Hey...

Someone asked if there are any "Bigger Bang" album outtakes circulating, which got me thinking: 'Which Stones album sessions have outtakes that have been botted-or circulate among collectors".

While extensive track and bootleg lists appear elsewhere in print and online, here is a quick "yes-no" check-list, based on album sessions, 1967 ("Their Satanic Majesties Requests" to 2004-05 "A Bigger Bang" (Not sure about early sessions 1962-66):

Their Satanic Magesties Request (1967)--yes

Beggars Banquet (1968)-yes

Let It Bleed (r-1968-69)-yes

Sticky Fingers (r-1969-71)-yes

Exile On Main Street (r-1969-72)-yes

Goats Head Soup (r-1970-73)-yes

It's Only Rock n Roll (r-1973-74)-yes (just saw a CD titled "It's Only Goats Head Soup (But We Like it)" on a Japanesse web site--looked interesting.

Black and Blue (r-1974/75/76)-yes

Some Girls n(r-1977/78) yes

(Lets not forget the LA/Hollywood sessions of Summer-fall 1978)-yes

Emotional Rescue (1979/80)-yes

Tatto You (r1973-81)-yes

Undercover (1982/83)-yes

Dirty Work (1985)-yes

Steel Wheels (1989)--I'm not sure....some tracks claim to be "outtakes", but are actually B-sides, like Fancy Man Blues)

Voodoo Lounge (r-1993/94)-yes

Bridges To Babylon (r-1996/97)-NO(?)

A Bigger Bang (r-2004/05)--NO

makes me realise how rubbish my collection of stones stuff is.. if it's not an offical release there isn'tmuch else i have apart from a few boots from licks tour

didn't they do about 200 songs when they did the paris sessions for Fortly Licks as well.. don't think any of them have come out

there arent any in circulation from Steel Wheels

theres still quite a few from the early days most noatbly from Regent Studios Jan/Feb 64 and Chess Studios from later the same year

Once again, thank you Gazza!

In 1989, there was a New York Times (magazine?, it wasn't in the main newspaper), there was an interview with Keith Richards. It was after initial work on Steel Wheels had begun: the interviewer mentions that Keith played him a work tape from the 1989 sessions. I've always wondered if that tape leaked out into collectors hands (and ears!).

I wanna say this interview appeared in the spring (Apr-May?) of 1989....I'd bet its listed in a New York Times index. I'd love to have the interview.

I believe these two albums have got no outtakes because the outtakes are already included in these albums...

Interesting thread. Although the albums are a useful way of bracketing the outtakes it's probably more accurate to just use the recording session dates as some fall in between albums or weren't necessarily ever intended for the next album.
A few years ago I started a huge list of the titles of outtakes, ticking off those I had, so I had some idea how many were left to get. I might try and update this and print it here to pool resources with hundreds of other Stones nuts. It's a bit of a minefield with several tracks known by 2, 3, even 4 or more different names. Instrumentals are tricky to pin down without lyrics to give you any clues.
There must have been over 100 titles in my list and this was before the Voodoo Lounge outtakes! It did include 'mythical' tracks though like 'English Summer' from '67 which probably don't exist.

By the way Redrum, does that Japanese site have a track list for the 'It's Only Goats Head Soup (But We Like It)' boot? What a great name!

Tseverin

"It's Only Goats Head Soup (But We Like It)" is listed as "sold out" on the Japanesse site. Thus, you can't click on the album and see any additional information. There is some Japanesse writing next to it:

ROLLING STONES?@‚r‚n‚k‚c‚n‚t‚s?I
/IT`S ONLY GOAT`S HEAD SOUP...GUT WE LIKE IT
(ƒfƒWƒpƒbƒNŽd—l)

‘S‚P‚T‹È

Žc?” 0–‡ ‰¿Ši?@?@??3.000 "

Not those old chestnuts again!
Cheers anyway Redrum. I presume you are a Kubrick/Nicholson fan by the way?

Here is a track list for It's Only Goat's Head Soup. The sound quality is fantastic. Several of the alternates are better than the originals. Some of the stuff is available elsewhere.

1. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll [Rough-Mix]
2. Ain't Too Proud To Beg [Alternate-Mix]
3. Winter [Alternate-Mix]
4. Silver Train [Alternate-Mix]
5. Drift Away [Outtake]
6. Time Waits For No One [Long-Version]
7. Chris-Cross Man [Outtake]
8. Through The Lonely Nights [B-Side]
9. Living In The Heart Of Love [Outtake]
10. Too Many Cooks [Outtake]
11. Angie [Rough-Mix]
12. Dance Little Sister [Alternate-Mix]
13. Till The Next Goodbye [Alternate-Mix]
14. If You Can't Rock Me [Alternate-Mix]
15. Fingerprint File [Alternate-Mix]

hey--

can I ask the record (CD) label and matrix number?

the cover is the inner sleeve to Goats Head Soup! (which should have been the real, original cover in my opinion!)

recorded at the time that certain chapters of "Up and Down With The Rolling Stones" were supposedly taking place!

I love listening to outtakes. It's always interesting imo, to see just exactly what makes it onto an album and what doesn't.

Most interesting: "Time Waits For No One [Long-Version]". Is the solo of Mick Taylor longer on this version as on the realized track?
