That harsh snare sound is just so jarring and obtrusive. It's completely out of place and ruins the song for me.
I shouldn't say it ruins it for me...it's a decent little rocker, but the choice to make the snare so prominent in the mix is a curious one.Quote

Which oddly is what I like so much about this one ...

Neighbours and Black Limo - pure filler although N is far better than BL, which is a complete throw-away.

For non-Londoners, "trouble and strife" is Cockney rhyming slang for "wife". Adds an extra level of meaning to that line.

Wow! The vocal is the same take as TY, or maybe this was the original and
TY was sped up a hair, but it's the same vocal track. Guitars all over the place, love it, drums lower in the mix, but Ronnie's TY solo is still there. Still wondering if this is the original vocal that they sped up for TY, or if it's slowed down here. I'm guessing this was the original and they sped it up for TY.
Ah yes...that's another off-putting aspect of the song...no high hat for the first half. There's just the slightest hint of Charlie lightlly clapping the high hat to keep time, but other than that, it's just snare and bass drum.Quote

I emailed Clearmountain asking why there are no cymbals in the front half of the song. No response yet.

I disagree that this or the one I posted earlier use the same vocal from the album. At the end of both, Mick says, "Do unto neighbours, what you do to your wife." He never says that on the album. Anyway...

No answer because you are asking the wrong guy. Clearmountain is a great mixer but I doubt he would ever eliminate something like that from a mix. The likely reason they aren't there is because Charlie never played them in the first place.
