REVIEW:

We have here yet another work from StoneyRoad that is being released on silver disc this time the Emotional Rescue sessions that have been reworked; Discs One and Two present the album tracks, Discs Three and Four the RCA Sessions that have nothing to do with Emotional Rescue, Discs Five and Six sessions from Compass Point Studio 1979, Disc Seven Pathe Marconi sessions from 1979 and Disc Eight present tracks used later for Tattoo You, the fact being that after the release of Some Girls and Tattoo You Reworked this additional disc came out. Let’s now get into each disc, the first one starts with 6 versions of Dance, the first one is complete with count in, then follow 4 takes with early lyrics (the last two slower with different count ins) and finally from the Electric Lady Studios a mix of Dance Pt.1 and If I Was A Dancer; next there are 4 tales of Summer Romance, the first with count in then a more finished version, a version with different vocals but less guitar and piano and the version with finished lyrics and backing vocals. The disc ends with the first take of Send It To Me (over 6 minutes long) and Let Me Go, without sax.

Disc Two begins with 3 versions of Indian Girl the long one, the short one and one with different intro, followed by 5 version of Where The Boys Go, the first two with early lyrics, the third one just 33 seconds long is incomplete with more piano, then a long version one with piano intro and the last with different lead vocals. Next is Down In The Hole and Emotional Rescue long versions, followed by another version of the latter with more instruments and echo effects. This disc ends with All About You guide vocals by Keith Richards and Jagger on backing vocals and the early long version of She’s So Cold.

Disc Three features tracks from the 78 RCA sessions with many covers of songs by other artists (C.Berry, Rabon Tarrant, Willie Dixon) that have nothing to do with the E.Rescue Sessions as well as some tracks attempted by the Stones like the 2 versions of I’ll Let you Know, one with piano intro, the other with guitar intro, some instrumentals (Knee Trembler, Jimmy Reed Jam) and 6 tales of the latter writer’s My First Plea, the first without piano in the intro, then with piano, a slowed take, one that has comments in the end and two more.

Same topic for Disc Four that starts with 4 versions of Not The Way To Go (long version almost 10 minutes, an instrumental version with Ian McLagan organ upfront, a more worked take and the 3.42 minutes fully finished one); next are 4 covers: One Night, the famous tune by Dave Bartholomew with off mike vocals, Serious Love by Alvin Ranglin, The Harder They Come by Jimmy Cliff and Tallahassee Lassie by Freddy Cannon/Frank Slay/Bob Crewe. Then there are two versions of  F.Jacobson/F.Harris’ What Am I Living For, one with organ intro and the other with guitar intro, as well as 3 takes of What Gives You The Right: the first with pedal steel guitar actually from 1977, the 2nd with early lyrics and 3rd one with more finished lyrics; the disc ends with the cover of Jack Ripley’s Your Angel Steps Out Of Heaven.

Disc Five has the Compass Point sessions that begin with 2 Blues Jams, two takes of Trouble’s A Coming, the latter fully finished, Dancing Girls, the famous Gangster’s Moll and a fast instrumental called Guitar Lessons in 2 different mixes. Next, we have 4 takes of I Think I’m Going Mad, the first with no sax and some falsetto vocals, the second with sax intro but piano entering later, while on the third one earlier and the final take is a short one. What follow are 2 versions of It’s Cold Down There that close this disc, the fast uptempo first take instrumental is short, the second almost 4 minutes long. These sessions continue on Disc Six which shows more covers beginning with James Alexander’s Let’s Go Steady Again in 2 different mixes, the first with 2 guitars and the second with three; then 2 versions of Ray Sharpe’s Linda Lu, the second one shorter and rougher, although more complete. The famous Lonely At The Top is next presented in 2 different mixes and then Munich Hilton with vocals. Never Too Into It comes next followed by a Piano Instrumental allegedly by Nicky Hopkins with Ian Stewart on marimbas and a blues medley that features Lowell Fulson’s Reconsider Baby and Robert Johnson’ Sweet Home Chicago. Still In Love With You with Jagger singing in falsetto and the well known What’s The Matter end this disc. Disc Seven presents some other tracks from Pathe Marconi Studios Jan.- Oct.79 sessions starting with 3 versions of It’s A Lie, the first with harmonica, the second with drums intro and the third one fully finished, followed by the long Jah Is Not Dead that clocks in at 10.45. Three Unknown Jams close this disc, the first one also known as Stuck in the Cold, the second is a rocking instrumental and the third a funky one, both featuring Bobby Keys on sax., both around 9 minutes long.

As previously said the Eight Disc is devoted to tracks that will end on Tattoo You and starts with three versions of Hang Fire, the first without piano, the second with piano and the known chorus and the third with piano coming in later; next is the early version of Heaven followed by two talks of Little T&A, the first instrumental and the second with early lyrics. Then there is the first take of Neighbours and 5 takes of No Use In Crying a short and a long early versions, then a version with the organ coming in at 2.15 and edited version and the last one which has different vocals at the end. Three versions of We Had It All follow, the first without harmonica, the second with it and the third one a more worked take. A different take of Let’s Go Steady Again is the last track and it features three guitars. At the bottom of the booklet page there is a cryptic sentence that says that We Had It All was used for Some Girls De Luxe edition, that was version 4 that is not included here, as specified on the Some Girls Sessions vol. 4 (FP 080). This is nice box with great sounding outtakes and a decent booklet, despite the many grammarical errors.
