It's MJ, holding Les Paul custom with brown pants and silly cars on jumper. On some pictures Wyman also wears similar designed jumper, so maybe that was some kind of inner joke between them smiling smiley

NOT MJ with his back to camera. The guy that’s facing the camera to the right of Ian as you look at the picture. With the moustache…that’s not MJ.


its the same outfit he has on a couple pictures up. the guy with the back to the camera is Mick. he's not talking about the guy with the mustache

On doing "Drift Away"; it may have been too soon and too big (the song was a smash Hit in 1973) to cover it. Usually the Stones cover obscure songs (Red rooster, Time is on my side etc...) or songs that were popular long time ago like Harlem Shuffle(1963/ 1986). But that should not tarnished the musical achievement.
Drift Away by the Stones has great guitar arrangments, a good groove and Mick Jagger is believable.

I totally agree with your assessment of Drift Away. It remains one of my favorite cover songs the Stones have tackled. IMHO a fantastic treatment all around. The bootlegged version I recall has a much more upfront guitar sound compared with the cut they "recently" released on Tattoo You 2021. Why they used that mix/take compared the original I haven't a clue.

In the great "Stones Unreleased Tracks" series by Peter Doggett in Record Collector in 1993/1994 he did mention some "Georgio Moroder Jams" but nothing's ever surfaced or even been rumored to exist. He must have been going on something though...

I could not find interviews or radio specials on It's Only Rock and Roll. Weren't there promotions, radio ads, and interviews?

So did they or did they not work on Troubles a-comin and Shame Shame Shame during these sessions?

I’m not saying the Tattoo deluxe versions, I’m saying in general

"Did they or did not..."? You entirely dismissed your question.

Trouble's' A Comin' is an ER leftover. Shame Shame Shame is an SG leftover. Mick worked on, apparently, 90% of the leftovers, as he expressed about TATOO YOU.

No idea.

"Trouble's' A Comin' is an ER leftover"

That's what Kimsey "recalls" in the TY Deluxe notes but until it appeared on FFSO and then on TTY Deluxe, all we had to go by was that very murky version on the VGP "Tie You Up" boot from the early 90s where it was mistitled as "Break Away"...it's possible the 73 version had been dug out and played back during these sessions like "English Rose" and "Man Eating Woman" was played back in Rotterdam in 75.

Actually this UMG promo page says it was recorded in Paris in 72 [www.umgcatalog.com] !

No idea.

Actually I asked two questions in one, but who wants to argue over semantics when nobody is answering either question. I clearly said I’m not necessarily referring to the outtakes.

It seems there are sources saying these songs were originally planned for IORR. So I am wondering if there is a more definitive source.

They did record songs over and over, as part of their warming up. Shame Shame Shame was probably recorded for 4 albums.

There is a radio interview made during European Tour '73 (I heard it in a bootleg over 20 years ago, so my recollectipn is not so detailed), and there Jagger or Taylor talks about the next album. The plan was that one side is covers, and the other live material.

So that plan was pretty early on. Some Stones biographies claim that they were worried about their muse at the time; will they have enough good original material. But when they went to the studio they discovered that no problem in that department.

I could easily imagine those claims have some truth in there. Probably they were a bit confused at the time. The new trends, of their direction, Keith's condition and whatever. They started to be yesterday's papers (GOATS HEAD SOUP did not much help) And damn, turning 30 years old!

he Original Album Cover Artwork for "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" by the Rolling Stones

Dimensions: 48 x 36 inches (121.92 x 91.44 cm)

Collage with original pictures pasted on canvas

Origin: The "Love You Live September" release party at Trax, New York City

Dimensions: H48 x W 36 inches ( cm)

Provenance: From the collection of Guy Peellaert

The story of this album cover is unlike its predecessors, and here's the opportunity to bid on the one-of-a-kind original cover artwork.

Peellaert was first involved with the Rolling Stones in his first book, "Rock Dreams". Since the book depicts the Rolling Stones in less than a desirable light, Peelaert captured the attention of the Rolling Stones. Despite his negative depiction, the Rolling Stones hired him to do the album artwork for their most recent project: "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" (IORR). The IORR album cover depicts the five band members descending a long staircase surrounded by "fans".

Peellaert happily experimented as a painter, illustrator, graphic artist and photographer. Through the multiple mediums Peelaert implemented, his art created a dark side to the Pop Art movement. In 1974, Elle magazine called him "the Michelangelo of Pop", a testament to his influential and collectable art, which remains in great demand today.

Although not a science, the artistic methodology often followed a specifically formulated process originating in photographic material. Due to the need for photos, Peellaert collected thousands of photographs of rock personalities, celebrities' faces, body parts, backgrounds, objects and other items of potential interest. In time this would grow into an archive of staggering size. The next step involved a rough sketch of the future composition, the equivalent of storyboarding a one-image movie.

Following a rough outline, Peelaert next painted the backgrounds and settings.

Following background scenery and storyline establishment, Peellaert would begin time-consuming picture research. Peellaert and several assistants would check their archived materials and collect material to act as the building blocks of his creations. Most photos originate from magazines and books that Peellaert assembled into his visual database during the Pop Art period. Acquisition of additional images included sourcing from picture agencies while shooting the rest directly with a Polaroid camera. Like many artists and non-artists at the time, Peelaert constantly took photos of his friends, himself, and even strangers to contribute to his archive.

A single photomontage involves dozens of such elements to construct the desired medley. An example of Peeleart's methods is the substitution of heads on the bodies of his friends. Each had to be printed individually at the exact scale required by the final composition. Upon completing the collage, Peelaert would print the photographs of the dozens of composite layers on a specific photo paper allowing the colour application.

Peelaert implements airbrush technics to apply colour while adorning small acrylic flourishes to emphasize specific effects. An example of acrylic accents is the white sheen on some of the faces of IORR.

Depicted in the image are 116 females and the five band members. Originally featuring 31 specific faces to use for all of the females, the final album cover hosted an additional person has been added to the vestibule (32 instead of 31, seen here), which has 117 females.

Let all the obsessives among us check that while the normies move along.
