Ditto. Figured that new boot was just a speed corrected version of the common circulating tape.

Hi!I've got some more ideas about the recording dates.... (Near HTW sessions make no senses) The Band are in Sunset Sound Studios (Los Angeles), from 17th to 26th in October) working with tapes from Olympic Sound Studios (London) probably from April Sessions. After that (from October 28th to Novert 1st), There is a rehearsal sessions in stephen stills' basement. And just after that (November 2nd - 5th) they are in Warner Bros Studios for tour rehearsals. NICO ZENTGRAF wrote about a Let It Bleed take from those sessions... And I Think that it is the instrumental version we now have in the ABKCO extended copyrights package. I also think that Sympathy For The Devil, Stray Cat Blues, Ruby Tuesday, & Midnight Rambler are also from the Warner Bros Tour Rehearsals Sessions. Since all those tapes were probably kept in the same box that was used for the Sunset Sound Studios sessions somewhere in Los Angeles! Somebody finaly opened-up the treasure chest for us! (God Bless Him) So, that's enough thinking for me... I'm back to the music!

BlueRanger thanks to him has shared a YT link in the Tell Me section where one can find some absolute new versions of live tracks and studios tracks. Check 69RSTrax on YT to see them all while available.
Meanwhile, I've downloaded each track from the Studios I could.
I used VideoDownloadCapture to download from YT
Then I convert the tracks using DbPoweramp.
Please note that ABKCO has included a beep into each tracks for some copyrights reasons, but it's quite listenable, maybe a well known Captain can do something.
Here's the list I have so far, maybe there is more...
Listed on YT as April 1969 sessions
01 Ruby Tuesday (Alternate Version)
02 You Got The Silver (Mick Jagger on Lead Vocal)
03 Midnight Rambler (Instrumental)
04 Love In Vain (Alternate Version)
05 Wild Horses (With Strings and Glass Harmonica)
06 Honky Tonk Women (Alternate Lyrics Version)
07 Let It Bleed (Instrumental)
08 Sister Morphine (Early Version)
09 Gimme Shelter (Early Version)
10 Honky Tonk Women (Country Rock Instrumental)
11 Sympathy for the Devil (Olympic Sound Studios April 1969 with Vocals)

Some notes I've taken down about the possible recording dates for some of these tracks:
"Wild Horses" must be from late 1970 (although this version still has the earlier vocal take). These are most likely string arrangements by Paul Buckmaster who also arranged the strings on "Sway and "Moonlight Mile."

Thanks for uploading Honest Man. Unfortunately there was still the horrible beeping noise on this version. Did I do something wrong?

Huh... then why did they rehearse it under its fast/BB arrangement while they were going to play it in a slow new arrangement?

All indications that these are studio takes, not soundstage tour rehearsals.

I have to wonder if the actual tape boxes literally got mixed up and jumbled together, as the band worked on things, and moved from place to place, over the many many years. It's so baffling. Back on the Exile deluxe set, "Title 9" was clearly not Exile-related, it was much earlier track, and now "Gimme Shelter" with what's pretty clearly Ron Wood on guitar, shows up somehow on Let It Bleed outtakes. What a mess. I'm really scratching my head trying to figure this stuff out.

Having only listened to that version of Ruby Tuesday a couple of times - why can't it be a 1966 outtake? I have read here that some said, "well it is Nicky Hopkins" so it can't be 1966...
Is it Nicky Hopkins? Could be - but it is not definitive...Why can't it be Jack Nitzsche? I have been listening to the YCAGWYW session - and Nitzsche's piano there is not entirely dissimilar.
There is no way this is from 1969. I say late 1966 RCA sessions which has been misfiled - just like how a Satanic Majesties outtake ended up on Exile Deluxe - etc etc - as we know the Stones archive is in a sorry state.
But anyway, I want to know what conclusive evidence says that RT is not from 1966. I remain to be convinced.

Surely Ruby Tuesday, Stray Cat Blues and Sympathy are not from 1969. These all sound like early versions from their corresponding album sessions.
They have the spring 1969 sound and feel. The playing, singing and guitars, piano and drum sounds all fit.
Really? To me "Stray Cat Blues" does have an "early 1968" feel. If you've gotten the huge upgrade of the "surrey Rehearsals" material posted this year you'llknow what I mean : same raw sound same dirty vibe.
same for RT : Jagger has a juvenile voice here that would place the track late 1966. That voice isn't the one of someone who sings "Monkey Man" = it's not from 69 (imo).

Why would they be recording those songs in 1969 Majesty??
Stray Cat Blues is clearly an early instrumental from March 1968. Keith is playing the same guitar that's on the finished track.
At the end of Sympathy, you can hear Jimmy Miller say, "that was very good," with Mick replying, "was it?" Showing that they had done a good take of the song and it was a work in progress. That's clearly from June 1968.
Ruby Tuesday is a mystery to me but I don't believe for one second it's from 1969. Just because the ABKCO YouTube post says 1969 does not mean it actually came from 1969. I mean hell, they posted what they claimed to be an early version of Gimme Shelter but it's from frickin' 1978!!!!!!!!!!!
