Good stuff, thanks !
The BG interview was particularly interesting.
I couldn't help but notice the question about SW :
"KD: Do you think the Steel Wheels album contained solo Stones recordings?
BG: Yes, "Almost Hear You Sigh" was from Keith's solo sessions (written with
Steve Jordan!), but he gave it to the Stones for Mick to sing."
An obvious answer but I'm surprised he hadn't heard of the Jagger/Rip recordings from 87/88...or maybe he isn't aware that Rip recently spilled the beans about them. Did you ask that question because of that recent revelation ?

Yes, Keith's solo recording is obvious, heard on outtakes. Steel Wheels was created immediately after the solo achievements of Mick and Keith. According to the stories of the Stones, they met in 1988 to agree on the details of work on the new album. Mick worked on his material and Keith recorded his album. However, I didn't know about Rip's story. I asked Bill about Stones solo achievements on the Steel Wheels album, because I read somewhere that the album includes recordings from solo sessions. I got an answer about Almost Hear You Sigh. And apparently, according to the new Record Collector magazine (January 2022), Sleeping Away comes from the Talk Is Cheap session. In the beginning, Mick and Keith recorded demo songs, and I think they must have picked up some ideas from the personal sessions (about Jagger / Rip songs, as you say). Therefore, Steel Wheels may be less well received.

Good job!
I'm hoping to publish my own book/(pamphlet? ) someday.
