REVIEW:

 Here we have Cpt Acid’s second attempt at the Stones Black & Blue Outtakes which came out in early December 2025, after he already devoted 3 discs to those sessions under the name Smack And Blow; this job has been copied and pressed by Empress Valley. All tracks have been fixed with particular attention to azimuth, phase and level correction, adding new equalization and working on few files with Spectral Recovery. The main tracks come from Munichland Melodies (DAC 088), but these are some earlier generation. Some notes on songs names: Something Good was previously known as Act Together, Vagina is known as Slave, Cable From My Baby was the working title of I Got A Letter ad Let’s Do It Right as C’mon Baby.

We do start with Hot Stuff which is the instrumental first version with Ollie Brown and Stu on percussions easily discernible on the left channel, followed by Hand Of Fate with distinctive guitar solos by Wayne Perkins. From late 74 Musicland Studios sessions comes Cherry Oh Baby that features Nicky Hopkins on organ; this version of Memory Motel comes from Munich 75 sessions and is an instrumental version with both Wayne Perkins and Harvey Mandel on guitars and Billy Preston on synthesizer while Hey Negrita is the early take of the song inspired (or written) by Ron Wood that lasts 11.40 minutes. Back in time for this early shot of Melody where we find Billy Preston on vocals and piano. On Fool To Cry early version we get Nicky Hopkins on piano and synthesizer and no backing vocals, but this is the version with finished lyrics; as for this version of Crazy Mama it comes from Rotterdam like Melody and we do get different lyrics too. Carnival To Rio has nothing to do with the Black And Blue outtakes, but this version has a wrong start and some extra seconds at the beginning. Nothing new on this compilation of outtakes but a quite enjoyable set of different versions that could be interesting for beginners.
