Pure, vintage Stones.... now why the hell wasn't this the lead single from the reissue???!

Listening to the bonus CD tracks, it strikes me how much energy and passion they play and sing with. They really seem to be enjoying themselves and it's very easy to listen to/sing along with, even for non-Stones fans.... I guess that's whats been missing from their new music for many years.

Plundered My Soul is the recent find that really made me rediscover why the band has been so great in the past... even if they are not like this today.

Rant over!

I don't know, I find this one rather formulaic. The best rockers were the ones that made it on to the album. The ones here seem like throwaways. What's great about the new tracks are the country ones.

I agree...
One question is why didn't the Stones just release this album as a new stand a lone album like they did
when they released T.You?

Its a far better album then Bigger Bang...Yes i know it wasn't written today...But who cares when it was written...

If it sounds new and fresh and is great thats whats important. Its new to me!!

Incidentally, on the long bootleg version I have (certainly not the only one here) Keith starts out singing, "I love you too much," and I've a feeling he's thinking of Anita. And then Mick—just to be contrary and bitchy toward Keith (I think)—starts in singing, "I want to fukc you too much." Keith continues singing, "love you too much." But Mick keeps singing "fukc you too much." Countering Keith's sweet sentiment. Just to be a brat!

Not the same song...

I've had the same thoughts myself. I have been driving around for days with the CD playing in my car. It works as a coherent Stones album (the Exile disc did not, despite the spectacular "Plundered My Soul").

But I had another thought: Imagine a 5-song EP called "Some Country Girls". This would contain the four country songs from this disc plus "Faraway Eyes".

Same song as If You Can't Rock Me?

Some.

Keef could of TORE UP on ILYTM, if he wanted.

Finally, another "I Need You" fan...even if you don't know it...

Bob Dylan's last studio outtake release on his Bootleg series is stunning...practically like a new album. Alternate versions--practically new songs. It could be done if Mick wanted to go this direction but the fact that he's tagging these on to the reissue makes it clear how much he values the outtakes.

Ha. It's been awhile since I played the bootleg and I was working on memory. Well, I learned something today.

Tell Tale Signs? Yes, it´s fantastic. Not one bad song/version.

...BEST album since...Tattoo You...IMHO and way better that the EXILE unreleased tracks still IMHO;

I think most of us thinks the same. The Exile release did have a couple of nuggets though - at least if you count the "previously available" tracks Loving Cup and Good Time Women. But as a whole; the SG Deluxe disc beats Exile by far (IMO as well)

I Need You, not I Love You Too Much....
One of my favorite outtakes from those sessions.

Great piano-driven song, with both Mick and Keith sharing vocals....it sounds so spontaneous....'I won't f**ck you too much' and then Keith repeating the line....

I Love You Too Much is a great song, probably should have been on the original album instead of Lies. Also would have been a better choice as a single instead of No Spare Parts, because it has more direct appeal and after a few plays the chorus won't leave your head for the rest of the day! Suppose they thought they needed a slow country/ballad song just before Christmas.

I love it! At first, the verses may seem a little like a throwaway, but once you're hooked on that chorus, it's no way back. Great song, great playing, great sound, great performance.

It is presented as one of the new songs on the promo video, but I agree it was a little surprising that they chose No Spare Parts over this one as a single.

graet song! i liked it from the very beginning! a typical great stones rocker - that´s why i love them!

Yes that is "I Need You", and everytime I hear that song, that part sticks out to me. I honestly don't think there is all that Anita subtext going on. But that is just my opinion. I alwys thought it just showed a fundamental difference in Mick and Keith. Keith just would not sing "I want to fuc k you to much"; especially not in tandem with Jagger.

Yes, it's one of the highlights. Catchy - a pure stonesrocker.
Pure Stones territory, but something also reminded me of stones-efebes like Iggy Pop (Tell me a story (New Values, 1979 (!)) and New York Dolls 1973-4 (some of Jaggers phrasing has a taste of David Johansen (the "looove-you"-part of the chorus)).

Meanwhile I've never looked at it as a throwaway, I agree with you about the chorus - it's terrific, and also the chord sequences that follows right after. Top notch song - at least for being "an outtake"

There's another song that I'm surprised wasn't put on this, it's similar to that goofy Caribbean song in structure but is a rocker more so than I Love You Too Much. When I figure out/remember what it is I'll put it on here but it's better than this song I think, which makes Dance Little Sister seem like Gimme Shelter.

yep. the formula was invented in paris '77...they milked the hell out of then and ever since, too. this song is definitely throwaway stuff...but i'll keep it for now.
