A younger friend of a friend of mine named Daniel whose in his early 30's was at my studio a while back partying when the Stones version came on the radio, and he swore Townes' version of Dead Flowers was the original.
Daniel is a semi-pro musician himself in the same style as Townes - acoustic singer/songwriter stuff played at local coffe houses, etc. Little did he know he was talking with a semi-knowledgeable Stones fan, so I acted naive and innocent and placed a $20 wager with him that it was a Jagger/Richards original. All I had to do was walk ten feet over to my record collection for the evidence and the deal was done. Sometimes it pays to be a Stones fan, but in reality everybody won as the money went towards more beer.

I was in a bar in Memphis (didn't meet a ginsoaked barroom queen however, although been to that alleged place too) a few years ago, the guy played Wild Horses and asked who wrote it.
I of course answered the obvious and proceeded to get in an argument because he insisted Graham Parsons wrote it about Emmylou Harris and the Stones stole it.
Said he knows people who know people that said that's true.
Whole sounding plausible, been a long running rumor that's been all but proven false.

All of the songs on STICKY FINGERS and several songs on EOMS are owned by ABKCO Music. ABKCO's just never done anything with the rest of the tunes, so to speak.

The same goes for the Exile songs on the promo sampler "Songs Of":

Interesting information in that thread.
There's a post in there where it says Stanley Booth stated that Loving Cup was recorded at Muscle Shoals in 1969. Everything else points to that not being true. Loving Cup done in 1969 during sessions that included Jiving Sister Fanny, Live With Me, Let It Bleed, Monkey Man.
Exile is really a mixture of bits and pieces left over from the previous album recorded at Olympic Studios and which, after we got out of the contract with Allen Klein, we didn't want to give him: tracks like Shine a Light, and Sweet Virginia. Those were mixed up with a few slightly more grungy things done in the South of France. It's seen as one album all recorded there and it really wasn't. We just chucked everything in.

What's funny about Mick's statement of not wanting to "give him" Shine A Light and Sweet Virginia among more that he didn't name is that they're ABKCO Music. It's probably meant in terms of letting Decca have them on an album instead of RSR/Atlantic - they're ABKCO Music publishing but performance wise they're RSR/Atlantic.
Which is potentially weird in a way - they didn't want him to have those but it was OK for him to have Honky Tonk Women? Kind of an odd mentality. Who knows. At the time of their trajectory it makes sense that they released HTW because Loving Cup and Sweet Virginia and Shine A Light are not hit songs, obviously, in hind sight, but also they most likely didn't finish those songs anyway (and it's possible they recorded them again, since they did record songs and do overdubs for EOMS in Los Angeles at the end of 1971).
Some mental game they were involved in possibly.
