Compare the vocals to Old Habits Die Hard, especially the high notes. Sounds like the same era to me.

"Nobody´s Perfect" sounds like Mick´s
songwriting around Alfie.

Inspired by you guys, been listening closely to "Nobody's Perfect" but it is damn difficult to say anything specific of its origin. Had there not that note by Bill Wyman (in ROLLING WITH THE STONES) and the mention of it in a bootleg cover, I wouldn't have ever located it near to DIRTY WORK sessions. Yeah, for me it really sounds like this centurian Mick to me (phrasing, cliche-like a bit over-interpreting and empahasizing certain sounds and utterances), and melodicwise it really resembles ALFIE era. I can't recall Mick using that type of melody hooks so clearly earlier (although SHE'S THE BOSS already shows indication for that direction). Also lyrically it has a ALFIE 'mindset' (something we could also hear in some A BIGGER BANG things like "Biggest Mistake" and "Laugh I Nearly Died"). Soundwise probably there is a resemblance more to Mick's 80's solo albums (and probably GODDESS). That's not Charlie on drums for sure. Of the guitars I cannot really say - it has some typical Stones-like licks, which must be Ronnie.
Anyway, Mick really hasn't changed that much since the 80's, especially since SHE'S THE BOSS, so I think it could be very well, say, a left-over from SHE'S THE BOSS sessions Mick tried with the Stones during DIRTY WORK sessions (by the time Charlie was not around), which also fits to Bill's notes. History has shown that anomalies happen.
I like the tune, by the way. A nice, little compact thing. Well written, but probably lacking some distinguishness. Qualitywise equal to many things they - or he - have officially released. Not particularly better or worse.

I was able to load the tracks onto iTunes and burn CDs, but for some reason the tracks won’t load onto my iPod.

The iPod doesn't support FLAC by default. If your iTunes supports FLAC-files (due to an extension), then you can simply convert the FLAC-files via iTunes to ALAC (Apple Lossless) and copy them onto your iPod.
Since you have a Macbook, you could also use the X Lossless Decoder (XLD) and convert the FLAC-files to ALAC for the iPod.

I thought the files were in MP3 format.

Normally, the iPod plays MP3-files without issues. If iTunes can play it, the iPod can play it too (exception: 3rd-party solutions). Informations about the file-type can be found via right-click -> Get info -> File (or press Command-I, then choose File). Don't try it with force (or alcohol) ....

Who do you hear on the backing vocals on Sanctuary?
And am I the only one who loves this tune?

Yep it has a 'theme' about it...like the Alfie songs. Seems like another song for a movie.
There's no Keith on this.
No Charlie.
Dubious about any Ronnie on this also (although some parts sound RW-like)
Still feel the vocals are 85...but happy to be wrong.
Interesting...

The vocals on Nobody's Perfect are obviously from the 2000s. The guitars sound like 1977-79 to me.
You may have a lot of guitar strings but you don't have a clue about the music, you never did.

On first listening, I've pinpointed this track directly to Primitive Cool - due to the vocal delivery and the fact that any rough edges that would indicate any Stones involvement are missing. However, it's possible that this little thingy derives from the She's The Boss sessions, brought over to the Stones to see if it could be of use for Dirty Work, then after some tentative work (possibly including some licks from Ronnie) discarded, and then resurrected for Primitive Cool with finalized vocals by Mick, only to be discarded once again.
It was a short timespan anyway, and for that time period a certain crossover between solo and Stones work would represent not that of a huge anomality as it may appear now.

It certainly has the sound of PRIMITIVE COOL vocally. There are nuances that he does in Kow Tow. Seeing that it appears to be from the July - August RPM sessions in 1985 and is clearly Charlie on drums and Ronnie's dangle playing, and knowing how DIRTY WORK turned out, it didn't fit at all.
