To get a clue about some mysterious songs in this collection, I' ve started this thread. Forgive me, if you are not interested.

Listening to circulating versions and using Nico's website and your help, these are my thoughts about the sources. Please tell me, if you think I'm wrong or if someone got better infos.

I try to keep this up to date for while, so there will be a lot of edits in this post.

Don't Lie To Me is clearly from a recent source. Sounds almost "Blue & Lonesome" to me.

Here's my guess for some:

20 Nil
A Bigger Bang sessions 2004 -> drums sound like on ABB

Dream About
A Bigger Bang sessions 2004 -> Mick's demo -> maybe an embryonic of Streets of Love

Sanctuary
Voodoo Lounge sessions 1994 -> grown version of some of the Zulu fun mixes?

Desperate Man
Bridges to Babylon 1997 -> trebly sound like BtB, also drums and Keith's licks on the blonde Tele sound 100% like BtB tracks

Praire Love
Bridges to Babylon or A Bigger Bang sessions?

The snare sound might be helpful to organize this mess

This should be sticky on Tell Me.
This is a task for swarm intelligence!

I first posted this in another thread, but to get a clue about some mysterious songs, I' ve started this as a new theme. Forgive me, if you are not interested.

Listening to circulating versions and using Nico's Website, these are my thoughts about the sources. Please tell me, if you think I'm wrong.



08- She's Doing Her Thing
She's Doing Her Thing
19671002-05 Olympic Sound Studios and De Lane Lea Studio

The vocal, organ and additional guitar are most definitely not from the 60's, but from late 70's or 80's.

You're right and that also happened to a lot of other tracks on this 3-cd set. But I left it, where I found some information. The guitar-hero versions of SCB, SFTD and GS for example are also mixed later, but it's hard to find a later source for this. Of course, nothing is carved in granite, any other source info is welcome. Thanks for your info.

Don't lie to me probably from Oct. 20 1987 with Jeff Beck, see Nico Zentgraf.

Thank you!

Thanks for starting this! It's truly such an amazing collection, I hope we can clear up what the heck we're listening to LOL.

What about Trouble's a Coming??!
On which sessions they recorded it?

"03- Dreams to Remember"

Herr Zentgraf has an entry for this song title linked to the Nov.82 UC sessions.
To me it's in fact a cover of the Otis Redding tune "I've Got Dreams to Remember".

"04- Don't Lie to Me
1987-10-20 Country Club"
Really? With Jeff Beck on lead guitar? I hear none of the farting sounds... sorry guitar pyrotechnics Beck is famous for. There's no whammy bar wanking on that recording. Therefore I doubt it's from 1987.

This is almost the exact same song as "Break Away" from the Emotional Rescue sessions. Most likely a different take but if you listen to the muffled vocals on this version you can make out Mick singing "Trouble's A Coming."

[www.youtube.com]

WALK WITH ME WENDY sounded like early 70ies late 60ies!

Cd1tr13 "Stop That" has more complete lyrics than the 3 previous versions plus it includes a pedal-steel track by Ron.

So I'd name it "Stop That IV".

I'm with you, I also named it version IV

The drums sound in Dream About is very much like one in Flip The Switch

Their sound on Bridges To Babylon is miles better or more beatiful then on A Bigger Bang. Every part sounds full: drums, bass, the guitar by Keith (on fire like on Mixed Emotions), full force.

23- Hands Off
Get Your Hands Off - version III, more finished version (source unsure)
19930709-1211 Windmill Lane Recording & RW's House, Dublin

In my archive (and on Voodoo Brew and D. Hoffmann´s recording index)
the instrumental is named It´s Alright - lasting 4 minutes.
So this one must be called It´s Alright II.

Quote
BlueTurns2Grey

17- Part of the Night
19821111-1219 Pathe Marconi Studios, Paris

The instrumental versions are Golden Caddy III and IV.
There´s even one shorter vocal version V, similar to this new one.
So this one is either Golden Caddy VI or the whole track
history must be renamed Part Of The Night I - VI.

Thanks, you are right. This is a newer version of 'It's Alright'. Voodoo Brew has an off mike vocal version and of course, 'Part Of The Night' is 'Colden Caddy' with vocals

Yep, which makes it possible to place "Desperate Man" as a B2B outtake since it sounds like ASMB or AOM. As a side note the sound was great on the 1997 tour too,even in a huge stadium like the Oakland Colisseum, much better than in 1995 or 2002 or ever again, I suppose the stars had aligned !

There´s a Crazy Mama and Tumbling Dice touch
in parts of Trouble´s A-Coming. To my ears

regarding Walk With Me Wendy

My guess: The snare sound is pretty much Kingston 1972
or London 1973 for Goats Head Soup, with Mick Taylor
and Nicky Hopkins.

20 Nil gets my ABB session vote.

Prairie Love gets my BtB session vote.
The Gun Face similarity is there (song and drumsound wise).

Everytime I Break Her Heart sound very much like an Undercover session outtake to me. Very confident about this.

Linked from LIST/POST - Rarest of the Studio Outtakes and History of Leaks (as of 03/2021) [iorr.org] - so please keep the first post updated (maybe also put the title of the Boot for easier reference) !

It seems you're putting NZB's "official" dates ?

Here are some guesses for the missing tracks :

11- 20 Nil
20 Nil
1996 - NYC Pre-production of B2B
Note : Early Version of "Low Down" ?

15- Walk With Me Wendy
Walk With Me Wendy
1969
Note : similar to "Travellin' Man" and "I'm Going Down

20- I Can't See No One Else
I Can't See No One Else
19850405-0617 Pathe Marconi Studios, Paris
Note : In entry 850405B on NZB's site

32- Dream About
Dream About
?
Note : I can see where henrik87 gets "A Bigger Bang sessions 2004 * -> Mick's demo -> maybe an embryonic of Streets of Love" but the vocal sounds like Mick 1986/1987 too...

34- Sanctuary
Sanctuary
?

35- Desperate Man
Desperate Man
1997
Note : production and instrumentation reminiscent of ASMB and AOM

36- Prairie Love
Prairie Love
2004 *
Note : sounds like an early version of "Rain Fall Down"

* the problem with 2004 is that it's "said" [iorr.org] that this collection "has" to be from sessions prior to 2002 (reason not disclosed)

Thanks. I just try to collect the most useful info for this wonderful 3CD-set. I hope we'll get most of the dates together.
