Apologies if this was covered before. Why was Claudine not officially released before? what where the problems?

Because it's a extremely boring song.

Because it's a extremely boring song.
For the extremely depressed, yes
IMO, it has an incredible groove, and is one of the better authentic rock'n'roll tunes by the Stones.

In my opinion because it is a rather mediocre song, an real outtake, the weakest of the new "Some Girls". Even better is the long original version with some interesting RW-licks which are completely absent on the released version in '11.

I find Claudine to be a mediocre song, as well - and especially when compared to the other songs of the Some Girls album, and the best "outtakes" from those days. But still.....it's not directly bad either; and it has a style/rythm which is quite unique in the Rolling Stones catalogue. So not a total waste - like some other "trying to sound like Rolling Stones songs"-songs, like Rough Justice, Let Me Go, Sad Sad Sad, etc.
The longe/slower version is quite more interesting, I agree

I like the song, but it doesn't fit with Some Girls, that may be why left off the album.

It's tough company for Let Me Go, being mentioned together with those other 2, yes I know. But considering how great RS were in 1979-1980, and also considering how great most of Emotional Rescue is, I think Let Me Go can take it

but, here's the acid-test for songs that are "trying to sound like the Rolling Stones," erik: name one other song prior to LMG that it reminds you of. i can't. so, ergo, it's not trying to sound like them...your turn.

You do have a point there, that LMG is not a "clone" of a previous RS song. I'll just give you that point. But it has something to do with the mood they're creating - and the chord sequenzes, and the lyrics which are besically saying nothing, without being original or being good in any other ways. To me, it's the weakest track on ER, after Indian Girl. I don't hate it or anything like that....it's just that I could easily do without it; and sometimes skip it - unlike most RS tracks from 1968-1983.

i love the tune...it's taut and tight...charlie's on the money and keef delivers one of his crispier solos...also like how the handled it on the tattoo you tour...although it seems that all of their rockers, no matter how arranged in the studio, turn out to be chuck berry rave-ups on stage....they simply can't help it...or something.

Maybe you look at Let Me Go the same way I look at Love You Too Much and Tallahassee Lassie....even before the official release. Then I understand....reminds me of the innocent old bootleg title; "remember what kind of R&R made your feet loose control". Let Me Go just never did it for me - unlike most of ER.
