He was paid for Tops.
What's your source, an official reference, or do you have a link please, DP?
Insider info. No proof or quote. Just passing what I was told.

Of course he was paid for Tops - he plays on it. Paid during the GHS sessions and then, most likely, mechanical royalties from the release of TATTOO YOU onward.

Taylor was paid because he sued the stones. When tattoo you came out.

Is there any proof Bill plays bass on WOAF? Because isn’t he only playing bass on like half of GHS? Maybe it’s Taylor on bass onWOAF.Maybe his playing is more understated than usual, like on Torn and Frayed

There’s definitely an acoustic on the basic tracks. It might be bleeding into a mic, or it might be mixed very low. The giveaway is that it’s playing a different rhythm than the electric.
Damn, post that track.

He did sue them. However, it never went to court because it was settled out of court.

What was he payed for then? Is there any interesting non-biased link? All I remember is reading it in the papers back then. Long ago.

You read in the papers that he sued them? I don't think so.

Yes, it was in the papers in Holland; not that Taylor sued them but there was a conflict between him and the Stones. It read it at my sisters farm. I don't remember the exact content of course, but is was a little sensation for me because I wasn't even aware of the release of TY, nor had I heard WOAF while it was a hit for weeks already. I discovered the song in the late 8-tees.

It’s in the early version and the official release. I made notes where it is most evident on the track talk page. You can hear the upper-mids and high end. If you have software, you can use a band pass to isolate it as well.
At first I thought it was a reflection in a reverb, but it’s a different rhythm altogether. That said, it could very well be Jagger.

Mick Taylor stated this was pure gossip and nothing to do with reality.
He never sued them. All was settled tranquil. He got his share and has always been treated nicely by the other Stones members. He has gotten help when necessary - also when included for the 50 anniversary tour.

I remember on either a radio interview or guitar magazine that MT learned of Tatoo You from John Mayall as they we’re together planning the reunion tour with blues breakers and MT saw the two tracks and they discussed well that’s my playing and should get compensated

Great album, great sound, great Mick Taylor.
Gold Stones era.
I just listened to Leeds 1971 from the 2015 Sticky Fingers box for the first time and the dynamic range compression is atrocious.Quote

What to expect ? Shitty sound:
[dr.loudness-war.info]
Perhapse they will reach DR 4 this time with the bonus disc being even louder.
Honestly i can't stand this compression any more.
I'm with you on that one .
Not all re-masters have been too bad though.
The Abbey Road boxed set and the BB are very good on vinyl.
[...and, as an aside, the new Main Offender re-release is better than I expected in this respect.]
[The first Abbey Road Exile was too loud though.
I suspect that a better flat digital transfer was used by Miles Showell for the one in the later boxed set...and he showed pretty good taste in his efforts with all of them ]

That sounds great and all (I would buy one) but really just Brussels Affair in its entirety would be better. Maybe some stray bonus tracks to finish up the first disk, but Brussels needs to get out to the masses who couldn't afford it as it was released.
