Killer groove on this. You can hear how the maracas add so much. When I first heard the drums isolated I was like "is that Jimmy Miller?!?" They sound so crisp. I've often thought they were the best drums sonically speaking on the album. Also, listen at 10:01 and tell me that isn't Mick Taylor; maybe from a different track that's been mixed out. It even overlaps th

Quotestoneskid Does anyone konw when this was released? Who leaked it? Is there a lossless version of this floating around? Retired Dog said more tape exists and this is only a fraction of it. I believe he said somebody from the studio has the tapes and let go of part of it for whatever reason. Not sure about your other questions.

Really cool to hear these older songs like Prodigal Son and Play with Fire (which I used to cover myself) Jagger sounds great I like this version of Gimme Shelter more than the Wood/Preston era. They could never top 1972 so hearing Richards take the lead again makes so much sense to me.

QuoteMathijs QuoteTravelinMan I’m not sure if you’re referring to overdubs as post production or not. I don’t see them re-amping much in 1973-74. Maybe they tracked through an amp and ran an Aux to the Hi-Fli after the fact, but that just doesn’t seem like the way they worked back then. I tend to believe they tracked through the Hi-Fli either during basic tracking or overdubs. They didn’t mix t

QuoteGasLightStreet When the solo takes off, Taylor's gotta be on a Les Paul humbucker pickup, that's why it's so rounded and fat sounding. No wah, no phase, it's just really hot, the notes push themselves with the sustain. If he did use a wah he set it. Amazing depth in this song, the acoustic punchy yet warm, and very high in the mix; the wah-rhythm guitar, the other

Quotemaidenlane Thanks TravelinMan and others, I have now watched Octivider videos on YT explaining how the effect works. Someone commented that Jimmy Page used one in the early 70s and maybe that is what inspired the speculation about the TTLN solo (along with the Scarlet session rumors). It is probably impossible to assess how much the choice of tone/effect adds to a solo, but it's clea
