With all the comparing taking place between the old bootleg run through and the new "enhanced" version we should also keep in mind that you simply can't have everything: With every decision that is made when refining a track for release you discard other options. That's just the way it goes. Another important factor is that we've got used to the old version over the c

I like it. I mean, he didn't overdo it. And no refining can better the melody, which I find a bit repetetive, missing a really strong refrain. It still sounds like an outtake, but it's great to have this rehashed version, at least sounding a little more finished than before.

The Beatles broke the ice. They paved the way for the Stones and all the British invasion groups to come. And they did it with their sweeping enthusiasm and their irresistible brand of brilliant pop songs. I really can't imagine there would've been room for a filthy looking band of Blues purists before the Beatles had burst onto the scene. And just placing the devil's advocate ques

Quoteoceanage I find this thread interesting. I actually purchased the original artwork which graces the "Backside" of Not for Beginners a few years ago. It actually is a pair of hands squeezing the back of a woman's behind. We love the piece as it is truly a conversation in itself when viewing. Long live rock n roll! It's really nice to see a three year old thread

An early highlight for me. Always reminds me of the German "Around And Around" LP (the moment I saw this new Track Talk anouncement, I even thought it was on that album for a moment). Great LP with the title track, I Wanna Be Your Man, It's All Over Now, You Better Move On etc. And a great, scruffy cover shot, that somehow fits this particular song (It's Not Easy).

I've been a big Woody Allen fan all through the 80s. But at some point after "Crimes and Misdemeanors" Allen lost the plot somehow. For most of the 90s and after he's been content to create ever new combinations of the same old topics and Woody Allen stereotypes. I mean, there are notable exceptions like "Wild Man Blues", but most of his later work like, say "Th

Quoteflilflam Not only do the four songs show good musicianship and harmonizing, but they also have a special quality. They are slow and haunting and mysterious. The lyrics are intelligent and reflective. I think these five songs are some of the best music the Stones have ever made. I would like to hear more of these unusual and unique songs on their next CD. Hopefully, there will be a few

I find that intro riff to be quite conventional, honestly. It's just the old Johnny B. Goode routine. Or did you mean the SOUND of it? It surely sounds good. But it's hardly original, just like the whole song - except maybe for the lyric.

I don't like it that much. Together with "Star Star" it's one of the first Stones-by-numbers tracks, an early sign of going through the motions. It's still fun, though. And I like the live version from Love You Live. There are even some strong renditions to be found among the shows from the Vegas era. What's interesting to me about this track is that it seems to b
