This is a little off topic but I always really liked the inside photo of the Stones for Hight Tide and Green Grass.

COULD YOU WALK ON THE WATER? is really a mysterious case. Was the whole thing a hoax ALO did just to get publicity? Actually if we look the way it was advertised in the press it was NOT the 'same' album later they would call AFTERMATH. Namely, they were stating that the album was to be released in 10th of March. We see the track list that does basically derive from the December 1965 sessions (and only five of the to be released in AFTERMATH). But The Stones did very profilic studio sessions in March 6-9, just prior the proposed relaese date. From those sessions we got such songs as as "Paint It Black", "Under My Thumb", "Out of Time" and "Lady Jane" that sound crucial to AFTERMATH and its single releases.

There are possiblities. (1) One is that due the 'name problem' (like later with the war over the sleeve of BEGGARS BANQUET) the release of the new album (whatever it was called) was delayed, and since they made a very fruitful session 'while waiting' they decided to remake the content, and add new material (and skip some elder). (2) Then it is possible that they weren't satisfied with the material they had by then, and just decided to record some more. The title didn't have any role with it. (3) And finally, there is the option that it was all ALO's bullshitting. The band didn't had any plan to release anything in March, but were still doing the material that finally was released in April under the name of AFTERMATH.

But really "think" or "It's not easy" or "doncha bother me" are different version of the original in official "Aftermarth"???

That's what I'm wondering too.


The track listing was supposed to go like this:

Side One:
"19th Nervous Breakdown"
"Sad Day"
"Take It Or Leave It"
"Think"
"Mother's Little Helper"

Side Two:
"Goin' Home"
"Sitting On A Fence"
"Doncha Bother Me"
"Ride On Baby"
"Looking Tired"

Today more than ever before I was caught by the silent magic of " Looking Tired". (I have got that song on an old vinyl boot, called BRIGHT LIGHTS - BIG CITY. But google for it, if you don't know the song, I think it deserves it).
