Hi Group,

I was cleaning through some old stuff yesterday and came across an old cassette tape of outtakes from 'Tattoo You.'

There was a really clear sounding outtake of "Start Me Up" which is much better than the version on 'Tattoo Too.' This is the version with background vocals but different vocals by Mick and a different mix on the guitars.

If anyone has a good MP3 or flac of this outtake, I'd really appreciate it.

Best,
Steve

There is at least 4 different versions of this song.

Mitch is right,
There is the "reggae" version aka Never Stop from the Balck and Blue sessions and there are 3+ version from the Paris 77-79 sessions.

If you want them all, I'll post what I have

Hi Cafaro,

Thanks for the reply.

As far as the four versions, I believe there are 2 reggae versions, 1 other version w/no background vocals and a 4th with all vocals but different lead vocal by Mick.

It's this 4th version I'm looking for (in good quality, of course).
If you could post it, I'd really appreciate it!


Thanks,
Steve

So does anyone have the alleged three "rock" version outtakes of SMU?


I don't mean to be a beggar so here's a great live, soundboard version of 'Little T & A' from the last tour:

Rolling On,

Thanks so very much, and if you do unearth any more versions, I'd love to hear them!


Anyways, here are a couple of cover versions of "Flight 505" for anyone interested...

Hey Rollin,
Did you post the "Never Stop" reggae version?

If not..here it is.

Thanks Cafaro!

I' ve checked it and yours is the same as mine 'Start me up #1'.

But thank you for it.

I have found 2 more but the last one is not a real outtake. It' s from the remasterd CD by Sister Morphine 'Tattoo'd'
About the first one I can' t really say much. Maybe I have posted it here before but I have to be a little bit quite tonight, so I can' t hear it very loud and clear to check it (don' t have any earphones)

1. Start me up (from 'Tattoo you sessions')

2. Start me up (from 'Tattoo'd' - Sister Morphine remaster)

Rolling On,

Wow, that remaster of "Start Me Up" from 'Tattoo'd' is fantastic. Do you know what other tracks are on that Sister Morphine release?


Thanks again for all of the posts- let me know what you're looking for and I"ll see what I have.

Thanks again,
Steve

Here' s the artwork for it

Hi Rolling On,

Thanks again for that remastered version of "SMU" from that 'Tattoo'd' release. The sound is fantastic! Any way I could beg for "Hang Fire" as well? I still don't know why they haven't played it live since '82... Does ANYONE have an idea of why not?

Anyways, and as they say, for something completely different, here's "Feel Your Love Tonight" live 1998 by Van Halen on a radio broadcast:

Lastly, does anyone have "Start Me Up" from the MTV broadcast in '94 I believe it was???


Thanks to everyone for the great posts!!!

Spbetz, look at my new post 'Tattoo you sessions'. There are three different versions of 'Hang fire' available.

Just wondering if I could also get the remastered version of "Hang Fire" from the 'Tattoo'd' release....
