THERE'S A TEAR IN MY BEER, HANK JR AND DADDY HANK SR.

Brilliant video for that, too. Although, like that Natalie/Nat King Cole stuff, the original recordings werent 'unfinished'.

As for the original question about taking old unfinished material and putting new lyrics to it, the Stones themselves have done this before. Apart from some of the stuff on Tattoo You, they did it with songs like 'Too Tough' (the music for which bears a striking resemblance to the 'Cellophane Trousers' instrumental cut for Black and Blue 8 years earlier) although the whole song was re-done.

Reply #32 - Jun 30^th, 2010 at 1:14pm I like it better and better every listen. Maybe time to go through the entire unreleased catalog for future "refinished" releases like this?

I can't put a number on it quite yet....
Apart from the actual outtakes (Good Time Women, Ain't Signifying etc...), the new vocals are pretty glaring. Specifically on Following the River, ouch, it hurts to listen, Jagger is so, so 2010. His new vocals ruin Pass the Wine for me and that's a shame because the music is great. The others, So Divine, Dancing in the Light, sound like outtakes. There is a reason why these songs didn't make it on the lp or subsequent lps.....as in most outtakes, there is always something missing, whether its a bridge or it might have a weak bridge...whatever - there is always something incomplete.
But PSM is outstanding, just outstanding and frankly, I find myself just listening to that one song. Jagger just couldn't muster the same passion on the others.
In fact, I would have been happy if PSM had been the only released outtake with new vocals - to promote the reissue.

I really dig it. It's great that they finally opened the vaults. And I appreciate the fact that they kicked the old stuff around for a bit. It's also fun to hear that they made the right decisions at the time when you listen to the alt takes. Great addition to the catalogue.
