REVIEW: |
This 3 discs
set from Mayflower proposes the Stones Steel Wheels sessions offering early
versions of many of the songs that appeared on the final album, including some
new ones, together with different mixes from which many boots have come over the
last years (Monitor Mixes etc.). This is not the only difference from many
other releases of these tracks, as the label has decided to group the songs
together. There is not much difference musically speaking from the finished
product as we all know, but for the unreleased tracks. Sound output is
excellent and there is great stereo separation which is evident in songs like the
opener Sad Sad Sad as well as amazing Charlie Watts drumming on tracks like Almost
Hear You Sigh (versions 3 and 4, because the 1st and 2nd
ones come from Keith Richards solo session and Track no.10 is a recent artificial
job that mixes together Jagger vocals on the left and Richards on the right
channel. Track 13 comes from the 25x5 video, as well as Hellhound On My Trail n
Disc Three; Cook Cook Blues is version 1 which was recorded in late 1982 during
the Undercover sessions and features Stu on piano. In fact, there is nothing
new on this release but collector may dig the fact that these outtakes are
presented in a nice sound, altogether.; well as a matter of fact something new is here, the final song, the instrumental version of Ready Yourself is longer than usual, due to some musical noises and dead air at the end of the track As for packaging this set has pretty standard
covers which are in accordance with the original Steel Wheels artwork.
