The review

After the previous 4 discs set, here we have the follow-up with the same name, here Disc One starts with the newly leaked take of Down in the Bottom followed by an alternate stereo mix of Satisfaction and then presents well known 2019 RSTrax having been remastered, so the label claims. Unfortunately, something went wrong on You Can’t Always Get What You Want where too loud bass frequency caused a distorted sound throughout. We also get the earlies version of Brown Sugar. Disc Two is more enjoyable offering 2024 leaked outtakes including some unreleased ones from the 70s and 80s among which the 16 minutes version of I’m So Weak stands out, as well as the unedited longer version of Paying the Cost to Ne the Boss with BB King. This is a nice collection, the first to feature the newly discovered outtakes and certainly a collectable one.
