I am puzzled why b-sides were not part of this. Not too big a deal as I own them anyway (I know we had Key To The Highway, at least a live Gimme Shelter, and some Big Enough remixes
The 1st two were released in 1993 so they'd be part of a MO expanded edition.
Maybe Keef decided to ditch the remixes as they reek of some "1980's record industry bullsh!t, man!"

Yes, - bad memory on my part. But Key To The Highway, actually was released a few years earlier as the same version is on Johnnie Johnson's "Johnnie B. Bad" album.

Make no mistake-when I say negative shit about Keith that’s inside stuff for the board and hardcore fans to digest.
In real life I’ve told guitar players right to their face that Keith Richards is the best rock and roll guitar player that ever lived-the stammering and but but Hendrix,Page and and and ..always makes me laugh.
I always say the same thing - what about the song? What about the groove.are you playing a song or just hitting a bunch of notes and making everyone say wow!?
He makes it look so easy that it fools you but have you ever heard anyone actually play a guitar like Keith.you end up with the Black Crowes or something and thinking “great,nice try kid”
With the tour coming up I’ve been listening to alot of boots,live and studio which is the only Stones I listen to anyway as well as Main Offender and Talk is Cheap.they are better than I remember.
Struggle has been in my head,the way he just nails that opening,da da dant da and then lets it hang for just the right second.man that’s timing,that’s guitar playing.
I’m gonna grab this set and circle back to cross eyed heart as well,I only gave it a quick listen and it didn’t really click the first time.
I had the exact same reaction. Listening right now to try to warm up to it.Quote

seems a reasonable amount of love for it...I only listened to it once as well and found it a snoozer...may give it another chance on the weekend.

CROSSEYED HEART is, to me, anyway, what TALK IS CHEAP would've sounded like if he'd spent a good bit more time on it. As it is, TIC has some fantastic detailed moments. CH is a bit more intimate though.
I'm not comparing their reasons for existence - TIC came out of frustration and a new found musical life and a refining of a sound - Take It So Hard is just that exactly. CH was just because of existence, without anything to prove.

I agree CH is more intimate and Talk is Cheap is more raw with Keith's untamed songs and at times we have unfinished lyrics you want more as a listener, but I think its a great record and the bonus tracks with MT and JJ are great.
I listened to the radio show part 2 with Keith and Stevie and was shocked that Stevie asked Keith was there any blood between you and Mick Taylor and Keith immediately pushed back to Taylor's involvement with the 50th tour even though we all know MT was only on stage for a couple of songs etc. It was Keith's way of changing the subject in a positive way.

Blues In The Morning is just the sound of Keith enjoying a Chuck Berry romp. That's all it is. It should've been the B-side to Trouble.
You're right, there's nothing specific about it, it's just a kind of run-through-have-fun rumble. I still laugh at "I don't care cause I'm a millionaire".
For me, It Means A Lot is the worst track on TALK IS CHEAP. I've never cared for Big Enough or Rockawhile but It Means A Lot is just bad.

MAIN OFFENDER has them in a row - Yap Yap and Bodytalks.
I can't stand it when an artist wants to "say something" and it's just an awful song... and it gets released, while usually something way better is left off.

I wonder why when we discuss Keith solo, Wingless Angels never gets mentioned.
Despite not having any KR songs on them I consider those two WA albums, the second in particular, fully legitimate KR babies!

I only know the first, which, indeed is great. And it shows a side of Keith which especially non-Stones fans wouldn't easily know: subtlety (impossible word to write by the way).
So, the second is even better? I thought it would be just left-overs from the 1st session. In what way is it better? Is it still available anywhere anyway?
