Can't the acoustic guitar be heard pretty well in the "birthday" version? Would have to dig it out...

I do remember that this version of Brown Sugar sounds a lot different that what finally was released and was very cool! Mick didn't play the whole song.

There is an acoustic Brown Sugar that sounds totally different. I've heard it but the person wouldn't allow copies to be made. The story goes that Mick came up with Brown Sugar when he was in Australia making the Ned Kelly movie. The very early acoustic recording that we're talking about was play on acoustic guitar and sung by Mick. Mick was playing the song for Ike Turner back stage in 1969. There has been footage of the Stones back stage in 1969 with Ike and Tina Turner but the sound was not available as far as I know. I'm not sure if Mick playing Brown Sugar on acoustic in an early stage of the song was in the footage released.
