UNDERCOVER SESSIONS
Presentation, objectives and thanks:
An attempt to compile all UNDERCOVER sessions that are in circulation and to rework them

This project was initiated in April/May 2019. In this period parts of the Art Collins Tapes (tapes from the estate of Art Collins, a former executive of Rolling Stones Records) came in circulation on The Outsider Bird Records ‘Bird's Vault’-series and also on DAC.
Fiddling with them around at first, I noticed that most of them had speed problems. First I started with the tracks that also appear on official albums, making synchronization mixes to find out the correct speed. Lots of the files from the Undercover sessions on the Art Collins Tapes (a/k/a ACT) needed to be decelerated by -3,863%, sometimes they were already decelerated on the published bootlegs… but not always in the correct speed.
So I started with OBR, then the DAC ones. Later I decided to make a compilation of all the circulating material from the Undercover sessions. At last I decided to put all the « circulated » versions in front of my reworked versions so you can make your own idea and delete what you don’t like…
Recently (March 2020) Mr D. decided to put the whole of the ACT in circulation. So I had to check them all to see what is newly circulating to be added to this compilation (in fact not too much except for the « Too Much Blood » variations)

I decided to post it in 7 parts, with for each volume the first CD containing only the untouched versions and the second my DIY. I left the many versions of "Too Much Blood" on the last two CD’s without reworking them: they form the 8th volume: a total of 16CD’s!
For this compilation I did not keep the versions that were used for official releases (b-sides, dub versions ...)
I used Nico Zentgraf's Rolling Stones Complete Works Database a lot: [www.nzentgraf.de] of which I tried to respect the chronology and the order of the proposed versions. It was not always easy to spot the different versions; the result is not perfect and surely criticizable. I was able to make (I certainly do!) errors ... I thank you in advance for helping me to rectify them. Don’t forget all this is done for pleasure and passion....
I also used the Rolling Stones Bootleg Database: [www.dbboots.com]
I thank them warmly and also my partners in crime, Jaap and nzb, for their advice and revisions!
