The big question about the Paris sessions must be ; was this a trial session to see if they could actually produce something together again or was it the final Stones session ? In the first case we should be very happy that they actually came up with 2 new songs, this is promising. Who knows ?

Here are the three Caravan songs I mentioned. One must listen to the whole piece to get the right impression.

Caravan is a typical album group and it's hard to pick out the best songs. The best albums are If I Could Do It Again,I'd Do It All Over You and In The Land Of Pink And Grey. If I should pick out songs, I would probably choose For Richard, Winter Wine and Nine Feet Underground. The same can be said about The Electric Prunes. Their most famous song is the hit I Had Too Much To Dream (

No.2 was the first Stones record I bought. So the very first Stones song I ever heard was the fantastic "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" in all it's 5:03 glory! It's a shame the Americans were deprived of this great version. I don't know if this version was released on the remastered CDs. Has it ever been available in the US?

I think I would start with the Definitive Collection if I were you. It includes some of their best stuff, like Big Black Dog which has some pretty good riffing and Live With Me which really builds up to its climax. If you prefer to go further from there, I don't think there is much quality difference between their first 6 albums As Safe as Yesterday Is/Town and country/Humble Pie/Rock on

Quoteloog droog So we can agree to disagree. I say the U.S. version is tighter and better sequenced. For me, an Aftermath without Out Of Time would be like a BB without Sympathy or a LIB without Gimme Shelter.
