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: [

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
