Well they sure are using the tape box imagery to full effect.

Keeps me wondering about the stu jimmy and keef notation. Looks more like a note to accompany the song now than it seemed to before, where it looked like another song on the tape possibly.

Is Ian Stewart credited on Scarlet?

Anyway a lot better than I expected. I think the vocal sounds vintage, but there is something about it makes it sound kind of layered on top of the backing track. Sound convincing though, just like everyone says. Glad this will be included with the extra tracks but don't think I would jump through many hoops to get it on 7", especially with no b side.

Does sound like it could have been faded by 3:00.

Well we know for sure he recently added an acoustic guitar and maracas to the song but the fact the vocals are so hard to tell if they're from '74 or now is simply put amazing. Mick Jagger honestly keeps getting better with age. Can't believe he'll be 77 in 3 days!!

Where did you hear that?

The acoustic guitar sounds different than the rest of the instruments. "Newer" I guess is the best way to put it, much clearer. He's credited with playing acc. guitar on the song and he also stated in the interview he overdubbed maracas as well.

>Grab it on 7" jb ... other wise you'll be

Ain't that the way it always works out!

But I am not buying another copy of the LP to get it with, "exclusive" cover or not.

At a first listen, it's ok. Nice chords. Great riff. Not that much. Fourth listening, with cancellation of center channel to find below the surface, and you can hear vintage Keith singing! At least I her him. Stu on `piano for sure, from 1:21 on clearly. And playing C#minor chord!! Haha.

Presumably the "pressings" of the CD singles are in very LOW numbers, perhaps a few thousand?

Hate to be dense, but "CD singles"? Where are they available? All I have seen is the one sided 7" that you have to buy the LP to get, from RS.com

CD singles went the way of Sam Goody

I though I read something about an expensive CD single, my bad.

Good song!

I have listened to this track several times and overall, I don't like it. It starts off with a promising instrumental groove, however Mick's vocals just seem to me to be out of step, almost unrelated to this groove and pitched too high. Everything in musical taste is, of course, subjective, but without all Stones present on this recording, I can't in all honesty say this track interests me enough to include it anywhere in my extensive Stones collection. I'll buy the deluxe GHS in September and just about tolerate 'Scarlet' on my way to the real Stones gem of this period: the CD issue of Brussels Affair featuring the great (greater than Page!) Mick Taylor at his peak.

The IORR crowd is a funny and versatile one : for years we've been moaning about this legendary outtake (and its rumored "lost" status) and now that we can hear it, it's a concerto of "meh... don't like it... how dare they release this thing!").

Don Was built it up too much!

I’m reminded of an old Stones story, where it was said that Mick liked to purposely make his vocals hard to understand so that people would listen to the record over and over again to make out what he’s saying.

In this case, it’s blurring the lines between old vs young mick so that we keep listening to the song over and over again to see which Mick is singing.

Really though, it shouldn’t matter which Mick is singing.

I remember him saying that story somewhere too. I recall he said the old blues guys had told him that was deliberate to make people buy the records to listen to them again and again to decipher the words better.

life I'm sluggin lots of Bombay Gin ..... hick!!

Got me work mate Ray Gun hooked on it and the other day
he asked me ... "Is it the gin that's blue or the bottle?" ....hhhaaa

I'm holding out for this nugget until the 4th of sep. But to quote Pete Townshend, It's Hard.

just wanted to say about Scarlet....the harmonies...Mick backed by Keith in that 70's way reminds me of another reason why I fell in love with this band....that's one of the x factors to this song.....can't underestimate the power of those 2 voices together and the sound they make.....vintage

Those minor chords will always be Mick's melodic secret weapons to get to us where it feels good.

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.

Why would it be considered stupid not to like a song? What a completely stupid thing to say.

I don’t think that’s what strat was saying treacle. I think his “stupid” comment was merely re expectations that an unreleased track, unreleased for a valid reason generally, was ever likely to be as good/great as songs The Stones DID deem worthy of, and did, release back in the day.
