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)
3. Let It Rock (live) Brown Sugar/Bitch/Let It Rock 7" EP
4. Sway (alt.version) Wild Horses 7" single
5. Wild Horses (promo version) Wild Horses promo 7" single
6. Exile On Main Street Blues Exile OMS promo 7" flexi single
7. All Down The Line (alt.version) Happy 7" single
8. It's Only Rock 'n Roll (promo version) It's Only R 'n R promo 7" single
9. Through The Lonely Nights It's Only Rock 'n Roll 7" single
10. Miss You (full length album version) Some Girls 8-track tape
11. Beast Of Burden (full length version) Some Girls 8-track tape
12. Shattered (promo version) Shattered promo 7" single

CD 2:
1. Far Away Eyes (single version) Miss You 7" single
2. Everything Is Turning To Gold Shattered 7" single
3. Before They Make Me Run (alt.version) Before TMMR promo 7" single
4. Emotional Rescue (promo version) Emotional Rescue promo 7" single
5. Dance (instr.) If I Was A Dancer/Dance 12" single
6. Waiting On A Friend (promo version) Waiting On A Friend promo 7" single
7. Undercover Of The Night (promo version) Undercover OTN promo 7" single
8. She Was Hot (promo version) She Was Hot promo 7" single
9. I Think I'm Going Mad She Was Hot 7" single
10. One Hit (To The Body) (edit) One Hit (To The Body) 12" single
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
5. Harlem Shuffle (New York Mix) Harlem Shuffle 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
(Casanova New Vocal Mix) Anybody SMB promo 12" single
10. Saint Of Me (Todd Terry Fade) Saint Of Me promo 12" single
11. Saint Of Me
(Todd Terry Tee's Freeze Dub) Saint Of Me promo 12" single
12. Saint Of Me (Todd Terry Dub #2) 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!

Sounds better then the one coming uot next month. And completer.

e.

not bad at all, I have to admit

What about the Voodoo Lounge B-sides? They seem to be missing from the official release also!

Ross

The Voodoo Lounge b-sides, as well as all the other b-sides from all albums (studio and live) after Dirty Work, were all released on CD (mostly on CD singles). This compilation contains only versions of songs that are not officially released on CD.

René

Maybe we can add the next songs to the tracklist:

- Star Star (cleaned up version) - Goats Head Soup US LP
- She's So Cold (cleaned up version) - She's So Cold promo 7" single

More suggestions?
