Here, as promised the last volume
.................................
TATTOO YOU early takes
Presentation, objectives and thanks:
After uploading the “Undercover”-sessions project, "Mick Stone" asked me to rework some “Tattoo You”- tracks
Because there weren't regular “Tattoo You”-sessions, as this album was created with reworking and finishing outtakes of previous albums, the idea was to collect all circulating versions of the tracks used for “Tattoo You”.
As for “Undercover” I did two versions: one with the untouched tracks and another one with my DIY ….always with the idea in mind that you can only keep what you prefer.

I decided to post this project in 5 volumes of two CD’s: the first CD of each volume containing the untouched versions and the second CD my DIY.
Vol 1: « Start Me Up » & « Hang Fire »
Vol 2: « Slave »
Vol 3: « Little T&A », « Black Limousine » & « Neighbours »
Vol 4: « Worried About You », « Heaven » & « Tops »
Vol 5: « No Use In Crying » & « Waiting On A Friend »

For this compilation I left out all the versions that were used for official releases.

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 to be criticized. It's possible that I made (I certainly did!) mistakes ... I thank you in advance for helping me to find and correct them. Don’t forget that 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!
Note: « ACT » refers to the Art Collins tapes and « RS » to « Tattoo Too » from Rattlesnake

Thank you Norbert

The last but not the least
Thank you for these five volumes.

Thank you!

Thanks again, this is a great project!

When I had no choice but to trust Bootleg, the sound sources were dissipated, and sometimes I was tired of duplication and pitch difference of the same sound source, generational difference of sources, etc. and gave up organizing.
Many tributes to this wonderful project Vol.1-5. Thank you.

Thanks again!

I have downloaded 2x and both times "51b - Waiting On A Friend #2a (reworked)" is silent. Has anyone else got this particular track to work?

Certainly in my file, 51b
