Both were available on my (sold years ago) vinyl copy of "Rape Of The Vaults/Gravestones." Mick sounds like some old, wrinkly black singer on PW. I remember putting together a tape of the Stones for a Grateful Dead (yawn) fan, and in the liner notes I mentioned that this version of PW was the last time I could remember Mick sounding like the black singer he aspired to be on the band's first three LPs (England's Newest..., 12X5, The Rolling Stones Now!).
My friend wasn't impressed with the tape. When he and I get together (he lives near Santa Barbara, Californkia), and he drives me to Los Angeles airport (two to three hours, depending on traffic, right Stoneslib?), I am forced to listen to Grateful Dead shows. Mein Gott, the only thing that gets me through these excellently recorded but dead-boring Dead shows on the drive South is the thought of ordering double Dewar's/Soda in the (First Class Alaska Airlines/American Airlines) Ambassador's Lounge), popping a 10mg. Valium, and my First Class dinner flight back to Seattle.
Last time I took this flight, in August 2002, I cleaned out the Johnnie Walker Black whisky in First Class! Man, what a party THAT was!!!
