Funny to see that Fraboni thinks the released version of Claudine sucks. Because it does! With the mention of it possibly for a compilation album perhaps they were considering it for SUCKING IN THE SEVENTIES.
How did he credit himself beyond his responsibilities with BRIDGES? I don't get that at all.

Yeah I agree! The 2nd one is much much better, the chorus reminds me of the last bridge (3rd) in Out Of Control where Charlie do that magic step-up.
It's pure Stones magic!

This one? First time I've heard it - never knew to look I guess.

The same writer published an interview with him in an international Rolling Stones fanzine in which he claimed to have produced more songs of BtB than he was officially credited for. It caused a major problem for him, to say the least.
The responsible writer wanted the owners of the magazine to withdraw the magazine from stores etc., but it was already too late. Besides it would have caused the (non commercial) fanzine a fortune which nobody felt responsible for.

Was that Sticky Fingers Magazine ? I used to have a subscription around that time but don't remember that at all. I was a bit surprised in the recent interview where he says “(Producer) Don Was asked me to use the mics and setup Keith and I used for the stuff that he was going to record,” - is that why he implied he did more production than he was credited with ?
BTW I got here after bumping into the recent interview by accident. The stories about Claudine and digging out "Start Me Up" were interesting. So it was STILL a reggae sounding song during the Some Girls sessions, probably the "Never Stop" we know, I never believed it came from the B&B sessions as has often been claimed.

That long version of 'Claudine' is simply unreleasable. A loose, incoherent 8 minute jam that goes nowhere being included on a 45-minute album? Its nice to have it on a bootleg but thats where it belongs.
The rockabilly version blows it away.

Exactly. It's clearly an unfinished, early try-out. Bootleg material, nice to have, but official release quality? No, absolutely not. If Fraboni actually meant this version as being "superior" to the released one, I have to seriously doubt his judgement.

There are probably more versions.
