Some of the Rolling Stones' more interesting and readily available material that has never seen an official release:
-"And Mr. Spector and Mr. Pitney Came Too": More or less the instrumental
version of Andrew's Blues aka 1964 Blues Jam on some releases.
-Bright Lights Big City: This early 1970s bootleg features tracks cut
at Chess Studios in 1964, and RCA Studios (L.A.) in 1965. Highlights include
Stewed and Keefed / Tell Me Baby / How Many Times / Down In The Bottom / Hi
Heel Sneakers / Looking Tired (with a riff lifted from Robert Johnson's "32-20
Blues," which Johnson lifted from Skip James' "20-20 Blues"). "Look What
You've Done" is from the same sessions, but was not on the album.
-Cops and Robbers: apparently a pretty good bootleg of mid-1960s
material. Don't know much more about it.
-(I Can See It) Get Yourself Together: Between The Buttons outtake
(1966). aka Can't Believe and I Can See It
-Cosmic Christmas: Satanic Majesties outtake (1967). Not really a song at
30 seconds, but interesting. (Essentially "We Wish You a Merry Christmas"
played on a theremin. Backwards.)
-Hamburger To Go: Beggars Banquet outtake (1968)? Mentioned in The
First Twenty Years (1981 by David Dalton).
-Highway Child: Beggars Banquet outtake (1968). At one point, the riff
sounds like .38 Special's "Hold On Loosely"!
-Still A Fool: Muddy Waters cover. No other info.
-"Gimme Shelter" and "Dandelion": versions exist with Keith Richards on
vocals.
-Sister Morphine: a version exists with the Stones backing Marianne
Faithfull!
-You Got The Silver: a version exists with Mick Jagger on vocals
-Loving Cup / All Down The Line / Tumbling Dice: outtakes from the Let It
Bleed or Sticky Fingers sessions, all of which were re-recorded for
Exile On Main Street. "Tumbling Dice" is called "Good Time Women"
here, by the way.
-Live at the Marquee Club and Get Yer Leeds Lungs Out: The former is a concert, taped by BBC-TV, while the latter is audio only. Both are readily available if you know where to look.
