Okay ... I've heard all the bonus tracks—fairly crappy .wav files, but enough to get the idea.

For now, first impressions: Mick did a *lot* of overdubbing, far more than we were led to believe. The only untouched tracks, to my ears, were the LIB-era "Loving Cup," "Soul Survivor," "Good Time Women," and "Title 5." "Loving Cup" we've all heard before ... "Soul Survivor" is what you'd expect: a sort of aimless guide vocal from Keith with the underlying track we all know. "Title 5" is a fuzzed-out riff set to Charlie drumming like "19th Nervous Breakdown." Meh.

"I Ain't Signifying" got, at the very least, new harp from Mick. Good stuff.

"Pass the Wine" is probably the most successful track of the bunch. Reminded me—a bit—of "High Head Blues" by the Black Crowes. Or maybe "Spill the Wine."

Many of you heard "Plundered My Soul" on French radio today. Weird thing: I do *not* hear the Taylor overdub on the first prechorus, as heard on the Amazon.uk sample.

"Dancing in the Light" starts out promisingly. Mick gives it a twangy vibe. By the end, though, he does a barky ad-lib thing, reminiscent of the end of "Put Me in the Trash." Not very convincing.

"So Divine (Aladdin Story)" has brand new lyrics/vocal track. This one didn't bother me, but didn't quite rock my world, either.

"Following the River," a gospel, "Shine a Light"-type thing, has a great piano track from Nicky Hopkins, who recycles a bit of "Jealous Guy." The vocal track, alas, is mannered Mick. The melody kind of—emphasis on kind of—reminded of "Don't Call Me Up." Mick does that faux-plaintive ad-lib thing over the end of the track. He really pushes his voices to places it does not want to go anymore. Disappointing.

I'm pretty sure I'll warm up to a lot of this. I like "Streets of Love," after all. But many of you, I'm sure, will not.

Just sayin'.

Consumer Reports may put the don't buy label on this product.

Thanks Mel, we need the tapes now Wink

Plundered is now on YouTube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS2jNueeoeg

Sorry for the gap (might help not having it pulled...)

Doesn't go anywhere does it, Mick's singing is oh so mannered and there seems to be some shrieking in the background, was that on the original tape or an overdub too ?

Sounds like a Black Crows outtake, which is not saying much is it ? Seriously if they had put it on ABB we probably wouldn't have known any better.

I bet you didn't know half of the shit you could've written off... we wrote off all our medical expenses, we went over $7k, and that means you can deduct it from a family of 4... sorry to hijack the thread... maybe you got everything, but most people get screwed b/c they don't know these things... this includes all medicines, equipment, tests and deductibles ect...

Plundered sounds a little like the copy cat attempts bands make to sound like the Stones. Maybe it's what happens when you try to recreate a sound from 30 or 40 years ago. It also hints that what a lot of these newer bands do is steal from the outtakes and just change a few chords here and there and think that people won't notice. At the same time, there are sounds and a vibe there that I haven't heard since Undercover. Yes I mean Undercover. I don't mean the style, just a feel and a core sound.
