it's remarkable that mick didn't butcher this and render it unlistenable with the new vocals. there's hope, after all.

We do indeed. I was having lunch with Mick at Taco Bell the other day and he mentioned that seeing Honestman's post was what gave him the idea of including it on SG Deluxe.

Yuck. You know the "meat" is below the quality of meat used for dog/cat food there right? Well, it is in all fast food places but for some reason Taco Bell is the worst.

The original outtake is pure perfection. I do think Jagger spoiled it with the new vocals.

I get it.
We get used to what we hear.
But grateful it finally got released: it's pretty damn good regardless.
So much more they could've done. Misty Roads for one.
They finished those blues tunes... really? Not sure why the time, AHEM, effort, was put in to the better songs.

Quite so .
I love the whole album .
Could it have a better track list ? ...maybe.
Are there better versions of some songs? ... possibly.
But I still love it as it is...
wish they'd release it on vinyl

The real shame is that it got sort of buried with Some Girls. This album could have stood on it's own, much like Blue & Lonesome, as an homage to country.
That could have given this more deserved visibility.

Thus far with these re-issues, the bonus disc on Some Girls for me ranks near the top as far as any official rarities/outtakes the Stones have released (the Exile re-lease being second). Even with newer vocals added, as a whole, the bonus cuts are strong with very little filler. Since its release, I have found myself coming back and listening to the bonus disc more often than the original Some Girls release.
Regarding Do You Think I Really Care (even with new vocals added), IMHO is the cream of the crop. It has grown on me over the years.
Like treaclefingers noted above, the bonus album could have been a great stand-alone, as a homage to country. Which brings me to another topic that is no surprise to Stones fans: The Stones do country really well. In fact, they are one of the very few talented artists (which is one of the reasons they have lasted over 60 years) that can venture into different musical genres (country, disco, punk, psychedelia, etc) and produce something worthwhile.
Regarding the Stones flirting with country music, I came across a U Tube video entitled Stones Country (which were alternate boot versions of country tunes that have circulated for many years now)
[www.youtube.com]
and it got me thinking of what I would consider to be a great official anthology release of Stones country cuts. I would do a little re-arranging and re-shuffling of those U Tube video selections (substituting commercially released takes) and it would look more like this:
1) Dead Flowers
2) Far Away Eyes
3) No Expectations
4) Dear Doctor
5) The Worst
6) Country Honk
7) Do You Think...?
8) Torn & Frayed
9) Wild Horses
10) Factory Girl
11) No Spare Parts
12) You Win Again

That's what I've often thought and said .
The Some Girls "Bonus Material" is genuinely one of my favourite albums...
...and I ain't apologising for that
