REVIEW:

Voodoo Lounge is most likely the Stones album from which sessions most outtakes and alternates have surfaced and here some more with a promise from the label to get part 2 in August of this year.

This collection of Voodoo lounge outtakes comes from Mayflower allegedly following the request from a collector. It presents different takes from the released versions, although Disc One has them in the same order of the official record: Love Is Strong is an extended version with different vocals and guitar overdubs, You Got Me Rocking is an extended mix with extra guitar overdubs, Sparks Will Fly has an alternate mix, The Worst has an extra bridge while New Faces seems to have different vocals too. Extended alternate mix is featured on Moon Is Up with a different guitar overdub, Out Of Tears is an alternate mix without backing vocals same as I Go Wild that is longer. Brand New Car is here sung by Keith Richards on top of Jagger, on this version of Sweethearts Together there is no accordion; different guitars altogether on Suck On the Jugular which unfortunately has some gaps midway while on Blinded By Rainbow there is no added guitar overdub. Both Baby Break It Down and Thru And Thru are extended mixes (the former lasting almost 6 minutes and the latter with some additional effects); shorter though is this version of Mean Disposition. Disc Two presents Keith Richards strumming alone in the studio on some classic tunes, just fragments though. The last track has a long dialogue between Keith Richards, Ron and Jo Wood. Disc Three has in fact the outtakes of these sessions, mostly instrumentals, but all in excellent shape, taken from the jam during New Faces overdub sessions.

On Disc Four The Storm (first track) has a different mix, You Got Me Rocking, Baby Break It Down and Thru And Thru are without backing vocals, Sparks Will Fly is sung by Keith Richards while Brand New Car and Blinded By Rainbows are early takes. The Storm, last track, has an overdubbed guitar on this edited remix. Packaging is peculiar, there are the usual mistakes on the recording sources, but what the hell are the Beggars Mixes for The Worst on Disc One and for The Storm and Sparks Will Fly on Disc Four? Most likely a leftover from some previous project’s cover. Finally, the label has placed the 5 discs is a Fatboy case (4) and the other disc in a single Jewel case with its own cover, it seems they do not know Fatboy could easily house a 5 Discs. Apart from this the sound output is spectacular and consistent all over the discs.
