Hairball
Drift Away ranks down there with their worst covers ever imo.
I remember thinking that at least it sounded complete. It didn't have the old Stones cover magic, but it wasn't bad. Of course it doesn't sound like the Stones. It sounds more like a Mick Jagger solo cut.
I always liked the song, had it for years on bootleg. I probably would have liked to have seen this on It's Only R'n'R than Ain't Too Proud To Beg.

my favorite of all the sets and to my ears the most cohesive
listen to it far more often then the other deluxe discs
well at least the vinyl
the cd yikes!
and as for scraping the bottom of the barrel
mick sure seemed to have left a lot of great outtakes from the some girls and emotional rescue sessions
jah is not dead, linda lu, munich hilton, misty roads, everlasting is my love, gangster's moll, what's the matter, dancing girls, los trios guitaros, up against the wall, guitar lesson, schoolboy blues, knee trembler, my last plea, what gives you the right, your angel steps out of heaven, not the way to go
and that's just off the top of my head
i can imagine that mick must be saving these for some purpose
maybe the much requested (here at least) deluxe emotional rescue or a box set with the other outtakes from the 80's
then if they can ever work a deal out with abcko i'm sure that many of those albums could get the deluxe treatment
at least beggars (though the idea of 80 year old mick adding vocal over dubs onto outtakes from 1968 gives me a bit of pause)

Indeed, the most disappointing new-material-disc, so far. And that horrible Drift Away....
Meanwhile the Exile disc had some stinkers, it had some excellent ones as well.
But it also goes to show that the best we can hope for now is some 1970s live shows. And that would be terrific, Brussels Affair, Chalk Farms Roundhouse, Leeds 71 in stereo, LA Friday...phew those are all played many times over here. And they have so much to chose from
Still, I never could understand why I Need You was on any of their releases. And that was alllready finished, didn't need any overdubbing.
Travelling Man is excellent too, allthough it needs some serious editing.

Tattoo You is my favourite of the bonus tracks too. Then Some Girls, Exile, GHS and finally Sticky Fingers - that one was a waste of time - no 'new' songs a bunch of live versions of songs not even on Sticky Fingers!

More like one complete live show (Leeds) and selected live cuts from the Roundhouse. Excellent stuff, imo.

I think it is a very good album. to me it is fun, fun, fun.
Not as good as TY, but very near.
And I like the live recordings from London very much. Lots of energy!
It's been polished right up. The early rough versions never sounded like that.Quote

How much do you think the "reggea" start me up is real and how much post production?
I haven't dissected yet but there are many details that sound so similar to the final version, that it is hard to believe that this was the very early version of the song- In particular if compared to other early versions of well known songs-

Because why? They don't swallow everything their favorite band of all time puts out? Because they're critical of some things, and praise others? Like reality?
