Thanks, dbca. Very interesting. But why would the group (or whoever) want to wipe McLagan's parts in the first place? Any theories?

Or is it the Axl Rose syndroma : "You piss me off? I'll kick you out of the studio and I'll get a guy to play over your parts!"

Well some people break up with their old lady and THEN marry them.
More seriously Ian M. was flown in at the very last minute for the 78 tour. He basically took a flight from London to Florida, "rehearsed", played the 1st show then went to bed. He hadn't slept in 48 hrs...
Hardly a way to treat a 6th member, but a normal way to treat a stooge...

Pretty sure Tim Hinkley means EMOTIONAL RESCUE, not SOME GIRLS. Mick had a beard during the ER sessions which did indeed start in the Fall of '78. Mac is credited on SOME GIRLS, but not on EMOTIONAL RESCUE and according to Mac's book that was the album he started work on and was then replaced. I would suspect that Nicky Hopkins (who is credited) replaced Tim's work. As for the shabby treatment he received, its interesting he doesn't think he should have had to pay for all of the coke he snorted.

"Great article with Kimsey. It's amazing the Stones have ever done anything. And they are obviously oafs when it comes to getting things done"
Funny I got the opposite impression out of the article. I got the feeling they were, in this studio, hit by some stroke of genius (for the very last time?), minus the "dump it, it's shit" judgement by Keith on "Start Me Up" of course.
I think they were inspired AND dedicated. Remember, one day during the sessions C.W. did not leave his drum stool (except for a pee) for 18 hours in a row.
And now more Kimsey :

I just yesterday saw several photos of Jagger with the beard in action; in the studio playing guitar, and singing at the mike with full beard - and he actually looks good!
Jagger manages to pull off every look he wants. Except Ned Kelley.

Django - there is a boot called "Tattoo Too". I have had it for ages. Yesterday I bit the bullet and decided to take on the mammoth task of organizing my boots. So I found myself revisiting many old discs. And it was he first time actually folded out the artwork of that disc. It has a big foldout; almost a poster with many many photos. That is where that shot of Jagger comes from that was recently in some thread; the one where he looks like Jesse Ed Davis. There are many great shots from the sessions that have to be strictly ER and TY.
