Did Harwood produce? I thought he only mixed/engineered.
Mick and Keith were the producers, no?

Jimmy Miller was strung out at the time, so I doubt he would've helped.
Theres no issue with the production of the record.
Some better songs might've helped

As much as I love GHS I do not think that it was very well recorded or mixed. If you compare the studio and live versions of 'Dancing with Mr D' you'll notice what they could make out of that song.
So I am in doubt if Jimmy Miller would have improved IORR greatly (but I like the Album as it is).

You don't think some of the songs are too long and repetitive?

First of all, is this true?
"The album was at first developed as a half-live, half-studio production with one side of the album featuring live performances from the Stones' European tour while the other side was to be composed of newly recorded cover versions of the band's favourite R&B songs. Covers recorded included a take of Dobie Gray's "Drift Away", Shirley & Company's "Shame, Shame, Shame", and The Temptations' "Ain't Too Proud to Beg". Soon the band began working off riffs by Richards and new ideas by Mick Jagger and the original concept was scrapped in favour of an album with all-new material. The cover of "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" was the only recording to make the cut, while the "Drift Away" cover is a popular bootleg."

I had never heard of the half-live/half-covers plan.
In any case, I would have turned it in to an EP:
IORR
Through the Lonely Nights
TWFNO
Fingerprint File
Drift Away

Miller would have removed one of the weaker songs and he would have made the boyz work on "Save Me".
