Re: What are you listening to this very second!

see my post on the Bit Torrent thread on Rocks Off a day or so ago
It's 78 minutes of early mixes that I downloaded as mp3's off soulseek at the weekend.
Most of the 18 ABB songs are featured (apart from LIND, RJ, Infamy, LWTCDI and Rain Fall Down) with some songs (Let me Down slow, we dont wanna go home) appearing up to 3 times. The versions are the same TAKES that appear on the album, but the mixes are different. Sound quality is excellent
I dont have the fine ear for subtle differences that many others have, so to me several of them SOUND pretty similar, although I'm sure there are some differences (SOL to me sounds like the guitars are mixed slightly higher in this version).
The most noticeable thing though is that some songs are longer than the versions released on ABB. 'Biggest Mistake' in particular has been slightly edited at least five times prior to release and Jagger does a bit more 'ad lib' singing towards the end, and the guitar solo in 'Dangerous Beauty' and the fade out are both longer. I'm sure there are others but this is the first time I've listened to it the whole way through.
