Description
Upon its initial pressing (Nov. 18, 1971), alternate versions of Brown Sugar and Wild Horses were included on the Hot Rocks master plate. These versions first appeared in the 1970 documentary Gimme Shelter. In the trail-off vinyl of side four the word Shelley and the date 11-18-71.
The identifying mark is not easy to locate or read, but the mystery does not end if and when it is found. The songs themselves differ greatly from the known versions. Brown Sugar is a lot closer to the demo version heard in the hotel room sequence of the Gimme Shelter movie while Wild Horses has some noticeable vocal reverb.
The original Shelley 11-18-71, with the alternate takes rarely surfaces.
The labels are light blue and silver originals with boxed London logo and 'Stereophonic' text. The all important word 'Shelley' has been hand scratched on 3 sides with the date 11-18-71 scratched into the run out groove on side four. Also present in the run out groove of side four is the XZAL11018 matrix number and 'STERLING' has been machine stamped.
The records are in great shape with side four being the VG+ the rest are better NM or EX
