REVIEW: |
Stones studio works have been the subject of
many underground releases and will always be of great interest to collectors since
the band s official releases have a tendency to be so rare, so fans have
started creating their own product, especially those technically savvy enough
to speed correct and re-master the available outtakes. Here is a fan release
that focus just on three songs in many versions, let s examine them:
Too Tough (a.k.a. XXX), version one here it s a
mix from 2 sources: Chain Saw Massacre (DAC 110) on left channel and Jamming
With Stu (VGP 240) on the right channel while Track no.2 it s been done using
Birds Vault III (
OBR
93CD 039)
source (speed correction and channel duplicated). The first version of
Baby You re Too Much is a demo
version coming from a silver disc of Keith Richards Hamngbird Disaster
(TSD 016), here a channel has been duplicated, the sound amplified and some
noises deleted, this song s next presented in two versions, both without sax
because it exists in two different takes with slight differences: the one called
II- version 1 is a mix of Mean Lean Hits (DAC 112) on left channel and High
Temperature (VGP 285) on the right channel (only the 3 first seconds are from
the VGP version), while the other one is a mix of Back To Zero (DAC 020)
duplicated channels and Crushed Pearl (VGP 041) for the last few seconds. Version
3 of this song comes next, the 3rd version (with sax) from Little Boy Blue cd
(RS 6185), here duplicated and with a little more treble. The 2nd
version was used to correct the speed (-2’91%).
The last take of this songs comes from Voodoo
Brew Disc n. 3 (Vigotone 0147-150): the beginning has been boosted in order not
to hear the noises in the intro. The last three songs are different versions of
What Am I Gonna Do With Your Love the firs one also known as Something I
Want/Your Love which comes from Hamngbird Disaster and that was slowed down by
-3,731%, using Glimmer Twins Private Tapes (Weeping Goat 020) cd as reference
(better correction but incomplete). A channel has been duplicated, some faults
deleted, in particular at 5’18 and 10’30. The sound is not great but if
compared with the original the improvement is noticeable. The second version
ois also known as What Am I Supposed To Do With Your Love and features Keith
Richards, Bobby Womack and Don Covay on vocals.
It appeared for the first time on
Foxes In The Boxes (no label), here is the Can t Find Love (DAC 159) version
slightly reworked. The final version has Mick Jagger on vocals, coming from Back
To Zero (DAC 020) which has been duplicated and slightly reworked.
The
reason why DAC has been used mostly is that they are the best in terms of speed
correction. Packaging is nice although the back cover background is too dark
and for front cover the small picture on the back cover featuring Mick and
Keith sharing a puff of smoke would have been perfect, rather than the on stage
one selected.
