From Sean Egan´s book "The Rolling Stones and the making of Let It Bleed":

"...the album that was to have been titled Sticky Fingers and released in September 1969 was planned to comprise (in this sequence):"
Midnight Rambler / Love In Vain / Let It Bleed / Monkey Man //
Give Me Some Shelter / You Got Some Silver Now / Sister Morphine / Loving Cup.

I believe there were testpressings made - I´ve seen a photo somewhere of side 1 of a mono acetate (with the above first 4 tracks).
Also, someone (Stone-Relics?) has mentioned a stereo acetate with alternate versions/mixes of Midnight Rambler (Brian on slide!) and Monkey Man (Keith on b.vocals).
Would I love to hear those?
And, as I recall it, some tracks on the mono acetate were mixed differently.

Can someone tell us more about this?

No one here knows anything?

I found this info about LIB acetates

[www.popsike.com]

this one on ebay, presented as an acetate.

It looks like a test pressing with official mixes.

I have the UK mono Decca testpressing but, of course, it contains the official tracks.
The alternate versions are included in Stone-relics acetate.

Mr Relics assumed it was Brian on slide, nothing to really support that assumption.

Amazing !!

At the risk of sounding like a gear snob, I can't believe that someone is playing such a rare piece of vinyl on such a POS gramophone!
