i know i could probaly find this out somewhere but in light of recent leaks i thought it prudent to ask this now
has anyone heard of anybody who has uncirculated outtakes or have them but can't share them themselves i'm not looking to get anybody in trouble but if someone did and maybe they could clarify quality, how many, or what they are that be really cool and i'm sure a lot of people on here would be very grateful

Already in circulation: Ocean Way Recording Studios, Los Angeles, 6-Jun-2005 - [dbboots.com] .

Have a look at SODD 021 :

And here's the story for the circulating "alternate versions" (no "real" outtakes, as in unused songs) :

Posted by Gazza here [iorr.org]

"The ABB alternate mixes sessions that came out a couple of years ago circulated via myself after I got them from a guy on a filesharing site (soulseek, to be precise). He'd just uploaded them and told me how he'd come across them - he worked at a storage facility in New York which shared the same computer that was used by the people at Sterling Sound who had mastered the album. He just happened to be browsing the computer and saw a file marked 'Rolling Stones' and made a copy of what was there.

He didnt actually realise that the recordings had never circulated. Unfortunately, they only exist in mp3 format because his hard drive crashed and he'd lost the original files - fortunately he had made mp3 copies."

So, NO, there are no known unused songs recorded during these sessions, probably the only Stones album like that...but there have to be some ;-)

i know about and have the slightly alternate mixes but was asking more about any rumored rough takes and unreleased unfinished songs from the sessions the recent leaks some of which included stuff from the licks session which i suppose could be considered the early bang sessions renewed my hope that previosly unknown stuff from these sessions may show up or at least some new info about them
bigger bang and my moms childhood copys of between the buttons and flowers were what got me hooked on the stones (i know wierd combo but it worked) and would love to hear more from the development of this album that i really love (except of course streets of love ew)

oh and thank you gotablouse i didn't know that was interesting to find out

The only known outtakes are Don't Wanna Go Home and Under The Radar. They were officially released on "A Bigger Bang (Special Edition)" - on the bonus DVD. Never officially released again.

Here : [www.discogs.com]

There's also an instrumental version of Biggest Mistake, only available on a promo CD single [www.discogs.com]

And the usual dance remixes (Rain Fall Down - will.i.am Remix & Ashley Beedle’s remix).

oh well thought i'd try thanks for all the info better luck next big leak

For a good gut laugh check da Dust Bros Babylon stories
in the bonus section of Disc-5 of the Just For The Record DVD set .....

Great insight into the recording of Bridges ..... The Dust Bros
give esp HIGH praise to Mick but have a battle remembering bass
players and neighbours...hhhhhaaa and say that although there
was a Mick & Keith camp everybody got along fine but do admit there
were some juicy stories that they just cant tell ….

Their Keith studio story is a screeeeeeeeeem …

I think it was Don Was who said at the time the album came out that they released every song that they recorded.

Which is highly likely as they didnt really record this album as a band (Woody pretty much added most/all of his parts after his spell in rehab and Charlie missed some of the early stages as he was getting radiotherapy)

In a way the songs on A Bigger Bang already sound like fully finished studio outtakes

Yeah for some reason they didn't really "produce" them properly, was it Keith who wanted it like that when Mick was in favor of going into a "real studio" (the tracks where mostly recorded at his home in France) and presumably rerecord them with outside producers and musicians, something that had worked rather well on B2B ? Might have made for more inspired playing and therefore more repeat listening, like what Waddy did on "Saint of Me" or Benmont Tench on "Already Over Me", etc...
