i probably mispoke (when i type these things at work, i am ususally in a rush) and the "demo" story or "unfinished version" is more likely what i had read. I think he said he wanted to add horns or he had a vision of the song with horns, but you are all right there is no horn version recorded by the stones.
I also thin it was satisfaction that Brian Jones HATED and would piss off the rest of the band by playing the "riff" to Popeye the Sailor man when doing it live, beasue he said they sounded the same (and noone could hear him over the screams anyway)
