Following the River?? I can’t agree that it sounds like a real left over from Exile. I am full of respect for Mick right now, but this was a horribly overwrought track. Can you seriously imagine FTR alongside Happy and Let it Loose?Quote

Wow, quite different from the "50 fully finished" version. But not better, unfortunately. I like the music, but Jaggers singing is...too smooth, of clean of whatever you wanna call it. Like he sat when he sung it instead of standing.. For the first time on these 'deluxe' versions, 'Trouble' feels out of place to me. It really doesn't sound as a late 70's song like the rest of Tattoo You.
Following the River, Scarlett, No Spare Parts.. They all sounded like real leftovers from that era. This really sounds like a modern Stones song. Which still is nice, but.. well.. weird on a 1981 re-issue.

A re-release adding outtakes from an album that was itself just mostly outtakes
It was entirely outtakes.
Apparently Neighbours was the only 'new' song on it.
Backing tracks are from 1979.

if I recall correctly FTR was built on an instrumental piano track recorded by Nicky Hopkins in the south of France in 1971, so in this sense its inclusion in the reissue is completely legit

I don't know if this has been said above but THIS is the album on which Scarlet should have rightly been released, not on GHS (on whose '72 sessions it never featured).
On GHS re- issue we could have had early Tops and Waiting on A Friend and certainly Through the Lonely Nights

Hmm.. I listened "Following The River" first time for years. Works for me still. Love the video as well.
I also looked the Rene's Track talk maumau gave a link. Seemingly generally a pretty negative reception there, expect a few swimming against the main stream (including me).
Of its origin, I lean on Dandie's suggestion (there) that all there originally was was Nicky and Keith - Nellcote or not, but from that era (musically it more fits to 'melanchonic', 'hang-over -like' GHS sessions than to EXILE ones). All the rest was done recently, including drums (2009?).
But back to topic (TATTOO YOU deluxe) - what was the third tune they are going to release before the album (I've forgotten that one)?

I don't recall, but Let's Go Steady has been officially released now - by Chris Kimsey's wife: [open.spotify.com]

The third track is "Come to the Ball", slated for release on 22/10, like the album. The only unknown track of the collection, although chances we know it under another title or as a backing track.
Potential candidates :
- Dancing Girls : ball/dancing theme and a good "summary" of the many Munich Hilton/Brown Leaves/Golden Caddy variations on a theme.
- Come on Sugar : hopefully not as that would likely rule out a B&B Deluxe in the future.

It's one of the handful of tracks Kimsey dug out for possible use as Voodoo Lounge single b-sides, but only So Young made the grade back in the early 90's.

That's interessting! I'm not sure if he played any of those instruments on the final take, though. If so, he learned to mimick the others to an extent I never thought was possible
Not sure if this is Keith on piano, either. Doesn't sound like him, does it?

Are you wandering whether he plays sax?
I admit, that surprises me. I can't recall any other examples of his playing sax.
