The acustic guitar sounds like a Mick overdub from 2020....

My ONLY criticism of the Paul Mescal video for Scarlet is that he didn't strip down to show us some more of...him....he's a hottie.

100% of Mick's vocals are from 2020, Keith's backing vocals are from 1974, which were the original and only vocals in the song back then.

Sexist. Can we watch the girl in Criss Cross Man again now?

Many different versions but still the interesting thing for me is it's genesis.
Listened again to first version again and again am really convinced it's a Ronnie song. All his hallmarks. And his style of his first album. A definite Faces feel to it. Loose. I strongly suspect that Keith and he messed about on this and that the lead parts were originally his. The drumming is like Newmark would do.
Keith with downtime in October '74 pulled in some players to lay it down. No Woody, so Page. No Newmark and Weeks either.
Mick ' where's the Party's Jagger might have been there in '73 or '74 when it being attempted first. But Keith was the house, basement, live-in band mate. Was there an original tape that Keith had access to in late '74?
No offense. To be honest it doesn't remind me of a solely Ron Wood riff. Thanks for the comments but I don't hear Ms Judy's Farm, Stay With Me, Angel, or even I can Feel the fire in this song.
All said, it is really a hodge -podge of any or everything crossing Led Zepplin notable riffs along with the Stones".
None taken. I was thinking of his style on his girl um. But also like tunes called Tell Everyone, but anyway the loos and relaxed style.
Cheers.

Both videos (Scarlet and Criss Cross) are made by ad agencies. Maybe Jagger have approved a synopsis. Maybe not. Ad agencies always target younger people. After 45 you don't exist in their world.
They chose a female pin-up for the first video and a male for the second (Scarlet). From a marketing standpoint the second choice was wise. An actor who's "hot" for the moment
(even though he is probably unknown for people over 45 [but they do not count] and in the USA). And female (where a man is the sex object) sexism is not politically incorrect.

Okey, videos aside (they are just promotion tools). I would rank Scarlet first among the three new songs before Criss Cross and Living in a Ghost Town.
Sure, it's outtake material but it has a good hook. And almost anything from that period is better than the post 83 era.

Oh no. I like Between the rock and a hard place, you got me rocking, out of tears, saint of me, out of control, biggest mistake, laugh I nearly died, stealing my heart, can't be seen and many other post 83 songs on the same level as 1970s albums.

This could have been a much bigger hit than Angie. But for unknown reasons (maybe that Mick wasn't involved) it was shelved and never worked on it again until now. If this had been given the "some more sessions" treatment, it would have become a really great song. The hook is great, the rest is chaotic, sloppy and boring. Don't like it much.
An ok demo, as Criss Cross is, too.

I know this is probably sacrilege, but what if they had given this track to a young rock and roll singer. A session man, so to speak.
Mick is 75, his voice doesn't have the same quality and he's mostly doing mannerisms now.
