REVIEW:

This release continues the series from Mayflower presenting the sessions the Stones had in 1965 and 1966 even if there is one track from previous year (1964). On Disc One we get the first I d Much Rather Be With The Boys without slide guitar at the end followed by the demo for the Toggery Five, Satisfaction and The Spider And The Fly backing tracks then we get Good Times II that the cover for mysterious reasons attributes to 9-07-63 (9 July 63 that was the day Fortune Teller was recorded while on 7 September 1963 there was no recording session) that has added backing vocals at the end, amongst which there is Christine Ohlman, added in the 70s followed by I ve Been Loving You (Too Long) without the added audience from Got Live If You Want It LP and My Girl with no strings in stereo. Then we are in Hollywood RCA Studios for the long December 65 session with two takes of 19th Nervous Breakdown, the second one being the outfake right channel one, Mother s Little Helper backing track at whose beginning we can hear Andrew Oldham counting, Goin Home that clocks in at 11.28 thanks to some studio talking at the beginning and Think with horns overdubbed at the end. From the same studio but in March 1966 there are 3 more backing tracks Lady Jane, Paint It Black and Out Of Time before two versions of Con le Mie Lacrime, the first one lacking the harpsichord.

Disc Two opens with Out Of Time demo for Chris Farlowe, then the long August 1966 session from RCA Studios with backing tracks (Yesterday s Papers, My Obsessions, All Sold Out, Please Go Home, Complicated, Let s Spend The Night Together, Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?) and finally the Olympic Studio sessions featuring other backing tracks (Let s Spend The Night Together with chorus) and Get Yourself Together II as well as odd tracks, Trouble In Mind having a spoken intro with Brian Jones on kazoo. However there are also a number of officially released songs that are no outtakes at all (Ride On Baby, Sittin On A Fence, Out Of Time) and some tracks that see only part of the band members involved like Stu Ball released as Stu and the Railroaders in 1965 or All I Want Is My Baby that is Bobby Jameson version produced by A.Oldham with Keith Richards as musical director for a single that came out on 27 November 1964 that has Jimmy Page on guitar and Andrew Oldham on backing vocals; So Much In Love is the Mighty Avengers song produced by John Paul Jones in August 64 while Each And Every Day Of The Year is Thee from May 1965 and the last two songs are from Chris Farlowe from The Art of Chris Farlowe Immediate album, produced by M.Jagger. This collection presents excellent takes though especially the Between the Buttons backing tracks that are stereo versions with no hiss at all and is a valuable example of a great compilation that can be assembled covering old studio sessions including weird but interesting ones.
