Apparently there are 3 verions of guitar players for this number: Ry Cooder (in "London Years") / Brian Jones on BB Jam Sessions and AL Kooper on "Keef Affair".
Can anyone help me find the so-calles BRIAN Version?

Brian had some kind of genius for finding people, didn't he?

Although I'm interested in the genesis and history of the various versions, for me there is only one with full impact and power, and that's the soundtrack version with Ry. I do not think they could ever improve on it; I think the K version pales in comparison; You can't approximate Ry in this context imo. There is only one that made the final cut to the movie and soundtrack and I think in the end they got it perfect and right and did the totally right thing. It's pure rock and roll bliss; and it's scary as hell...and meant to be...this is great great music imo.
... And it is one of the most powerful and personally important 'stones' track to me ever...tho I know it's technically a solo cut...
...it is top of the line creme de la creme Rolling Stones fine, however with session cats instead of our (not so old at the time) boys. Only one version of this made history, albeit forever under-rated and ignored, and only one reamains important and vital to me. Top drawer stuff.

Agree with you, Hopkins. Same with Mick's vocal. The soundtrack version has the killer vocal where he puts everything into it. The METAMORPHOSIS version has Jagger going through the motions of just rehearsing a song.

As for the initial question, I'm unaware of a "Brian" version. I've heard an outtake of the METAMORPHOSIS version and an outtake of the soundtrack version and that's it.
