Apologies in advance.  We're due for one of these.  With the colder weather, we all need a healthy dose of Goat's Head Soup and songs of its era.


When did I mislead ya?

Love the ad libbing at the end.

It DID appear on "Rarities" but then again that's nothing to brag about.  It's better than most of IORR for sure, but would it have fit with the more playful nature of the album?

A lot of fans on these boards seem to rave about it, for some reason, but I've always thought it's status was more to do with it being hard to find than its actual musical worth.

I dont think its any great shakes. It was put out as a b-side which was about right. And it was an old recording at that. Its actually a GHS leftover (it was recorded in Jamaica) and not an IORR one.

I loved "Lonely Nights" as the B-side of the 45 and collected two copies, which I still have.  I'm glad you can get it on a legit CD.  It deserves an airy Mickboy remix.

But lately, I notice how it's a knock-off of Gram Parsons' Everly Bros. cover, "Sleepless Nights."  Written by the couple who brought you "Love Hurts."

'Made in the Shade' was a sampler/best of compilation from their first 4 albums on Rolling Stone Records.

Wasnt really the done thing to pad out a compilation LP back then- especially when youre limited minutes wise because of the vinyl format - with unreleased or rare material.

I've always kinda liked the simple little song...

I figured it was a GHS leftover when I first heard it. There was a mood the song had that fit GHS more compared to IORR, which was more soulful and funky. I really like Through the Lonely Nights myself for the mood it creates and not the actual song in relation to structure and lyrics.

Sucking In the 70's was an exception, Brendan.

In general the compilations, especially those issued in the Rolling Stones Records era have never offered anything 'fresh'.

Made In the Shade, Time Waits for No One, Rewind, Jump Back - nothing new or rare.

Throwing unreleased or new songs onto compilations (a la '40 Licks') is a marketing trick which only really took off in the CD era, especially from the '90's on.

Yep..the Dylan Greatest Hits Vol 2 (or 'More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits' as my original vinyl version is called) was unusual for its time. A double LP compilation from 1971 with 2 brand newly recorded songs and 3 'new' re-recordings of (at the time) unreleased Basement Tapes songs. People actually complained about that! (ie, 'how can it be a greatest hits' album with 5 new songs?'. Now its 'why should I buy a greatest hits album when there's no new songs?'). Neil Young's 'Decade' (released in 1977 with, I think, 5 unreleased songs) was another example.

'Time Waits for No One' was a 1979 UK compilation on Rolling Stones Records which covered the albums from Sticky Fingers through Love You Live. It wasn't reissued after the band moved to CBS in the mid 80's and has never been issued on CD.



Track listing was :

Side 1 : Time Waits For No One - Bitch - All Down The Line - Dancing With Mr D - Angie  

Side 2 : Star Star - If You Can't rock Me/Get Off Of My Cloud (live) - Hand Of Fate - Crazy Mama - Fool To Cry

So it repeated two songs from 'Made In the Shade' ('Bitch' and 'Angie') and 3 of the songs on it (TWFNO, Fool to Cry and Crazy Mama) were used again on the US compilation 'Sucking In the 70's' two years later - and in edited form at that!

'Sucking' is really the proper successor to 'Made in the shade' though as all the songs date from 'Black and Blue' onwards, picking up where the earlier album left off.

'Rewind' then came out in 1984 to mark the end of the band's distribution deal with Warner/EMI as they had recently signed a new deal with CBS. It was basically a greatest hits compilation, unlike the other compilations. There were different track listings on the UK and US versions and only the US version (with 2 extra songs) was ever re-released at a later date as a CD.

I don't think was meant to be a 'classic' - it sounds like something they did on a slow night in the studio, but those are some of my favorites because they are a mood, a vibe..of its time.
And i love when the song changes directions.....and it just grooves along.
'Everytime i see ya..'

No Throwaway, I was a bit rude with you. Mine are the apoligies. I love this song.
Expecialliy with the long winter that its waiting us all.
Thanks for this thread. I have learn something that I didnt knew before.
As that one about Gram Parson for instance.
Good night. Go nanna. Nity nighty

Love that break where the solo comes in.....it takes the song in a competetly different direction...
But what does this mean:
'making you're lonely pay for me..'
and:
'and your time ain't so hard to sell....' [/quote]
Well, we may try to see..
Through the lonely nights
I think of you  -a love
through the lonely hours
I dream of you
I dont know why I do it but I do
Why do you take it what's wrong with you?
Ev'ry time I see ya
...
With the lonely weekends I'm far away
Why you're coming on, like you're supposed to do?
Oh but you know me so well
And your time aint so hard to sell  - as a toy treaten
In your cherry dresses and your shiny shoes
In a doorway on some neon walk
Making the lonely pay for me   -let alone
Why dont we set each other free
When did I mislead ya
when did I mistreat ya
When did I deceice ya

Seem the love of a teenage about a girl more aged.
A frustated love- Seem the loves of Mick have got.
To him seems always be betrayed and cheated. The girls are always to blame.
A warning: the women cheat you-always-

what about "Save Me"?
