Purchased a mint copy at a yard sale. I don't know anything about this album, I guess it was a final to fulfill a contract...
Wow. I should mail Mick Taylor my copy.Quote

Many of the older songs were not really the Stones, they were Mick singing with the "Andrew Oldham Orchestra". Taylor's writing credit was removed in later pressings...Poor Mick T. Can't catch a break on the writing credits.

<treasures not released>
Apart from Don't Lie To Me, the "treasures" are from 68/69.
The rest are tracks intended for other artists + Andrew's orchestra with session players like Page and Mc Laughlin.
not treasures, just whatever Klein could find to try and cash in on the tour. Half of it is not the Stones its studio musicians. Truly, a collection of the worst tracks released under the Stones name.Quote

This was an early collection of treasures not released, and in the same year as Dylans Basement Tapes which were bootlegged since 1969 and well-known for every hardcord Dylan-fan...that was not the matter with Metamorphosis while that one were very wellcome and a enjoyable listen to 'new songs'...this two album started up this thing with released older stuff for real even if it took even worser proportions with the CD-boxes era...
Metamorphosis is a killer...

He he, that was the Stevei Wonder track, right? Good one!
The Oldham/Richards penned "I'd Much Rather Be With The Boys" is probably the wors track the Stones ever released.
Jiving Sister Fanny, I Don't Know Why and Don't Lie To Me are the best tracks. Family has outrageous lyrics and Downtown Suzie is fun, without being nowhere near good, imo.
A mixed bag of outtakes and songs they wrote for other artists.
I think Jimmy Page is playing on the Heart Of Stone version. John Mc Laughlin is also playing on the album.

"Memo From Turner" is pretty cool, too.

It had to be released by Decca. Nicknamed: Klein's revenge.
As there was no new studio album both Klein and the Stones tried to cash in with compilations from the 75 US tour.

It's nice simply to have the BEGGARS BANQUET and LET IT BLEED session tracks that can be added to those albums in a playlist. Jiving Sister Fanny, I'm Going Down and I Don't Know Why are nice additions to LET IT BLEED. Downtown Suzie and Family for BEGGARS...

I think Downtown Suzie was recorded March/June 1968.

No, the version included on the album was recorded with Ry Cooder in spring 1969.
