Hold On To Your Hat

For Your Precious Love

These arent merely remixes of the released versions, but actual alternate takes, many of which are close to being final takes.

This is incredible stuff and IMO the best find in terms of outtakes since the Voodoo Lounge sessions that came out a decade ago. On first listen, I'd go as far to say it's even better. To be honest, I prefer the production and mix to the released album, even if a few of the vocals arent quite finished.

and wait til you hear the Stones long-lost cover of Jerry Butler's classic "For Your Precious Love". One of the most sssoulful recordings of their entire career and a serious contender for greatest outtake ever. Sensational stuff.

The torrent is listed under "RS Monitor Mixes". When youve downloaded it, please remember to keep seeding to help others finish their download too.

A huge thanks to bwaudby for sharing this recording with us

Gaz. Could I buy a copy from you or send you blanks or something??? It looks VERY interesting...

JumpingKentFlash

its terrific. Honestly. I'm blown away by how great it is. What I'm gonna do is 'tree' it on RO when I get back from the UK shows, so those without broadband or access to Bit Torrent can get it.

You'll hear this album in a new light after checking this out. great versions, and a more raw-edged sound than the relatively sterile production on the released album.

I wasn't aware of this, I'm amazed!
I better learn to download (and upload) then...I've been avoiding that untill now.
Thanks for the info!

The most exciting news since the age of internet, I'm shaking of excitement.
Thank you thank you thank you.

OK cool. I'll sign up for that tree. A shame I don't know how to use bit torrent, because I could get it TONIGHT if I knew how to. Well, anyhoo..... I'll wait....

JumpingKentFlash

Very cool - thanks Gazza!

I'll give it a try. Here goes nothing. Too bad I'm a computer idiot...

One word too many in that sentence, Kent ;-)

Grrrr. LOL. :-D
Let me get it straight: I need to upload something before I can download? And what if I have nothing to upload other than some boring stuff...?

JumpingKentFlash

Get yerself a download manager.
I recommend Azareus.
But if you want something lighter, take BitLord.
Just google'em & ya get them easily.
Then:

Go to [rollingstones.kicks-ass.org]
Save RS Monitor Mixes at your harddrive.
Right-click on it - download - voila!

Piece of cake, I promise ya!
(Alas I havent had the time to get' em but I sure will)

O, yeah, once ya have downloaded the Download Manager,
ya just right-click on the file "RS Monitor Mixes",
and choose "Download with... (e.g.) Azareus".

Seeding aint what ya do when ya make my family more numerous,
at least not here = it is just leaving the torrent open so that
others can gain while they try to torrent the same file.

Could you post 'For Your Precious Love' so we can download it?
Thanks!!

Altamont from Rocks Off has kindly uploaded For Your Precious Love to yousendit as an mp3

[www.yousendit.com]

Enjoy.

OK. I got BitLord. And I can see it on the BitLord screen. Question: How do I play it???

JumpingKentFlash

download FLAC frontend

However, download the mp3 on the yousendit link I just posted and you can hear it now

I need all of it. I have access to a CD burner right now....

Wow, that was great, thanks for uploading it. Very smooth vocal from Jagger, and the musical vibe reminded me a bit of Time Waits For No One.

It still won't play. I'm going nuts...

JumpingKentFlash

My torrent is running, thanks Gazza

Kent... Gamle dreng. Take it easy.
Just cool it, mon.
Sometimes it takes a little while for dem torrentin'
to start demselves up.
Give it some time.
Take a cold Danish beer; leave the computer,
leave the BitLord on... All of a sudden ya might have it started.

Me, I have a temporarily slow connection, because of a moved
computer/modem & sofar no wires in-between the main gate
for telephoning. But I have started it.

But can it really be true that I only have downloaded 3.3% so far???

JumpingKentFlash

And, yeah, what "Precious Love" concerns I have to agree with
good ol' Gazza... This is a masterpiecce in Otis heights...

Very smooth ballad. Why don't they release this kind of stuff?

Ok. i took the plunge and downloaded the software, and now im uploading the file. Size 509.80MB. So far: 17.66Mb, thats 3.2%.

I'll let you know in a couple of years what i thought of it!
