I would take a Tattoo You approach to transforming this album - a rockin' side and a softer side.
1. Criss Cross - Baffles the hell out of me to this day that Mick and/or Keith thought Mr. D worthy of opening the album...
2. All The Rage - Probably the weakest of the new releases but Mr. D and Can You Hear The Music are abominations...
3. Star Star- This has always been a song in need of a fig leaf - let's hide it in the middle of the first side...
4. Hide Your Love (Alternate version)- Wow. This and Mr. D were always my first cuts when doctoring this record but the new version is magnificent - highlight of the record...
5. Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) - Could've ditched the doo doos but kept the parenthesis by retitling this Heartbreaker (Black Lives Matter)...
6. Scarlet - My favorite of the new releases even though it drips blood in a few places - that chorus and Jagger's breathy delivery gives me chicken skin...
7. 100 Years Ago - Piano version of course but with Taylor’s solo etc. tacked on at the end)
8. Angie - no comments needed for these last three classic ballads...
9. Coming Down Again
10. Winter

While Coming Down Again sounds like what it is - a junkie ballad from a guy too wasted to care, people who matter (the Stones) deemed it worthy to be on GHS back when. I wish they had put Chris Cross Man on GHS instead of CDA, but they didn't ask me. (Imagine that?)
As for All the Rage, it's no more a GHS song that the Exile "remake" trax like Plundered and Dancing in the Light and Follow the River. It's Mick Jagger solo overdubbing on studio instrumental pieces from 1972-1973. Sorry, not the Stones of 1972-1973 taking the idea into song-hood. Listen to Mick's vox for ggodness sake. Does it even sound like him in 1973? No. All the Rage is a fun ditty, but, despite its commercial-move inclusion by Mick in the GHS Deluxe, I won't desecrate GHS by even associating it with the LP. Has anyone heard the instrumental of it?

To me "Coming Down Again" is one of the three best Stones songs ever that feature Keith as vocalist.

As such "Coming Down Again" is the key song to all that GOATS HEAD SOUP embodies.

Too wasted to care? I hear a heartfelt performance - a beautiful song.
