Very cool... I love this track... it floods memories of such great times
and it is cool the early versions exist... and they allow them to run around in the wild to be heard
Yeah, heard it on training wheels. Great version. better than the official one, imo.

At one stage Mick felt that the Burundi drummers should be approached to ad percussion cause of the North African or Eastern feel in the song, but a sequence of events where history was about to repeat itself dedicated otherwise. Brian Jones had recorded the G'naoua and the Maalimin of Jajouka in 1968. Bachir Attar, the son of the then chief, had written to the Stones inviting them over to Morocco to record.
the Burundi drummers?
Thanks

i just don't know what the hell happens with these latter day stones albums.
you listen to the bootlegs and they are jamming their asses off ,it's the old stones.it could be from any year,them playing in rehearsals from the steel wheels and voodoo lounge era is as good as any other time,they are kicking it-then we get the album.
somewhere in there the "rolling stones sound" is completly being lost.i would have thought they were washed up if i didn't go see them live.listen to "hold on to your hat" it sounds dirty,gritty clasic stones.then you listen to steel wheels and it on just doesn't have it.
you can't blame 80's production because it happened through the 90's and on bigger bang too,you can't blame don was because he works for the stones not the other way around.
training wheels is a great bootleg but listening to it just frustrates me.

well, i think it Is to blame on the producer, the sound on Steel Wheels for instance is so bland, while on Training Wheels, as Motlow is writing , The band is sounding great.
Thank god for bootlegs as Training Wheels.

'Continental Drift' early version' , This version has Mick jagger experimenting with a drum machine and a Korg synthesizer, Matt Clifford was involved and you can hear Keith scratching a bicycle wheel. I find it interesting that The Stones went to Morocco to record the Master Musicians of Jajouka for the Steel Wheels album, an instrumental version was used throughout The Steel Wheels/ Urban Jungle Tour before the band entered the stage and that was pretty Cool. In 2003 I attended the Crossing Border Festival in the Hague to see the Master Musicians of Jajouka with Lee Renaldo "Sonic Youth".

Continental Drift was excellent as an intro in 1989/90, maybe the best intro they ever had - but as a song it is absolutely horrible. I dont know how this could end on a Rolling Stones record, its completely weird and the Stones do hardly participate in that... whatever. It´s an intro, just an intro, no song at all. Weakest spot on Steel Wheels. Even Thief In The Night shines compared to that... whatever it is.

A lovely tune. It was nice that the Stones tried to experiment again, something they have so many times earlier on with great results, imo. This embryonic version is a nice document of the song's creation.

Nice sounding indeed, but a bit too far out to be considered a great Stones song - it just rambles on and on.
It's like an experimental ambient soundscape run amok as heard at an ectsacy induced rave - perhaps in that sense it was ahead of it's time .
Might have worked better edited to 30 seconds and inserted in a middle section of a genuine tune.

Interesting to listen to, thanks for sharing. What fascinates me is if they already knew at this time that they wanted to add the Joujouka instruments to it or were they still just mucking around?

At one stage Mick felt that the Burundi drummers should be approached to ad percussion cause of the North African or Eastern feel in the song, but a sequence of events where history was about to repeat itself dedicated otherwise. Brian Jones had recorded the G'naoua and the Maalimin of Jajouka in 1968. Bachir Attar, the son of the then chief, had written to the Stones inviting them over to Morocco to record.
