Date: October 20, 2005 14:56
I know this has been on before (several times actually),but I had to get this off my chest, sorry for that.
I.m.o. the tracklist for the Rarities CD should have been:
The Rolling Stones - Rarities 1971-1986
CD 1:
1. Brown Sugar (alt.version) Hot Rocks 2LP (first pressing only)
2. Wild Horses (alt.version) Hot Rocks 2LP (first pressing only)

11. Winning Ugly (promo version) Harlem S promo 7" single (Argentina)
12. Back To Zero (promo version) One Hit promo 7" single (Argentina)
All versions never released before on CD (except Everything Is Turning To Gold, this one is included to make the studio b-sides collection complete).
The compilation is called "Rarities 1971-1986",because after Dirty Work (1986) all b-sides, alt. versions & promo versions were released on CD.
I know the promo versions are edited and very annoying, but as a collector.......
well, you know.
To make it all complete, they should also include a "Mixes 1983-1998" bonus CD:
1. Too Much Blood (Dance Version) Too Much Blood 12" single
2. Too Much Blood (Dub Version) Too Much Blood 12" single
3. Undercover Of The Night (12" Version) Undercover Of The Night 12" single
4. Feel On Baby (Instrumental Dub) Undercover Of The Night 12" single

6. One Hit (To The Body) (London Mix) One Hit (To The Body) 12" single
7. Winning Ugly (New York Mix) Winning Ugly 12" single
8. Anybody Seen My Baby
(Soul Solution Remix Edit) Anybody SMB picture 7" single
9. Anybody Seen My Baby

10. Saint Of Me (Todd Terry Fade) Saint Of Me promo 12" single

13. Saint Of Me (Deep Dish Rolling Dub) Saint Of Me promo 12" single
14. Out Of Control (Bi-Polar Outer Version) Out Of Control picture 7" single
Especially the Anybody Seen My Baby, Saint Of Me and Out Of Control mixes are awful, but again: Hey, I'm a collector!
