Still, Collectibles (USA) = Collector's Edition (Europe) are not outtakes from Flashpoint.

My teenage son was listening to my friend and I talking about Highwire when it was playing. We were saying it sounds like the Stones. My son didn't think it sounded like the Stones at all. He only really knew Hot Rocks at the time.
When did this sound/style sound like the Stones? What else sounds like Highwire's sound, etc...

I guess you could say from 1978 onward.

Hey!
I love Highwire and Sex Drive from Flashpoint but I was wondering if there were any studio songs that were not included on the album. If you know anything, do tell!

I would say from Steel Wheels onward. Too clean. Maybe due to digital recording.

In terms of that sound/style, why I noted 1978 is because of Charlie's change in drumming plus the use of the China crash that he started to use during the second half of the SOME GIRLS recording sessions (I think it's only on 2 songs on the album). It's probably a lot to do with the studios they used, which was through DIRTY WORK - Compass Point and RCA's recordings sound no different than the Pathé Marconi recordings.
As well as they used Chris Kimsey for recording as well as producing all of those albums except DW. He did STEEL WHEELS as well as Highwire and Sex Drive, the last work he did with the Stones, so it's a consistent sound and or style.
Or even better from 67! Or do you want to tell me that BTB or TSMR sounds like classic Stones?Quote

Not sure if the following list has already been posted here.
Given the high quality of these songs, I put together my own "Flashpoint Outtakes" compilation CD about 20 years ago, here are the tracks and their respective sources:
Play With Fire: extra track on CD-single Highwire 1
2000 Light Years From Home: extra track on CD-single Highwire 2
I Just Want To Make Love To You: extra track on CD-single Highwire 2
Tumbling Dice*: extra track on CD-single Jumping Jack Flash
Street Fighting Man*: extra track on CD-single Jumping Jack Flash
Undercover Of The Night: extra track on CD-Single Ruby Tuesday 1
Harlem Shuffle: extra track on CD-Single Ruby Tuesday 2
* from IMAX film
The special release "Flashpoint Collectibles" in the leather CD case does not contain any of these tracks.
