Unsure how many "parts" there will be for this I have a BUNCH of Stones rarities, and yesterday's "tribute" got me thinking/listening to some STONES....hey, they were pretty good! Just joking of course, aI'm sure that the folks who would rather see some GG Alin or Guru Guru or Crass just need to remember that my middle name is "versatility" (it really is too, had it legally changed, hell it HAS to be better than "Michael"!)
Let us start off randomly enough with the FIVE disc "Girls Pills and Powder".....a mishmash of outtakes that without question has it's moments.....surprised by how many Stones fans I've spoken with who DON'T have this interesting set it has it's slow moments of course, but again, these are the STONES, and If you are/were a fan as I am/was, certainly you will find SOMETHING you've not heard...Disc 1 "Some More Girls" gives us alternate takes of all the tracks on (what I consider to be) their last listenable album) 1979's "Some Girls".....there were some fine tracks on that LP, "When the Whip Comes Down", "Shattered", "Before they Make me Run" and for the most part this is an excellent collection of outtakes.The other four discs are mor less your standard sudio fuck-arounds, suffice to say it is for FANS, others may be bored/put off, but I wanted to make the whole set availabe for anyone who wanted it.
Going back in time a bit, we have the "1972 Decca Unreleased Live Album",unreleased for reasons unknown to me, but full of classic versions of classic materia: "Gimme Shelter", "Tumblin Dice, "Brown Sugar" and a LOT more.
Fairly well known is "Acousic Motherfuckers", jus what it sounds like (tomorrow I will put up its bitchin cousin "Electric Motherfuckers"....accousic versions of, say "All Down the Line"" Dead FLowers", the Beatles "Please Please Me".....again (for FANS) indespensible.
A good radio simulcast from Oakland 1969 has the
boys in rave-up form, including a killer encore of "Saisfaction" (I saw the Stones in 1981, after the "magic" was LONG gone.....they could still bring the noise as well as anyone....."The Greatest RocK N Roll Band in the World?" Certainly on some nights they were.
OK, I AM going to finish this......bands like the Stones, Clalsh, Roxy, Nirvana, that I have SO MUCH (hundreds and hundreds of discs each) DESERVE rarities posts for their fans......this (Stones) may take me 3-4 days, and I'm happy to do so, they deserve the time it takes.....it's just hard sorting through ALL that material and deciding what is worth making the cut and what is not......I promise to try to make this a qulaity post for you, if you're a big Stones fan maybe you'll find one or two new discs for your collection, if you're NOT a Stones fan, well, maybe this will help to convert you.......or not,but I recommend you stick around. The next few days promise to be fun for ME at least and I hope for you too!
