Supposedly "lost" studio mix made during IORR/GOATS HEAD SOUP sessions, never released. Anyone know more about this beautifully arranged and mixed studio recording?

A "reviewer" for Amazon had this to say:

The sessions for It's Only Rock 'n' Roll ran over a long period of time, starting Nov 13-24, 1973 at Musicland Studios in Munich and running from Jan 14-28, 1974. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (the song) was overdubbed and mixed and Fingerprint file and Luxury were cut at Mick's house (Stargroves) near Newbury from the Rolling Stones Mobile on April 10-15, 1974, and final mixing was done May 20-25 at Island Studios in London. Two songs were recorded that did not appear on the album, Through The Lonely Nights (which was released as the B side of the single It's Only Rock 'n' Roll) and Black Limousine (which was released on the album Tattoo You in 1981). The Stones also recorded two songs that have not been released, Drift Away and Living In The Heart Of Love. The album also included one song (Short And Curlies) from the Goat's Head Soup sessions in Nov and Dec of 1972 in Jamaica.

I googled it and found conflicting info on who plays on the song. Any info would be welcome/

Martin Elliot states that Nicky Hopkins is on this one

I don't know, I didn't dl...
First version available on Lonely At The Top.
Second version available on Stattic In The Attic.

I think you meant Acetates, Mitch.
Somebody here mentioned a 3rd version Drift Away, I can't say that I've heard that one. Somebody knows where to find it ?

Yes, of course. Thanks for correcting.

This version sounds pretty polished to my ears. I d/l'ed it from napster-of all places-around 5-6 years ago. Anyone know which version this is, or have a link to "Living In The Heart Of Love"?
