 5 is "Old Eliza Jane". It is the Stones'
version of the many "Liza Jane" variations that originated in the
early 19th century and which became standardized in Appalachia and
New Orleans as "Lil Liza Jane" (young and a real sweetheart) and
"Good Bye Eliza Jane" (when she's gotten jaded and just uses men
for their money, until they inevitably smarten up and kick her to
the curb). Its easy to guess which tradition Mick has adapted:
Old Eliza's gambling/Old Eliza Jane/Old Eliza gone back in time/
Back on the streets again

4) Mick blows me away on track 15. To work out the melody, instead of
using placeholder lyrics, like mccartney's "scrambled eggs" for
"yesterday", or repetitive scat syllables like "da-da-dee-da-da",
Mick uses stream-of-consciousness near-words to get at the emotion
of the song first. We've heard this before, on this or that missing
line, but never for a whole song with lots of lyrics. The result is
artistry that easily stands on its own merits, even though it would
never be allowed on a standard blues-rock release. Its smooth jazz.
I love it when a Stones album closes with something dream-like.

5) I haven't head-to-head compared Goats Head Deluxe "Scarlet" with
this one, but for some reason I like this one more. Maybe its just
my imagination, thinking this one's so much better. Whatever. Always
take the pleasure where you find it.

6) I'm glad they left off the three other tracks that were on those
ebay CDs. "Nobody's Perfect" and "Lowdown" are good, but the former
is too Dave Stewart and the latter is too Winos. As for "walk with
me wendy", that's the track they should've called "dog shit". You
can hear poor Mick Taylor and Billy Preston way in the background
doing their virtuoso thing, but Jagger and Richards are both so
loud and grating they make the whole thing unlistenable.

7) Anyway, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm still happily overwhelmed by
the unvarnished brilliance of "Love Volume One". Its a conceptually
cohesive killer album for me, not a collection of unrelated fragments.
That's why i'm very glad i haven't gotten my hands on "love volume
two" yet. I need more time. I don't want to OD.

Gazza... is it Eliza Upchink or Lipchink as you posted in tracks list...

Upchink!

ALBUM REVIEW: LOVE VOLUME ONE

More days, more listens...

I wish i had the balls to say what i really think,
that "love volume one" is the greatest Stones album
ever. But i don't want to be put in a mental hospital.

So i'll just keep refering to it more acceptably as
my "current favorite".

Every track is peak Stones musically (not in terms
of hit songs). So there's no way i can move on to
volume two yet. I would feel like i was cheating on
a great girlfriend. Also i can't conceive of volume two
being anywhere near this good.

So for now i'll keep burning volume one deep into my
DNA, and try not to become too unmoored as i face
this absurdly unlikely blast of Keith/Stones ecstacy
in the year fucking 2021.

With all due respect, y'all are underestimating this album
as badly as the people of 1972 underestimated Exile.
And for the same reasons.

Just listened to Covered in Bruises again. After about 4 spins, i appreciate a bit more.
Just waiting on Vol 4-5-6.

Jeroen

Ok...I have received the silvers from Italy via Ebay. When I use EAC the files appear to be lossless. First track is 41.5 mb wav. I have taken pictures of EAC log and Spek analysis but am an amateur at reading them and don't know how to post them here. I could email pictures to an expert?

ALBUM REVIEW: LOVE VOLUME TWO


https://i.imgur.com/AlD9Yhu.jpg


1) After training my ear with "love volume one" and its
different somewhat radical aesthetic, it was much easier to get into
volume two. Two is great too, perhaps just not as great as one.

2) On volume one, Keith was at his most brilliant and
rightly dominated the band. That's the highest form of
"peak stones" (as famously exhibited on their historic
"big four" run of albums). With "love volume two" we get
to hear the lesser form of "peak stones" wherein the creative
energy behind the music is sourced from everybody. For
example, the contribution of the piano players on volume
two is deservedly spotlighted more. Jagger shares more
in the band leader role.

3) I don't know who came up with the idea, on both volumes,
of making Mick, for the first time ever, as FREE as the
guitarists to mess around, go wherever his emotions take
him, even skip his parts. A mick jagger unfettered by any
commercial constraints or genre conventions, just being himself,
is certainly one of the highlights for me of this year, or any year.

4) From what i've read on the stones fan forums, apparently
i'm still the only one in possession of these two albums.
I don't understand that at all. What's so special about
me that I should be blessed this way? Or am I just dreaming?
Or worse yet, dead, in some impossibly sweet afterlife?

5) Wish you were here.

Thanks for that.

I'm assuming '20 Nil' being credited as 2004 (ie, a 'Bigger Bang' outtake') is a typo. I think he means 1997.  I recall Don Was confirming they used everything for ABB.

"they who have ears, let them hear" Matthew 13:43

"there's lots of things in the vault we're working on
that are going to come out" mick jagger sep 2020

"new music on the horizon" keith richards feb 2021


1) I promise this is the last time I push this passion project
of mine. Sadly, your only compensation for being patient with me
is a couple of download links at the end.

2) At the very least, we can agree that the "finished outtakes"
can be divided into "substantially new" and "not".

3) A further breakdown could be "artifacts" versus "fresh tracks".
Primary amongst the "artifacts" is of course the bowie demo of "iorr".
Nobody can argue against its historical importance. But it is
not "fresh" in the sense i'm using the word. It hasn't been
updated or worked on.

4) Other reasons for non-inclusion of various "outtakes"
include "too mick", "too keith","too been-there-done-that",
or simply because the track does not have enough of the
ragged private-stash vibe that characterizes this collection.

5) Generally speaking, the bonus outtakes on the deluxe albums
have mostly been Mick Jagger products, where he's completed the
lyrics and re-done the vocals in an approximation of his vocal
style at the time of the original session. I appreciate his efforts,
but I don't think the results heretofore have been particularly great.
The deluxe bonus tracks generally sound like what they are. Concoctions.
Imitations.

6) So the first thing i noticed after my first few listens of
"fully finished outtakes" was how many tracks sounded not at all
like concoctions. Mostly because of the very different way Jagger's
vocals and lyrics were handled.

7) But neither did these new tracks sound "raw". Not talking just
about the sound quality. Rather it was clear SOMEBODY had recently
put in a LOT of post-production work on the music.

8) Specifically (in my opinion) four SOMEBODIES, working in two
teams: Keith and Don Was, Mick and Matt Clifford, with Don and
Matt handling the negotiations between the teams. A) Keith got
the time to layer and color with his guitars, to his heart's
content. That's the biggest reason these "Love" tracks have
so much classic-Stones depth. B) Another reason is that Don has
augmented the bass and Matt the keyboards on many of the tracks.
C) And Mick has (happily) agreed that his vocals, whether original
or new, be buried somewhat, that is, be used more as an instrument
than as a hook.

9) Another important division that has persisted throughout the
Stones career is "classic blues rock/big hits/in your face numbers"
versus "groove tracks/mood pieces". The "blues rock" and "big hits"
categories are obvious. But don't forget the "in your face" tracks have
also been key to their huge fame. Stuff like "star fucker",
"doom and gloom", "under my thumb", "sister morphine" etc,
songs where the theme captures a great deal of the attention.

However, for a significant fraction of hardcore fans, including me,
the groove tracks and mood pieces are also very important: lyrics
minimal or buried, choruses and bridges minimal. Stuff like "turd
on the run", "heaven", "pretty beat up", "parachute woman",
"just wanna see his face" etc...

8) So that's my contention basically, that out of the 50 tracks
we were gifted, there are about 28 that more or less meet these
"fresh" criteria, and more or less flow into each other as easily
as, for example, the very dissimilar tracks of "sticky fingers" do.
Or perhaps a better parallel would be "Tattoo you" with its various
recording dates (although the average track on these "Love" albums
is far superior to the average track on "Tattoo"). Also: amazingly
these new tracks flow without me at all changing the playing order.
That's because none of the 28 are "in your face" tracks needing to
be placed and spaced carefully.

9) in summary, these two "Love" compilations are strictly a musical
journey for we, the few, the proud, the Stones cognizati.

I hear these two volumes as a validictory statement by the band,
consisting of what they most like about themselves. Not the fame, not
the money, not the controversy, not even the hit songs. But rather
the MUSIC, both spontaneous and crafted. Commerce for once be damned.

And that's why the Stones needed to make these tracks free. Today's market
just would never fucking understand.

Not sure how 'Undercover' fits in this set if its supposed to be from 1997, so I guess its a collection over several years.

This is great.

Since the link I posted sucked or expired, here's another, valid for one week

https://we.tl/t-bQM8wTXb54

Track 2 is a cover of Otis Redding's 'Don't Mess With Cupid', which was the 1966 b-side of 'My Lover's Prayer', written by Eddie Floyd/Steve Cropper/Deanie Parker.

Here's the original. Quite a song for a non-LP b-side.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPHY0YYc6yU


The OP's comment seems to suggest he's under the impression the songs are from the same session.  Obviously that's not correct. The five songs we already know are from the sessions for the albums that their released versions appeared on - Undercover,  Voodoo Lounge and Bridges To Babylon

'Don't Want Somebody Else' opens with the words of one of the studio engineers who also features on some of the sessions of the Voodoo Lounge sessions, so  it could be from that session.

'Dont Mess with Cupid'. Presumably from the early or mid 80's, so either Undercover or Dirty Work sessions. My guess its the former.

Ronnie still likes this song He played a few licks from it on his radio show in 2011.

Marko has also made them available as wav files on megaupload here :

Have to say the song I keep going back to from this collection is 'Still In Love With You'. No doubt there's some overdubs added post-1983 but it really turned out to be a lot better than what anyone could have foreseen in the various outtakes that have been circulating over the last few decades.

Absolutely gorgeous track, and a hook to die for.

Guys, what we have here is a real good new Stones Album.

I, too, really love that one as well as the other from 1983, "Can't Find Love"...and "Dreams to remember"...they were on FIRE in 83...recharged from the craziness of 81/82...

On the "circumstantial evidence" thread, i tried for a while to keep up with the
various CDs available on ebay. the main difference seems to be "factory-pressed"
versus CD-R. but nobody that i know of has documented any difference in sound
quality, yet some people seem to swear by the "factory-pressed" option

all versions so far seem to be derived from mp3s. true lossless FLACS have not
appeared yet.

there is no confirmed info as to who made this leak, or why.

Mick Jagger talking about the Bridges to Babylon
recording sessions:
"I mean, in the end, it's not like, you know, Bitches Brew.
We're not going off into the stratosphere. Just a little bit.
The grooves are a little bit different."

Wikipedia on Bitches Brew:
"As usual with Miles Davis's recording sessions, he gave a few
instructions, a tempo count, a few chords or a hint of melody,
and suggestions as to mood or tone. Davis liked to work this way.
He thought it forced musicians to pay close attention to one another.
Bitches Brew also pioneered (for jazz) the application of the studio
as a musical instrument, using editing as a form of composition."

1) Indulge me for a minute. What if we are to take the
title "fully finished outtakes" literally? What if
the 28 tunes i've highlighted have indeed been worked
on substantially and are in their INTENDED final form?
What then?

2) I'll tell you "what then": the Stones would have
invented a new genre of rock music.

3) Like all new music genres, it certainly has antecedents.
Besides the Miles/jazz connection, if we are just referencing
the Stones, the earliest is the final 8 minutes of "goin' home".

4) The radical thing about many of the tracks on
The Love Volumes is they purposely exist in this
unexplored territory between jams and songs. Including
vocalizing emotive semi-words.

5) Obviously this is not far removed from what the Stones
have done in the studio for decades. Start with a riff
and run with it. The problems started when Mick got sick
of being left holding the bag, of having to complete
the lyrics/melodies/song structures in order to get the
material into shape for the market.

6) So up til recently there have been only two choices.
Shape the band's real music into something commercial,
or abandon it. But now we suddenly have this new third
choice. Like Miles Davis, use the studio to perfect the
groove you've already found, not to make it more palatable
to the average consumer (who is no longer interested in
the Stones) 

7) We need a name for this new genre. A name that encompasses
some very different tracks, from "keep it cool" to "covered
with bruises". I've looked through at least a thousand
names of musical forms and styles hoping to find one I
could adapt or steal, but no luck. A not-catchy-enough
name would be "charlie watts rock", because charlie doesn't
like rock, but he does like this kind of playing, because of
its similarities to jazz. (charlie's performances on
"the love volumes" are a particular treat, often so powerful
that he's not just guiding the band, he's leading it)

8) short music lesson: "keep it cool". a lot of people
apparently hear this track as not-much-happening.
I hear it as the band seamlessly moving through
about 10 variations on a theme.

and all these variations are achieved without harmonica,
sax, or background singers. remarkable.

also, its not coincidental that both Outtakes and Bitches contain
a track called "sanctuary"

9) In acting and in jazz, the phrase "polished improvisation"
is sometimes used. Bitches Brew is also often called jazz-rock.
but The Love Volumes are too distinct from Bitches to share a
category. Names like "groove rock","cool rock","babylon rock",
"voodoo rock" are all in use to some extent and not encompassing
enough.

10) So for now, "finished outtakes" is not just the title
of the bootleg, its also the best name we have so far for
this new genre. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but I
can't come up with a better one.

11) Hey. Wait a minute. I said I hated the title "dog shit"
for one of my favorite tracks. But I gotta admit "dog shit rock"
or just plain "dog shit" as the ironic genre name is kinda perfect.

12) "Dog Shit" it is!

"There is nothing I want so much as some more dog shit."

"Next album I hope the Stones don't go back to cleaning
up all the dog shit"

"Oh man, Love volume 3 is just as great. The Stones have
really stepped in it again!"

13) Yeah, "dog shit" works. But I still like "God Shit" better.
I don't know, whichever is less offensive.

Dreams to Remember

(otis redding's original is a straight-forward remembrance
of romance past, and the hope of re-kindling it. mick instead
preaches about the importance of remembering sleep dreams.
fyi, both keith and i were seeing the same shrink in NYC,
anita stevens. circumstantial evidence, including this song,
indicates that mick probably saw her as well at an earlier time.
She always asked about any dreams you could remember. They gave
her important insight. And my sleep dreams give me insight about
myself to this very day)

(approx lyrics, corrections invited)

yes, you tell all your friends about it
(when you remember a strange or hot dream)
every time you wake up in the morning
you just forget everything
(most of the time)
but i tell ya,
i got dreams i can remember over and over again

i got rough dreams. bad dreams.
badder. badder. badder. ooh.
ahh, sometimes i can't even think about it anymore

there's someone knocking on my door
and i say "what?"
am i still asleep?
or am i just dreaming?
awake? or sleep walking?

Mister Smith, listen:
"you're in a state of sleepless nights and lonely days"

and i said, "Yes"
say what?
"Yow!"

Yeah I got dreams, dreams, dreams to remember
I got rough dreams, bad dreams, good dreams to remember.
Oh!

Yes I got dreams, I can't forget em

(here mick tells a dream he had about keith.
ronnie is referenced too)

Sometimes your best friend come to you
when he's working on the job, he says
"Can you lend me ten dollars?"
I say, "for what?"
"I said, shit, can you lend me ten dollars?"
I say, "for what?"
"I don't want to talk about it, just give me under
the table a ten dollar bill"
"I know what you guys are gonna buy. A fifth of whiskey."

I got dreams to remember
I got bold dreams, bad dreams, sad dreams to all remember

ooh yeah. she got dreams, dreams to remember
she got often bad ones, problems, sad dreams

sugar, i better stop it now
about that time, know what i'm talking about?

some tracks that some people think are great (nobody's perfect, desperate man,
strictly memphis, various with keith vocals...) i've never said anything negative about

for me, they just didnt flow right for my edit. sorta like Angie or SFTD, great as they

Oh, duh.  OK.

I had a misconception that an "official" boot called Love was dropped, using the cover art from the 6-song .mp3 collection, and that the 3-CD boots were dubs of that plus previously bootlegged or released material ("Blood Red Wine"; "Extreme Western Grip").

Mick Fails to Seduce Young Woman


(on Love Volume Two, for musical reasons i sequenced
"Sanctuary" into "Tried To Talk Her Into It".
It turns out the themes of the songs sequence as well,
and both themes are very unusual.
I don't have all the lyrics, but I have enough of them.
In "sanctuary" mick plays a creepy-voiced version of himself,
using his money, fame and wits to manuever a damsel towards his bedroom)



*sanctuary*

baby, come right in
and baby, come sit down
can i get you something to drink?
would you like to look around?

*sanctuary*

you are so beautiful, ah-huh

*you got to love somebody*

i don't want to stop
sugar its alright

*you got to love somebody*

baby, i've been waiting
i've been wanting to tell the world about it
you don't want to stop

i tell ya, change my world
cry to me, baby, its alright

*you got to love somebody*


(Then, in "tried to talk her into it", mick reveals that
his seduction failed )


i tried to talk her into it
one sweet night of love

i tried to say to what extent
my love for her was heaven sent

i tried to talk her into it
i tried to mess her into it
i tried to drink her into it
one sweet night of love

i tried to talk her into it
i gave her money, she refused
what would you do?

Woo!
One sweet night of love


(and how does mick feel about his seduction failing?
this is what's so unusual, he celebrates it with a hoedown!
Like Diogenes searching the earth for an honest man, mick has
at last found an honest woman, and fallen in love. Woo!)

The Love track that came closest to not making my compilation
was "dream about", because of its conventional song structure
and finished lyrics. Mick obviously brought this one into the
studio completely written.

But it made the cut because of the intimate vocal, the
sorta-Sade beat, the misty instrumental washes, and frankly,
because it brought a tear to my eye...


Lighten up a little bit, baby
And put a smile upon your face
Lighten up a little bit, baby
Put on some powder and some paint

Lighten up a little bit, babe
Put on some silk, put on some lace
C'mon, sugar

Let's see your broken smile
Broad as the River Nile
C'mon now, babe
Put on some powder and some paint

When all's said and done
We had the biggest fun
Accept my fond regrets
Let's stay the best of friends

And goodbye to the gilded youth
And so long to the velvet rooms
and the pain that is burning right in my heart

And goodbye to the gilded youth
and so long, if you need the proof
Feel the wounds that you gouged right into my heart

Don't you worry about a thing now, babe
Just because the train is pulling out
Wipe away those tears now
Put some lipstick on your mouth

No star-eyed view,
I know your heart is bruised
but you can't put the clock right back to the start

I’m late to the show. Did I miss my shot?

Dude, you shoulda hung out! It was awesome.

so, where are the other Volumes of FFSO.
Cant wait.Im Slipping Away !

20 Nil

a 5:45 tour de force from keith

nobody else can play like this,
not taylor, not clapton, not hendrix
nobody

to be honest, keith can't play like this
except he did, for 5 minutes and 45 seconds
on this one particular night in the studio
captured on tape.

i feel like i've sighted a thylacine

whatever mick's singing, its not important,
i think he's just saying a stream-of-consciousness version of
"go fuckin keith go", like a surreal carnival barker,
like an invocation of his demon brother

as keith just crushes it
("20 nil" is a measurement of crushed stone)*
completely in the moment, totally visceral 
pure feeling no thought
chords and notes squeezed and pulled til they're all but vocalized.
i can't say i've ever heard anything cooler, in terms of playing, from
the forever king of cool

and mick's not the only one hyped up on what keith's laying down --
charlie's drums are in a conversation with keith, egging him on

perfectly realized god shit. *sigh* wish more could hear it.

Yeah wish more could hear it

(approx lyrics)

Yeah, get it out of your hair
everyone out on the street are on it
Get it out of your hair
ahh, the press is insane,
yeah, lets pull it off
yeah, wenches exclaim,
get in there

yeah, ahh, get out of here now
get out of the path
whoa killer atmosphere
the bitches are hypnotized

ahhh get out of here
cant get them out of the path
yeah, i wanna see you on him
oh i just want to be fair
yeah i betcha his face's upon this
yeah i'll never let her out of there

its hard to call upon you
you could never get her
yes its hard to call her, upon him
yeah can't get them out of there


* i have been informed that "20 nil" is also a rugby score. so yeah,
mick could alternatively be a surreal coach or announcer, with
keith crushing it that way on the playing field. whatever.

I love all the Stones reggae rockers, a genre they invented in
1974 with Luxury, well ahead of The Clash. And this track here
is among their best, a get-your-ass-moving one-song street-fest.
Keith and Ronnie lock in together as only those two can.

Not The Way to Go

(approx lyrics. from back when it was legal for mick to sing in patois.
the music may be upbeat, but mick is not pleased with what he's been
seeing on the news. somebody's been telling tales out of school)

sunburnt baby, quitting on a dollar
rooming house raid, i'm-a dob in everyone

it's not the way to go

sunburnt baby, quitting on a dollar
rooming house raid, i'm-a dob in everyone

it's not the way to go

hey nah nah baby, i'm worried about it too
and i turned sunburnt, worried about you

it's not the way to go

eyes on my baby and now war on tv
putting out flames and talking about me

that's not the way to go

hey now sunburnt baby, that's not in the movies
the thing i must say, when they talking about me

it's not the way to go

hey my sunburnt babe, on the toll telephone
picking all the fans off, singing, i say...

that's not the way to go
that's not the way

its kinda unfair to mick, from a literary perspective,
to put into writing approximations of unfinished lyrics,
but from a musical perspective, these unpolished vocal
takes of his are just so damn refreshing.

i've watched the noomi rapace "doom and gloom" vid
at least 25 times. Love it. And how many times have
i put on the audio version for a musical thrill? zero.
Its a soundtrack tune, for the vid, for Avengers Endgame
(but certainly not for a Scorcese movie)

so in contrast here we have an audio track i've grooved to at least
50 times already. No vid, no forced bridge, no uninspired
chorus, no news commentary, just the band at full tilt.

i'm obviously not criticizing any of Jagger's market/media
manipulations, which i greatly admire, and which have
maintained the Stones as a significant commercial force
for six decades. And i look forward to more such nonsense
shortly, when there is a 60th greatest hits package to flog.
but as far as my personal preference in 2021, give me more
finished outtakes please. Give me more of keith and charlie's
version of the Stones. Its time to put the bow on the package.

You Better Stop That

On this track Mick meditates on that critical moment in a
love affair, when its not smooth sailing anymore, when
you have to decide if it's still worth the effort...


(approx lyrics)


what is her point of view?
what have you been going thru?
Judy lets you want a muse
Yeah but shes got the blues

feeling underwater loom
i know what youre going through
aint that what you call a love?

a savior?
a sailing love?
an insane love?
undecided love?

judy wants a way to prove
baby that shes got the belt on you
she won't let you go to the loo
you gotten burned by fire

i dont want your alpha bit
she knows you abandoned it
youre now in a world of shit   

(baby... dont abandon... some more... the sea of love)

you better stop that
you better stop that

judy wants your point of view
look at what you're going through
aint no way she can be pleased
yes yes yes let her go

she wants a world of shit
boy won't you abandon it?
you can never, can be brave

faded love
fell down in love
youve abandon love
youve abandoned love

whosoever point at you
boy am i going to
if you got unrequited love
not a sailing love
not a sailing love

you better stop that
you better drop that

on my compilation i did not include what is proving to be a popular track

Still In Love With You

just re-listened to it. its good, but i still think it doesnt quite fit in with
my selections, although its a close call

here's what IORR's ManuelStones says:


Still in Love stands out for me. Loved it without lyrics/vocals when it came out
years ago. Love it now with Mick's vocals and Keith's backing vocals/chorus.
Amazing song.

I'm gonna post the lyrics that I heard to Still In Love, I know some are
wrong, could someone please help me with the corrected lyrics. Thanks

Come with me, to crowded streets
through the rain, and through the heat,
can't you see, I'm crazy for you,
And I mean what I said,
I want you back,
All Im gone say,
it's a troubled question,
put an old fashioned way,

That involves, dusty houses,
and all those faded, avenues,
And I hate to see, the streets of sorrow,
turn your back, turn your back on tomorrow,
Yeah, i'm still in love with you,
and I thought sometime today,
I want you back,
I want you back right away,
my body's a wreck,
i said sometime today,

We can talk, for hours and hours,
stranger houses, the love i feel for you
you can take, sweet possessions,
the lover's question,
cant you see, I'm crazy,
I'm still in love with you,
and I want you back,
I want you today,
and I thought sometime today,

I want you back,
i said sometime today,

Interlude

And I walk, for hours,
uh, cause i'm finding dead flowers,
oh, I'm crazy, bout you,
Yeah, I want you back,
I wont never say,
my mind is stretched,
sometime today,

continuing disclaimer: mick is singing/slurring rough-draft lyrics,
being more concerned with the sounds and emotions than the words.
but i find it fascinating to hear/mishear him in the midst of shaping an idea.

Built That Way

1) not mick or keith's composing style, so i'm guessing that
it started with a 1950's sorta new orleans vamp between charlie
and the piano player. its a nice change to hear charlie playing without
his usual restraint.

2) the lyrics are a variation on the rolling stone/tumbling dice
theme: sorry, darl, love ya but i gotta move on

3) but there's humor to it too. mick knows its only partly true,
and partly kind of a convenient excuse: sorry, darl, its this
tragic flaw i have, its just the way i'm built, bye

4) he's not sloganeering, like with gaga's "born this way".
He's just a lucky guy being offered a lot of loving. he's not
ungrateful but, to be honest, for him at this point its
just sorta his life style.

5) in other words, he's just living his best life, playing the
hand he's been dealt. He's not moralizing or immoralizing about
how YOU should or shouldnt live your very different life.



cleared my head on a highway south
i'm on a phone that is on the way
hid in my hole and was ten years old
i was thirty thousand miles away

i'll be on time and i said one prayer
we dont wanna spend our cash

baby, and i'm built that way
i dont want it anyway
thank you for your love today
i dont need it anyway

yeah, on my face, nineteen ninety-four
on a hundred seventy dollars a day
i see no women, down a cool blonde town,
down the hall and its tucked away

i dont mind if you shoot at craps
but i dont want to take your trash
hey but i'm built that way
cant help it if i'm built that way

i held my plan, i'm gonna run it down
and the drums upon the fire all day
it dont seem, while much too much,
it only seems that i've much to say

i dont mind if i'm second class
but i dont want to take your train

honey leave your love away
i dont need it anyway
baby, leave your love today
i dont need it anyway

i cant help it if i'm built that way
i cant help it if i'm built that way

hey hey hey
dont need it anyway

Rev 20 Redlights wrote on Mar 14^th, 2021 at 5:20pm:

i think the proper name for track 5 is "Old Eliza Jane". It is the Stones' version of the many "Liza Jane" variations that originated in the early 19th century and which became standardized in Appalachia and New Orleans as "Lil Liza Jane" (young and a real sweetheart) and "Good Bye Eliza Jane" (when she's gotten jaded and just uses men for their money, until they inevitably smarten up and kick her to the curb).

"a song with the refrain "Oh lil Liza, lil Liza Jane" was sung by slaves
before the American Civil War. The name "Eliza Jane" was a standard character
in minstrel shows. A "Liza Jane" tune was first published in 1871. The book
"Negro Folk-Songs", published in 1918, documents a version associated with
a dancing game. Couples would dance in a circle, with an extra woman in the
middle. The extra woman would "steal" one of the men, the odd woman out then
going into the center, this process repeating."

here's a few more of the many variants:

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNNfqh-iJXs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdrwAn4UVDc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or5w8Zg8rdI


and some lyrics from a 1903 version that perhaps inspired jagger:

Look a’ here, Liza, listen to me
You ain’t the gal you promised to be
Didn’t you say you always would be true?

You went a-driving with Mister Brown
Now I’m the laughing stock of the town
Folks say that I was crazy to trust you

And well, you‘ll know, when I go
I was the fella with the “dough, dough, dough”
Good-bye, Eliza Jane

Look a’ here, Liza, take off those rings
Dig in that trunk, gal, hand me those things

Cough up that old gold watch and chain
Take that umbrella, cause it might rain

Rent time is here, babe, landlord today
I’ll be away; who’s going to pay?
Good-bye, Eliza Jane

But i think jagger takes it a step farther, in that he's 
more understanding in his attitude towards eliza. Yeah,
she's back on the streets again, but as somebody once said,
she just can't be chained to a life where nothing's gained,
and nothing's lost. I mean, she can't help it if she's built
that way.

In other words, she's quite familiar with how it feels.
To be on her own. With no direction home.


Old Eliza Jane
aka "back on the streets again"
aka "eliza upchink"

(approx lyrics)

well all, welcome to you
i'm gonna catch up fast
i won't mind you, honey
it wont be the last

if you late, want money
if you want it quick
here's five hundred dollars
hello Big Fat Lips

old eliza's gambling
old eliza jane
old eliza, back on time
back on the street again

you say you want money
if you hate your life
i won't bark, i won't bray
give me all your ride

she will spend my money
she will try it real quick
i'll be stiffening, i love jesus
i wanna stick it in her (censored)

i said old eliza's gambling
old eliza jane
old eliza's gambling
she's back on the street again

she wont send my jewelry
give me my first show
you don't miss, you don't get to
i dont blow your door

she won't feed her family
i don't need your sass
if i had a million bucks
i would be the last

i said, old eliza's gambling
old eliza jane
old eliza's gagging
she's out on the streets again

you said steal my money
you think it will last
you want five hundred dollars
you want more or less

you weren't meant to do it
you cant pay your rent
you cant pay for all i pray for
back on the street again

you said, old eliza's doing
what you done all day            
christian doll says, silly fool
she gonna find a way

you don't wear no bonnet
and will make the rain
all i ever do is to go tell you
when i'm back on the streets again

old eliza's gambling
old eliza jane
here's four hundred dollars
get out on the street and pray

Fiji Jim
aka Billy James
aka Ronnie Wood

So my theory is that Fiji Jim, Billy James, and Ronnie Wood are
one-and-the-same guy. A discreet and poetic way for mick to
write about Ronnie (who named his kid "jesse james" in 1976.
Also, James/Jim/Jimmy echoes Woods/Wood/Woody)

And it sounds like one of ronnie's girlfriends "anna"
(undoubtedly an "eliza jane" type) was just as wild.

Anyway, since my opinion is that ronnie wood is the most
underrated player in rock'n'roll history, i think its great
that mick has written a tribute to the joyous gypsy madman
who saved the Stones. 

(approx lyrics - this is my edit of an existing transcription
from another website)

C'mon on over, Fiji Jim, your full name is Billy James
Tell him to bring his electric guitar, the poor boy's going insane
Then we'll duck two bars away, snort an ounce of cocaine
Took myself about fifty-five darts*, six-pack more of champagne

Better watch out for Fiji Jim, come up and spend the day
Come on and bring your wah-wah pedal, then let's go on stage
Ronnie brought about fifty thousand kids, and slipped down in the rain
Fell to the beat to the 25th floor, the white girl's gone insane

Better watch out for smooth sly Anna. Pilchard** is out for a raid
Come up on feet to the 25th floor, the poor chick's gone insane
He bust two ribs, he bust two arms, his legs is just stumps in the rain
His brain is shred, his nose is bled, but his hands, they sure can play

Better watch out for cool sly Anna, come on Billy James
Come on bring your electric guitar because these boys are just so gonna play
Come on down Miss Suicide Anna, Fiji Jim's gonna reign
Tell him to bring his wah-wah pedal, the boys are going insane

*  slang for tobacco and/or marijuana cigarettes (also slang for syringes)
** Norman “Nobby” Pilcher (re-named "pilchard" in i am the walrus), notorious cop
who busted various Stones and Beatles. Pilcher was already an ex-cop by the time Ronnie
joined the Stones, so mick would be using his name here generically, to mean "top narc".

I'm digging this too while trail walking. sounds better every day!

they couldve titled this bootleg "more even faster numbers"

Cooking Up
aka Coking Up?

yeah, maybe its just joy the band is feeling, or maybe its
more than that. either way, they are for sure cooking.

the two ians, dueling pianos. neither keith nor ronnie breaking
stride. leaving absolutely no space for a melody. no space for mick.

so mick does something so weird and wonderful and counter-intuitive.
instead of hyping himself up to match the brilliance of his speedfreak band,
he goes the opposite way. Moron lyrics sung in a voice like he's dead drunk...

And by some strange alchemy it works to perfection...


(approx lyrics)

oo-ee oo-ee dangerous
say you love me and you want me
say you dont, say you win
say you love and youre more of a man

you say you love me bay-oh-bee
you say love me and hold me

say you mean it, say you cant
you say you love me and come on back
say you mean it and say you wont
you say you will and then you wont

say you really love me

you say you will and be my wife
you say you will and hold me
you say you love me and you cant come home
you say you rock and you roll me
yeah

you say baby
you say you rock and you roll me
you say you will and you cant go home
you say you will and you hold me

and love me, hold me, save me

you say you will and you cant go home
you say youre lonely and you fall in love
you say you will and you go on home
then you said, woo woo woo, lets go home

you say you want, you say you wont
you feel lonely and you feel my love
if youre winning when i win your love
then i say thats true truish love

hold me if you love me
and you cant really love me
you say you really really want me
you say you didnt, and you hold me

you say you will and you say you wont
do you or do you really want me

say you will, say you wont
you say you will but you cant go home

you say you want, you say you wont
you say you will and then you wont

you say you will and you say you wont
love me no matter what wont get
you get scared and you run away
you say you will and you run on home
you say you will and you say you wont

Great insights Rev! Thanks for the analysis

Prove it. Their New 7" Available Now


Yeah, I wish.

My point is that its not only the Stones' music that is incompatible
with today's market. Its also the unflinching realism of their lyrics.
Can you imagine if all these sex and drugs tracks were officially
released in this day and age? With the words made clear? The stones
would be tarred and feathered, including by half the puritans on the
iorr forum.

Much better strategy to keep it all undercover. Keep it all out of sight.
Sneak it out to those in the know. With almost nobody knowing the words.

Deep Love

1) this tune is one that seems to show heavy recent post-production
2) i started to write a rave review for charlie's war drums on this
one, but according to the musician listing on the top of this page,
its chuck leavell on drums! No fucking way. It also gives "percussion"
credits to steve jordan and charley drayton. So i still wish it was
watts, but its probably drayton on drums 3) if you listen to keith's
vocal take on this (from previous bootlegs), its a plaintive cry. But
now, by beefing up the drums and the guitars, and with mick's vocal
aggression, the underlying power of the original track is tripled. 

(approx lyrics)

Whoa yeah
You say you love me, baby. true deep love.
You say it's me baby, you're thinking of
So if you really want me, give me deep love
you say you're crazy for me. then prove it. with deep love.

ah yeah. oh yeah
you can fight it, bite it, eat it or diet
it dont mean a thing to me
you can feed it, heat it, you wont defeat it
you gotta let it happen naturally

ah yeah. oh yeah.
you got it pretty for me. deep love.
you better tell me quick. your real love.
you say you really want me. give me deep love.
you say youre crazy for me. give me deep love.
yeah

oh yeah
i might be lying. its cheap love.
might keep you waiting. for deep love.
oh yeah

you berate it, hate it, decided not to try it
it don't mean nothing to me
you can blame it, frame it, even try to tame it
its the pleasure for me naturally

oh yeah
you say you want it badly. how bad? deep love.
don't be lying. with cheap love.
just say you love me, baby. yeah. cheap love.
c'mon follow me. give it up.
i might have once wallowed. gimme deep love.

Dreams to Remember otis redding's original is a straight-forward remembrance of romance past, and the hope of re-kindling it. mick instead preaches about the importance of remembering sleep dreams. fyi, both keith and i were seeing the same shrink in NYC, anita stevens. circumstantial evidence, including this song, indicates that mick probably saw her as well at an earlier time. She always asked about any dreams you could remember. They gave her important insights into what made you tick. (approx lyrics) yes, you tell all your friends about it (when you remember a strange or hot dream) every time you wake up in the morning you just forget everything (most of the time) but i tell ya, i got dreams i can remember over and over again i got rough dreams. bad dreams. badder. badder. badder. ooh. ahh, sometimes i can't even think about it anymore there's someone knocking on my door and i say "what?" am i still asleep? or am i just dreaming? awake? or sleep walking? Mister Smith, listen: "you're in a state of sleepless nights and lonely days" and i said, "Yes" say what? "Yow!" Yeah I got dreams, dreams, dreams to remember I got rough dreams, bad dreams, good dreams to remember. Oh! Yes I got dreams, I can't forget em (here mick tells a dream he had about keith. ronnie is referenced too) Sometimes your best friend come to you when he's working on the job, he says "Can you lend me ten dollars?" I say, "for what?" "I said, shit, can you lend me ten dollars?" I say, "for what?" "I don't want to talk about it, just give me under the table a ten dollar bill" "I know what you guys are gonna buy. A fifth of whiskey." I got dreams to remember I got bold dreams, bad dreams, sad dreams to all remember ooh yeah. she got dreams, dreams to remember she got often bad ones, problems, sad dreams sugar, i better stop it now about that time, know what i'm talking about? "yeah, i know. yeah, i know" yes. that's alright.

Troubles a Coming

hopefully i'm hearing these words wrong.
very bleak. reminds me of mick's "too
far gone". not musically, just the theme.

musically this track is an upper, a classic
pump-along with charlie and bill. with the
best kind of guitar weaving, where its keith
and ronnie in a musical conversation, and not
just ronnie filling in spaces.

anyway, back to the doom and gloom...

there's a story, maybe apocryphal, of mick 
and keith in an airliner that goes into a
nosedive. there's of course screaming and
crying. but keith just takes out his guitar
and him and mick start laughing and
singing their way into their next lives.

or, as keith once put it, "what else can you
do but keep on rocking and hope for the best"

amen.

(approx lyrics)

well i can hear all the people talking
i can hear the planet warping
"Troubles a coming", always that one
if you take me a ways from here
then i wont be a thousand years

trouble is coming, youre gonna pay for having fun
Trouble is coming, always that one
get it together

well i can know what the Pope's delivering
i said, excuse me for living
i'm in a prison and love is the key

if you want, now get together
well i know i'm not thinking of how
troubles a coming, you can see the death of hope
trouble is coming, something wants to steal your hope

the trouble is bad
youre stripped of all hope
trouble is coming
youre cheated of hope

got to say, the death of hope
trouble is coming, seeing the death of hope

well i can hear all the people talking
i can hear the planet warping
"Troubles a coming", always that one

if you take me a ways from here
then i wont be a thousand years
trouble is coming, youre gonna pay for having fun
trouble is coming, always that one
ooh get it together

well i can know what the Pope delivers   
i said, excuse me for living
i'm in a prison and love is the key

if you want, now get together
i said i know i'm not thinking of how
trouble is coming, you can see the death of hope
trouble is coming, something wants to steal your hope


Sep 20, 2017 Vatican City —
Continuing his series of audience talks on Christian hope, Pope Francis gave
extensive advice on how to teach people, especially young people, to remain
full of hope. "No matter where God has planted you, hope. Always hope."

She's Doing Her Thing

marianne makes a nice picture sleeve, but i don't think this song is necessarily
about her. its probably about brian again, like "miss amanda jones"

(approx lyrics by frtylicks at iorr dot org)


Ladies and Gentlemen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

She's doing her thing, No!
She's doing her thing, Oh!
She's doing her thing,

You say she's a baby,
well thats just cause maybe,
I hear that she's crazy,
But, doing her thing,
But, doing her thing
But, doing her thing, Oh!

Am i who will save her,
all the years that you gave her,
she says thanks for the favor!

She's doing her thing, Yeah
She's doing her thing,
She's doing her thing, oh no! Oh yeah!

I know who's she blaming,
i hope you dont name names ,
She's doing her thing, what?
She's doing her thing, Oh!
She's doing her thing, Oh!

I think she's out playing,

Dog Shit

this was the first of these outtakes to blow me away, so i complained
about it being titled "dog shit". more like "god shit" i thought.

but it seems mick is playing with the old superstition that it is
good luck to step in dog shit, so now i'm cool with the title.

i enjoy it whenever mick speculates a little on the subject of luck.
i guess most people think that the science of probability explains
everything, but mick seems to have at least a little bit of a karmic
philosophy. as great as the stones are, and as hard and as smart as
they have pursued their career, mick and keith have never discounted
the element of luck that has seemed to "dog" them.

specifically here mick seems to be talking about how his "bad"
love affairs have often led him to a better place...

(approx lyrics, keithgotsoul at iorr dot org posted partial lyrics,
and i have tried to complete them)


Maybe ugly, maybe blue
Maybe someone I cant talk to
Maybe funny, maybe serious

So long, you've been good to me
So long, You’ve been bad to me
So long, i say that that’s good luck

You’ve been ugly
You’ve been cruel
You’ve been something I can’t refuse
Maybe six or seven lives but...

Bad luck, since you’re dogging me
Bad luck, its been bothering you
Bad luck, its so new that its...
Gassed up!
so long woman

Since you left, I ain’t been alive
Seven days been gone
and what you need is anyone

Bad luck, but i've been bad too
Good luck, its so elusive
Bad news, since i been with you
Good love, bad for every woman

Maybe happy, maybe ecstatic
You sent me on to your toys in the attic
i maybe love that part of you, but youre
bad luck!

i wasn’t bothering you

You made me horny, you made me mad
Made me something I never had
Call me soon when it’s soon enough, but it’s
bad luck

Bad luck, for somebody
Good luck, she’s going along with it
Bad luck, somebody will

Made me problems, so damn sad
almost the best thing I ever had
Made me loose and it made me low, and it’s

Bad luck, to get inside you
Good luck, come and see me
Good love, is supersonic
So long woman

Bad luck, bad luck,
she taught me to keep smiling yeah
Keep moving yeah, keep driving now

So long, somebody lost, so long, somebody wins
Bad luck, it starts with you
it was sure pain but I run for you

Built That Way ... not mick or keith's composing style, so i'm guessing that it started with a 1950's sorta new orleans vamp between charlie and the piano player. its a nice change to hear charlie playing without his usual restraint.

its billy preston, which i shouldve been able to guess. Also:

"20 nil" is a measurement of crushed stone "20 nil" is also a rugby score. so yeah, mick could alternatively be a surreal coach or announcer, with keith crushing it that way, on the playing field. whatever.

Sanctuary For my musical enjoyment i sequenced "Sanctuary" into "Tried To Talk Her Into It". It turns out the themes of the songs sequence as well, and both themes are very unusual. I don't have all the lyrics, but I have enough of them. In "sanctuary" mick plays a creepy-voiced version of himself, using standard techniques to maneuver a damsel towards his bedroom (partial lyrics) *sanctuary* baby, come right in and baby, come sit down can i get you something to drink? would you like to look around? *sanctuary* you are so beautiful, ah-huh *you got to love somebody* i don't want to stop sugar its alright *you got to love somebody* baby, i've been waiting i've been wanting to tell the world about it you don't want to stop i tell ya, change my world cry to me, baby, its alright *you got to love somebody* Tried to Talk Her Into It So then, in "tried to talk her into it", mick reveals that his seduction failed (partial lyrics) i tried to talk her into it one sweet night of love i tried to say to what extent my love for her was heaven sent i tried to talk her into it i tried to mess her into it i tried to drink her into it one sweet night of love i tried to talk her into it i gave her money, she refused what would you do? Woo! One sweet night of love And how does mick feel about his seduction failing? this is what's so unusual, he celebrates it with a hoedown! Like Diogenes searching the earth for an honest man, mick has at last found an honest woman, and fallen in love. Woo!

Eliza's brand of choice is "Raleigh Rye", marketed as "for men of brains"

Its A Lie

I remember an interviewer asking Mick why he never
seemed to write anything personal, and Mick responded
that on the contrary sometimes what he wrote seemed
embarassingly personal from his point of view.

I think there's a lot of songs that are obviously
reflective of a particular 17 years, when he was with
Jerry and the kids, but also away on his own pursuing
his career and, uh, other passions.

I've often complimented Mick on how expertly he, uh,
shades the truth. And how necessary it is to do so if
youre a big rockstar with powerful libido, who wants
and needs a family life too.

(approx lyrics)

if i'm looking on the quiet, baby
looking for it, forward and raving
loving up those (who) can ride and ride

if i'm looking for the fast times
if i'm looking for your virginal ride
loving my love and rolling right

now if you cry, yeah you can cry
you can moan, you can live, alright ?
if i'm loving you, baby, why should i, why ?

now you can lie, now you can lie
you can hold your head and pine
if i'm loving now, baby, why should i pine ?

if i'm oft in the river, woman
searching for a ride and sawn apart
goodbye love, and you know thats why i lied

yeah, now listen
now it ain't right, now it ain't right
you can shake your head and cry
if i'm loving you, woman, why should i, why ?

now its why, wife, its a crime ?
you can hold your head and cry
if i'm loving my woman, why should i lie ?

thats a lie, it ain't right, now it ain't right
you can look in on her by surprise
if i'm loving you, baby, why should i pine ?
shouldnt pine

now its a lie, its a lie
its a low-down dirty lie
if i'm loving my woman, why should i lie ?
yeah

Putty In Your Hands

written by John Patton and Eddie Snyder,
original recording by the Shirelles

Mick has strayed from (and improved the flow of)
the original lyrics in places, but nothing that changes
the overall meaning

this is a key point: mick cheated and lied to maintain
his sense of self. if he had been constant, he'd have
been putty in her hands.  Uh-huh.


(approx lyrics, as transcribed by frty licks/40 Licks,
and edited by me)


You say stop and I stop
You say jump and I jump
you say stay and I stay
Anything you want, you get it right away
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh

With one wave of your hand,
I'm your slave to command,
but I know youre so cruel,
everybody says, now dont you be no fool,
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh
just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh

You can build me until I'm ten feet tall
Or bring me down like a rubber ball
you can deflate me, inflame me,
but dont you replay me,
without your love, i'm nothing at all

You say stop and I stop
you say pop and I pop
You say jump and I jump
Anything you want, you got it all wrong,
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh, uh-huh
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh,

You can build me and i'm 10 feet tall,
knock me down with a 10 foot pole,
you can use me, defuse me,
but dont you refuse me,
without your love, i'm nothing, nothing at all

They say that youre so cruel
you treat me so cool,
you made me so sad,
anything you want, but dont you treat me bad,
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh
Just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh

Covered In Bruises

this song is a drunken blast, the band is
just tearing it up. The first five listens,
about all i heard was chaos, but now each
instrument is clear for me. and rocking.

and its funny as hell when mick and ronnie
are singing different lyrics at the same
time, but it works. it paints a blur of
emotions, like when youve gotten yourself
in way too far way too fast

(approx lyrics, very approx)

baby i dont want your love
baby i dont want your loving love

its a fine way to find
that youve been a fool
yeah i'm freezing fighting for your love
seeking trying to find it

baby, i want/don't want your love
baby, i want/don't want your love

yeah, baby, i know, a quick set is fine
yeah i know, yeah i'm sore
baby, just one more day, because i'm about to go

yeah-ay, the two of you/you don't go blind
just far far far far eyes
then four more sore eyes/
cake cake cake take take it

baby, i don't want your love
i do i do i do i do i don't
baby, i want/dont want your love
baby, i want/dont want your love

yeah she's covered in bruises
yeah, you got me/covered in bruises
yes, she's covered in booze
she's covered in bruises

you can take me for a deep dive/
covered stand up stand up stand up
yeah, stand up covered stand up   
she got me covered in booze

baby, i don't want your love

Tell Her How It Is

People talk about the fog of war, wherein the truth
is all but invisible. But remember this is also the
situation within the fog of love.

And people talk about war heroes. but they should also
be building statues to love heroes. and not just the
ones that lived two or three thousand years ago.

(on this track keith's monster guitar gives a
lesson in leadership. i was going to compliment
taylor on how well his wah-wah meshed with keith,
but apparently its stephen stills)

(approx lyrics)

shall i tell you how it is ?
should i tell you how i lie ?
shall i tell it like it is ?
oh my my

can i tempt you with a lie ?
do you wanna hear a lie ?
do you wanna hear it ?
talk, baby

shall i tell it like it is ?
shall i tell you how i lie ?
everybody gonna feel it
everybody wondering how

hey
i'm talking about a bad thing
dont go false now
fuck them all, baby

mmm
and i fell by now
not talking about it
lonely, fuck that

shall i talk about my lil baby ?
shall i talk about it to you now ?
can you give it to me, hon ?
can you give it to me now ?

do you wanna hear the truth, girl ?
or do you wanna hear a lie ?
do you wanna hear the truth ?

ah-oh... yeah... nah...

now a good rain will fall upon a loving house

oh yeah, oh yeah now now now now now now
call up the rain, fall down falling on down down down
oh yeah oh yeah down now fall down now now now now

coming down, falling down

Dream About

on the musician list on the previous page, it says this one is all-mick. that he even
did the beat using a charlie watts sample.

i don't believe it. while i dont doubt that an all-mick demo exists, i dont think this is it.
i think this is the stones. but i cant know that for certain.

regarding the lyrics, it feels so damn good when mick expresses his love for the band
and the fans. he cant afford these kind of sentiments very often. everybody counts on
him to be the strong one. thats his lot in life. bit of a curse for him i think, but quite
a blessing for us.


Rev 20 Redlights wrote on Apr 22^nd, 2021 at 4:01am:

The track that came closest to not making my compilation was "dream about", because of its conventional song structure and finished lyrics. Mick obviously brought this one into the studio completely written. But it made the cut because of the intimate vocal, the sorta-Sade beat, the misty instrumental washes, and frankly, because it brought a tear to my eye... Lighten up a little bit, baby And put a smile upon your face Lighten up a little bit, baby Put on some powder and some paint Lighten up a little bit, babe Put on some silk, put on some lace C'mon, sugar Let's see your broken smile Broad as the River Nile C'mon now, babe Put on some powder and some paint When all's said and done We had the biggest fun Accept my fond regrets Let's stay the best of friends And goodbye to the gilded youth And so long to the velvet rooms and the pain that is burning right in my heart And goodbye to the gilded youth and so long, if you need the proof Feel the wounds that you gouged right into my heart Don't you worry about a thing now, babe Just because the train is pulling out Wipe away those tears now Put some lipstick on your mouth No star-eyed view, I know your heart is bruised but you can't put the clock right back to the start

Cant Find Love

the sweetest groove, based on reggae, but the lyrics
are (purposefully) a bit disconcerting.

(approx lyrics)

you cant find love
and you cant see me
you cant find no woman
on the corner of the street

and you cant find nobody
you cant get no love
you aint got no woman
which youre looking for

you cant find love
you cant see me
you cant find nobody
walking on the street

and you cant find love
and you dont see me
and you cant find nobody
and are all i say

oo-hoo-hoo

and if youre looking for money
dont look into the street
dont ever get caught up
call out your need

you cant find no loving
every morning, plead
you cant find nobody
call out your need

yeah, and you cant find love
and you dont see me
you sow your infection
and you cant be vain

you cant find nobody
before your back door
got no real instruction
it goes so far

you cant find love
cant find no heat
you cant find no loving
youre staring at your feet

oo-hoo-hoo

cant find nobody
cant find no teat
cant find no loving
on the corner of the street

if youre looking for money
dont look too far
if youre looking for sensation
just touch the bottom line

walk walk walk away from me
away away away from me
away away away from me
away away away far

oo-hoo-hoo why ?
oo-hoo-hoo

you cant find nobody
but youre coming up to me
you dont need no love
youre so about to change

you gotta wake up wake up wake up

baby cmon baby
cmon baby cmon baby love
higher
higher

oo-hoo-hoo

(band discusses the arrangement while playing)

cant find love
you cant see me
you cant get no money
assume all is change

if youre looking for a dollar
heres a dirty dime
if youre looking for loving
heres to good times

you cant find love
you cant see me
you cant find affection
on the corner of the street

oo-hoo-hoo

Just listened to Hands Off,
Great stuff

Never Make You Cry

another lilting bittersweet groove, heavily influenced
by reggae. a musical form unique to the rolling stones.
and manna from heaven, as far as i'm concerned.

(approx lyrics)

aint there no way out ?
let us say/c'est la vie
out the same way, lie
and they say they didnt love
and you dont wonder why
to be defeated in love
never really needed you
never made you cry

i tell you, baby
its the same way, lie

spent their whole life
and they never really loved
no i never had my ride
but they never really loved
never really needed
never made you cry
yeah

and they dont pretend to feel it
he took her on a ride
and he never really loved
he never really needed
he never made you cry
never meant to cry

did you wonder why ?
did he ever really love ?
never did
and i dont know why

and the story
that she told her ride
she never really loved me
as the days went by
and she never really took him
to go for a ride
she never really loved

and he never made you cry
never meant to cry

and i wanted to die
never really knowing
never really needing
never would arrive

Best thread in a While!  Thank you!

Have to say the song I keep going back to from this collection is 'Still In Love With You'. No doubt there's some overdubs added post-1983 but it really turned out to be a lot better than what anyone could have foreseen in the various outtakes that have been circulating over the last few decades. Absolutely gorgeous track, and a hook to die for.

finally got around to really listening, picked tracks to add to the albums the sessions correspond with. some really great stuff.
About twenty years ago I was introduced bootlegs via Disneyland and in particular RIP Cardinal Fang.
It's amazing that so much of what I desired then I have and so much became official releases too...
feeling really grateful today. Been listening to a ton of Stones and Keith book Life on audio.
It's good to be here...
hope anyone and all reading this are well...

Hands Off

(can you imagine the field day the woke mob would
have had with this one ?)

its long been my contention that Mick was attracted
to strong damaged woman who did their best to cut
him down to size. we all have our kinks. for him
it was the challenge that provided the erotic charge
and thrill-ride of emotions.

in this song, Mick admits it.


(approx lyrics)

everything about you is so doggone mean
i'm, baby, on the home team
every day, baby, is a rough fight
i'm your baby and youre mine

yeah, the attitude
yeah, you got the attitude
yeah, and you pay the price
ahhh, and all the time

i said, its all right, anything you tell me to
said, its all right, anything you tell me to

when i went and put you in a dog fight
everyth‌ing about you is to make me down
everything about you is so doggone mean
but i just cant keep my hands off of you

everything about you its a-rocking fine
and, baby, nearly all the time
and, baby, when you ramble too
yeah, baby, and the attitude
yeah, the attitude

yeah, gonna make you ride
yeah, and a-here we go...

and its all right, anything you tell me to
i said, its all right, anything you tell me to

everything about you is a log on fire
i cant make it with you all the time

OK, you know the drill...

When you meet him, be courteous. Say nothing in
bad taste. Remember all your lessons in politesse.
And please, above all else...


Keep It Cool

(approx lyrics)

keep it cool cool cool
well ah baby ah
you you you
smooth, honey, oh so smooth
keep yourself smooth
keep it cool

i was down in the boneyard of a city
but looking for a holiday
just then a bar belle said
"you might remember you meeting me"
i recognize a face, a mess, i never met before
why's her abandoned-baby look knocking on my door ?

keep it cool, i said man, keep it cool

i was down on the floor
down with the bartender kneeling
she didnt have no trouble
never had none
turning two lovers on
there's nothing wrong with fucking on the door sill
"your brother's just the same, its just a shame,
like everybody else"

i said, baby, keep it smooth
life is short, keep it smooth
keep it smooth

hey, i wont lie, wont lie oh
oh i, wont lie
i'll never do it, with you
yeah, one more time
wont lie, wont lie

keep it smooth

i was down round
about a mile above st martin's Maho landing
i was out there every day
when a woman stepped out from behind me
and when i turned
"by the way, well you can just imagine being
sitting down here - its a rolling stone !"
yeah, i'm that man
but i really had to shut her down and say, hey !

keep it cool
ah yeah, baby, keep it cool
i'm gonna move
i'm gonna move move
ah yeah, move

yeah i'm there, i'm all out about town
been just passing all the fuchsias strewn
trying to catch a buzz, trying to ball with you
i said, baby i dont mind, we can pair it up
and sail on through
i said, but baby, i got one thing to say to you...

keep it cool, keep it cool
gotta be smooth
keep it smooth, baby
hey, keep it cool

So thats it. With more intense listening, my
original 28 selections got whittled down to 24.

For me the whole thing has been a peak stones
experience.

Just like the good old days, this music was
different enough that it took me a while to be
fully shocked by how brilliant it is.

Even then, I figured there wouldnt be much, in terms
of lyrics, in the buried vocals. But slowly i discovered
a shocking amount of treasure there too.

do i still think that these "finished outtakes" were
intentionally released by mick and keith ? yes,
that seems obvious to me

do i have beyond-a-reasonable-doubt smoking-gun
proof of that ? nope

what i do have is (and a short time ago this was beyond
my wildest imaginings) two NEW stones albums, and they
are two of the best albums i have ever heard.

So now, back to listening purely for pleasure...

Great bit of reading. Thanks!

Thank you very much to Rev..

Yet, call me old-fashioned, but 'Dog Shit' vocally / lyrically sounds like a collection of thoughts about old girlfriends, even the desire to keep in touch with them kinetically/emotionally/teasingly.

There may be is too much wax in my ears, but 'Dog Shit' starts oddly(Marianne-ly?) with "Maybe ugly, man in blue" (a bobby)
Afterwards it sounds like Jogger is singing: "Bad luck, 'Ive just been bothering you" (rather than It's just been bothering you"; "You saved me me under the toys in the attic. I maybe love that part of you, but you're... bad love (luck?)', plus "I'm sill admirin' ya, Good stuff. It’s been a long ..baby. Sill admiri’ her....
plus a few other lines I'd query which you typed.
Most intetestngly, perhaps, or just in haste - you heard 'So long woman" instead of "So long Mama".


Happy days.

(Gazza, Waitering, glad you enjoyed it)

Typical for these times, different people will interpret today's Daily Mail story
in vastly different ways...

About half will think it is mostly about Jagger blatantly breaking the covid rules.

The other half will take away the "news" that the mythical official new album is
finally on its way.

But then there's me. I see it as unoffical confirmation that Love Volumes 1 & 2
were intentionally released by the Stones, and that more such great new stuff
is on the horizon. More dogshit !

So this is the real headline as far as my biased mind is concerned:


The Rolling Stones are planning to release another
album of remastered "basement" tracks
'   
Mick is working on the material with band-mates Ronnie Wood, 74,
and Charlie Watts, 80, in the UK, while Keith Richards, 77, contributes
from his home in the US


Here's the link. Interpret as you will...

this is really great! Thanks Rev

I still love playing these tunes. I do wonder now though if this was the 3 volume set and there aren't 2 more waiting to drop.

Since the new Tattoo You 40th anniversary edition will have 5LPs or 4CDs I hope some or many of these will be there

Supposedly there'll be an announcement about the Tattoo You reissue very very soon, so it'll be interesting to see if any of these songs are amongst the 9 or so additional tracks that Woody mentioned in a recent interview

I'll guess that a LOT of the tracks will be the same. Except ruined.

The pattern has been set with "scarlet". The thrilling "finished outtake" version is
way way superior to the "goats head deluxe" one that was needlessly cluttered up
by Jimmy Page (nothing against Jimmy, in this instance he just didnt add anything,
in fact he detracted. you can't win em all. the only thing Page's contribution provided
was publicity)

The only reason i left "scarlet" off the "love volumes" is that "goats head" got
there first and i wanted the volumes to be 100% fresh. but the scarlet "outtake"
rules in every way

so i can already hear me bitching "look what they done to my songs, ma"

which makes no sense. i got the real thing already so, i mean, so what if the world thinks
what i got are the fakes, and that the over-produced crap they got on "tattoo deluxe" is real.

real is fake, and fake is real, and thats just the way of the world in 2021

Bad guess, revvy. At least going by "living in the Heart of Love". I'm still keeping
it in my "been there done that" category, but at least the guts of the "outtake"
have been preserved and the sound quality improved

The keys for me will be "Fiji Jim" and "Trouble's a-coming", two of the best and
most important tracks on the "outtakes". Preserve the guts and improve the sound,
so i can plug em into my "love volumes"

So,when  will we get the next volumes? 
Just honing and praying

I know it was reported that there were 3 volumes planned/in existence, but who really knows.
It was never really put out there how these first 50 tracks (volume 1) were even "leaked/released".

I hope there's more down the road...so much better than these reissues with the add-ons. I hope we dont have to wait for UNDERCOVER / SW / VL/ B2B reissued/anniversary releases.
