This is what's out there, according to my own records. Taken from notes I made a couple of years ago and with some recent corrections.
Not suggesting its perfect or definitive, but it should give you all a good idea. The sources I've relied on for sessiongraphies are mostly Nico Zentgraf's 'The Complete Works' (
www.nzentgraf.de) and Felix Aeppli's 'Ultimate Guide' -

Muck Spreading Dub 3:16 Paris Results riff-driven instrumental

Start Me Up 3:41 2 Girls, Pills and Powders Close to the finished version (this may even have been used as a backing track), only a bit less polished. All rhythm guitars at this stage, though – there's no lead gtr. Verses still have rough lyrics, but the chrous and backing vocals are more developed
Summer Romance 5:21 1 The Emotional Rescue Sessions Different intro to released version. Early lyrics. Jagger's vocals off-mike.
Summer Romance 4:35 2 The Emotional Rescue Sessions Count-in, and different intro to released version. Early lyrics. More like V1 than later takes so I think this is a Some Girls outtake

No Spare Parts 6:11 Girls, Pills and Powders Country song with prominent electric piano. Mick sings in his faux-Southern accent. Could have been releasable with a bit of work on the lyrics and a more polished vocal.
Not The Way To Go #1 7:04 1 **not circulated on bootleg LP/CD ** Instrumental listed by Zentgraf but not by Aeppli. Exists but not on a bootleg CD. Two later takes (with guide vocals) were cut at RCA Studios, Hollywood, August 1978 so it's possible that this song may come from that session.
Petrol 3:47 Place Pigalle Vol. 4 Mick vocal demo with Stu on piano. Also known as 'Petrol Gang'

Unverified songs (not in circulation)
Angeline
We Are Ripped On Down (this may be an early 'When the whip comes down', in which case it would date from the 1st Paris session in 1977)
There are also a few songs I'm not sure about, but which have appeared on bootlegs :
I cant Help It 3:24 Girls, Pills and Powders fast paced instrumental
feel no pain no more 4:42 Girls, Pills and Powders Medium paced instrumental, with country/blue style lead and a lot of piano
Los Trios Guitareros 3;10 Girls, Pills and Powders instrumental. Same as track listed above?
follow me 1:31 Girls, Pills and Powders funky licked instrumental. No audible bass, charlie on what sounds like brushes
Additionally, there's a bit of confusion between two songs 'Golden Caddy' and 'Brown Leaves' which may or may not be the same song in different stages of development
V1 Girls, Pills and Powders fades in. slow. Lots of guitar effects 3:05
V2 Girls, Pills and Powders Semi-false start. Similar to above 1:48
V3 place pigalle 5/6 fastest version 2:49. close to V4 and Dancing girls
V4 Girls, Pills and Powders faster than 1/2. closer to dancing girls 6:13
V5 All Mixed Up sloW version more in common with versions 1 & 2
V6 Chainsaw
the tracks listed as 'Brown Leaves' are versions 3 & 4. The rest may be 'Golden Caddy'
Whoever may be bold enough to fool themselves and claim that they were not completely impressed with this personal log and record by you of those recording sessions is lying.
Excellent work - (I am sure you would even make Mr. Wyman envious at times).
