Does Scarlet sound a little like Paul Simon’s Celia?
The melody of the Vocals (... Scarlet ...) reminded me immediately on this German Schlager (ESC-Song) from 1983:
Hoffmann & Hoffmann: "Rücksicht" - [www.YouTube.com] - (Pos. 0:42 and on)

I like what Jimmy does on the solos; they are very melodic and rhythmically good counterpoints to the vocals.
The name "Scarlet" is a good name for a title of a song but they already had "Angie" and Angie had to stay because one could have guessed from the start that it was going to be a huge hit.

And... Angie was recorded in 1972 for GHS while Scarlet was post-IORR release.

Ok.I thought Scarlett was born around the making of the Soup. Anyway too many Chicks names would have spoiled the Goat Head Soup.

That bridge, although certainly reminiscent of Tops/IYRWTBM Friend is just ragged perfection! Love it.
When exactly did they forget to make such great bridges? Right after Undercover, I guess.
Also those piled up ragged harmonies/double/triple tracked vocals... To me they are a vital sound of the Stones and completely absent for almost all of their 'recent' work.
Yes to IFRWTBMF, got that at first listen and I've only heard it once. Fun to pull out stuff like that. Hardly a Stones songs with only Mick and Keith. As discussed earlier two extra cuts on the bonus disc also have Jimmy Page?? All The Rage, a cool boogie-woogie could be the best of the unholy trio.

I'm late to the party but why then is an IORR outtake being released under GHS?

Same reason there are out of era tracks on EOMS and SG's reissues: because they don't care.

The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me. It's like they expect an unreleased song from The Stones to be the next "Paint It Black" and when it isn't, they are disappointed. Thick as mince I tell ya.....
I like the track, and I'm happy that I've got the chance to hear it.

It didn't pass muster way back then in '74, it wasn't resurrected and reworked to become part of Tattoo You in '81, and finally in 2020 they scrape the bottom and add it to a Deluxe set.
Not saying it's bottom of the barrel quality, but there's reasons they neglected it all these years - it just doesn't pass muster. And now, it's simply a glorified leftover.
Insulting though that in order to purchase the 7" vinyl single, you have to splurge on a double vinyl bundle.
Many of us have already ordered the double vinyl, and some the 4 LP set, so why force the unwanted and unnecessary?
Still a chance there will be a single on it's own, but they should have made it available immediately - talk about milking this for all it's worth....lame...
