"The Rolling Stones" Thread

Holy Shit! I knew that "Angry" riff sounded familiar....

So who's the Monkees fan? Mick? Keef? Andrew Watt??

I hadn't heard this song in 30 years, so it never registered until I stumbled across it tonight. It's not a direct copy, but the guitar riff and drums ain't far off at all.

Happy 80th Birthday Keef!

Damned if I know what this video has to do with the Stones or even the song... but I guess it's a good thing that they made a video for at least one of the "Charlie" songs on the album....

It's like the 45 rpm record being played on 33 rpm mode.

I heard a new song on the radio - I presume it’s new because it sucked. Rolling Stones with Lady Gaga. Sounded like Jagger on auto-tune. Lady Gaga was the best part of the song. Missing Charlie’s undeniable drum tone.

The idiot producer buried the drums and put the guitar too loud.

FORD...

You seem to be a good source for this (and I thought...here's the perfect thread!):

I'm organizing some of my Stones outtakes and putting together a few outtake albums in my iTunes...

Do you have really good quality versions of a couple tracks I'm looking for?

For instance, do you have a GOOD-SOUNDING version of the GHS version of TOPS (not the TATTOO YOU version with the new vocals and such)? I like the more 70s vibe of the original version when I'm in the right frame-of-mind.

Do you have a GOOD-SOUNDING version of the SOME GIRLS-era outtake I NEED YOU? This is one of my favorite "lost" Stones song, but looking through my folders and boots, every version I have sounds kinda like shit.

Also, do you have a GOOD-SOUNDING version of the 60s outtake GET YOURSELF TOGETHER? This is a really great track that should have been on BETWEEN THE BUTTONS (or AFTERMATH).

And the archive releases continue.....

Sadly I don't have any good quality copies of any of these. The version of "Tops" with Mick's drunken falsetto is on dozens of bootlegs, but all in the same muddy sound quality, unfortunately. The last version of "I need you" that I posted in this thread a couple pages back was the best quality version I've heard, but I'm not sure which boot they got it from. None that I have, that's for sure. And I'm not sure if I have "Get yourself Together" at all.

I was hoping that there would be another round of good quality Stones boots leaking out, like the three disc set "Fully Furnished Outtakes" that came out a couple of years ago. To me, the "holy grail" would be the Some Girls album "master takes" in perfect studio sound quality.

Looks like they did a lot of deep cuts at the Wiltern show......

Understood.

Sounds like you have a lot of the same sources I do.

I did my own remaster of I NEED YOU a couple of years ago...but could only get it sounding SO good from the shitty source material that's leaked.

I was hoping I NEED YOU would be part of the FULLY-FINISHED OUTTAKES set (it not being on that set leads me to believe that they didn't even consider using it for the SOME GIRLS outtakes album they did a decade or so ago).

I'll post GET YOURSELF TOGETHER in a bit...maybe you won't agree with me...but it has that mid-60s garage rock sound that really works from that period. I really like BETWEEN THE BUTTONS...but it could have used a few more actual ROCK tracks like this one.

By the way, I agree with you: since we know the band seems to be done raiding the archives for SOME GIRLS outtake material (I was hoping for an EMOTIONAL RESCUE box set with unreleased songs, but I think that may be a tall order), a bootleg with those complete sessions in perfect quality would be the greatest Stones boot possibly ever. Those are easily the most prolific sessions the band ever had.

Here's a cleaner version (doesn't sound like an actual attempted mix).
