                Oh for the love of Christ, Mick! Stop fucking messing with the classics.

                When I heard that the "original reggae demo" of Start Me Up was going to be included in the new Tattoo You remaster, I thought it was great news. Most versions of this on bootlegs are either muddy, at the wrong speed, have skips in the track (apparently ripped from bad vinyl??) or sometimes all three. It really deserved a proper release in it's original form.

                This is NOT that......



                If you strain your ears hard enough, you can hear Keef's original track from the demo in the background. But they overdubbed another Keef track on top of it. Plus Woody, including a solo that's very much like the one he plays live.... which was never part of the original demo. Charlie's drums sound like they were cut & pasted from the 1981 released version of the song. And of course, Mick had to record a vocal as his current 78 year old self, completely burying the original 1975 vocals.

                This is the biggest mistake since they erased the original "drunk off their ass" vocals from "You Win Again" on the Some Girls deluxe remaster.

                  Thankfully, they left the overdubs to a minimum on this one. Sounds like some acoustic guitar added in. Maybe Mick sang some background vocals to himself on the chorus, but left the lead as it was. Still don't know why this wasn't released at the time they originally recorded it. Best version of the song ever recorded. Uncle Cracker my ass.......

                    Oh shit... here we go again....

                    Always wondered why they left this one in the vault. Mick was high as fuck when he recorded the original version, but his emotional delivery - in the original - fit the song perfectly.

                    The new vocals by Grandpa Mick? Not so much. But the rest of the song, vintage Mick Taylor era Stones, of course...

                        Reading the descriptions of the additions to the new "super deluxe" edition of Tattoo You...it's just, ugh. I suppose for diehard fans of the band every single bit of audio is some golden nugget, but more often than not with any of these deluxe versions from any group, to my ears that unreleased stuff was unreleased for the simple reason that it wasn't good enough the first time around.

                              Well I overpaid for some lousy seats in Seattle to see Mick, Kieth and Charlie one last time before they died. Time waits for no one.
