In my honest opinion, the most interesting of the 1970s Rolling Stones Decca compilations. This is a superb 16-track set featuring outtakes and alternate versions of well-known songs recorded from 1964 to 1970.
Some were songs written for other artists to perform, thus Stones versions were unheard until this album’s release.
It features several different guest backing musicians as well as the usual friends of the band. This version of ‘Heart of Stone’ features the future Led Zeppelin star Jimmy Page on guitar. Also three songs were recorded during the ‘Let it Bleed’ sessions.
This an immaculate/un-played in 44 years !! UK first pressing with the record played once prior to listing to test play only, the cover almost equally impressive and protected from new. Records like this are scarcely found like this, and a brilliant album with great songs.
