Isn`t this song (

so great? Would be a hit today.

I like this song.I think they should have put this song on the rarities 1971-2003 cd.It was the b-side to the She Was Hot single.

Of'course they should had put it on "Rarities" it must have been a mistake, they just forgott about it, but where can we find it, apart from the backside of my "She was Hot" singel and picture shaped singel ?

I always loved that track. I heard it 20 times a day,
when I got my first outtake CD "Paris Outtakes" in the
beginning of the 90s. The guitars and the piano...

WONDERFUL SONG!!!!

Isn't this the unedited version, as opposed to the official B side version?

The official version is shorter and has David Sanborn on sax, not
as good as the outtake version.

I prefer the outtake version. Then again, I prefer the extended version of She Was Hot too.

Of course it wouldn´t be a hit today. Nothing special, really...two chords over and over again...but since it´s rare it´s a gem? But I really like it, make no misstake

If I may ask - where does one find this extended version of 'She Was Hot'? I love the track (quite a fan of the 'Undercover' album in general), and would love to hear it!

Is it simply a remix, extending the song with beats..etc.., or is it an outtake performed by the band?

It's an outtake performed by the band (perhaps even the track from which the final version was edited (no fade-out)). You'll find it on bootleg. Maye in the "Hot Stuff" section?

The "Search" button helps a lot! :-)

Sounds a bit like Waiting On A Friend to me.

The "She was hot" single is the only official release with this track on it sadly

Have always loved this track. Simply gorgeous.

To me, it's really amazing how Charlie is able to just push and pull the band around. How he can crank it up at will, intensifying everything with his rhythm, and then reel them all back in too. Also a great Bill track, super restrained but powerful. Definitely should have been included on Rarities.

thanks for the info .so this was a undercover outtake?

Emotional Rescue.

Didn't I read that the master tapes of the B-side are missing? At least that would be an explanation for that omission from the Rarities set.

Gazza hinted at such a thing. I hope that is not the case, as I'm sure a lot of us do.

All of the digital files and bootleg versions I have heard of the released b-side version were obviously taken from vinyl with the obligatory pops & clicks. As I recall, the b-side version was included in the "Woodstock Rehearsals" set and called "Bones Thang" or something like that. The longer, unedited version can be found on a number of "Emotional Rescue" outtakes albums, such as "Accidents Will Happen".

I always liked the song, it couldn't have hurt "Undercover" to have included it!

Emotional Rescue.

Its originally from the early '79 sessions in Nassau for 'Emotional Rescue' but the released version was finished in summer 1983 for 'Undercover'. The sax part is definitely different on the two versions (its Bobby Keys on the first one).

Ian McPherson's excellent timeisonourside.com site lists the sax player on the released version as Al Perkins, which is a bit strange as Perkins is pretty much primarily a guitarist (mostly a steel guitarist). Not sure what the source of that info is, but I'd be pretty sure its David Sanborn, who was certainly present on the final sessions for 'Undercover' and who plays on the album (on 'Pretty Beat Up'). Certainly sounds like his style of playing.

And yep, apparently the master tape couldnt be located, hence its non-inclusion on 'Rarities'.

thanks Gazza.

i'm not sure why a master tape would be required to put it on an album. master tapes aren't generally used for alot of what goes out there in the marketplace...

decent song...nothing to get excited about, though....and, i like the bootleg versions that circulate better than the officially-released one...

I agree. How bad could the quality of a 1st generation recording be, and who could tell the difference anyway?

And in the context of the haphazard and sloppy way in which that entire Rarities project was executed, its a bit odd that in this case they were so over-zealous about quality control.

i'll bet the phine pholks at UMG will stop at nothing and use every man jack at their disposal to undercover the missing master and present in a rarities re-issue...and maybe even pencil-in a artist's rendition of the previously air-brushed-out Wyman on the cover...

Excellent song.

I like it, but I prefer the original (out)take to the overdubbed/remixed released version!

It's a good song. I don't really have a lot of Stones collectibles but I have the tongue shaped picture disc single of She Was Hot/Think I'm Going Mad.

It was also recorded in November 1982 with Keith on lead vocals. Runs for about 15 minutes.
