The first take of this recording from November 1973, in Munich, Germany, suggests the song was at first intended for the It's Only Rock 'n' Roll album, the song bearing the working title of "Broken Head Blues." Believe it or not, Ronnie did show up for this -- before he even left the Faces. But the proposed 1974 version is all instrumental.
The next take of this recording, from October 1977, now given its present title, suggested the song was then planned for release on Some Girls.
The genesis of "Black Limousine":
Take 1 recorded November 13-24, 1973 in Munich, Germany (under possible working title of "Broken Head Blues" )
Take 2 recorded October-December, 1977 in Paris, France (under present title; song has rough-draft lyrics and weird intro)
Takes 3-4 recorded January-March, 1978 in Paris, France (revised intro, still early lyrics on take 3; new lyrics on take 4)
Takes 5-6 recorded June-August 1979 in Paris, France (take 5 is a cut version of take 3; Tattoo You version is from take 6)

Didn’t Mick Taylor have a solo song named Broken Hands on his first solo albums that sounds a little like Hand of Fate

Not a standard 12 bar blues as it has 13 or 14 bars.
