I do have to mention something about Mick and Keith's early songwriting. A few of the hits were written in the key of E major. The Last Time, Satisfaction, Get Off of My Cloud and 19th Nervous Breakdown. Can anyone explain this? Was it because Mick had a limited vocal range? Keith only new a major scale in the key of E? I always wondered this point. Granted they got more diverse key wise later on when they wrote, but four hits in a row in the key of E makes me scratch my head. All great songs I might add.

I definitely agree that the arrangements are crucial to making a great track!
Quite interesting is that the first Stones album not to have the "Arranged by the Rolling Stones" credit is Beggars Banquet.
Either Mick and Keith didn´t allow as much input as before, or Brian/Bill/Charlie didn´t (couldn´t/wouldn´t?) contribute as much anymore...

It's here!!!
Quality is ok, pretty hissy though and the cassette has the wobbles in places.
Nazi stuff takes up about 15 minutes. It's just what sounds like an organ drone with speech over the top.
However, once the nazi stuff cuts out there's some music featuring what sounds like dulcimer with acoustic guitar and then some messing about on piano.

Sounds a bit like Keith to me, I doubt it's Brian.
