Rolling Stones/Fully Finished Studio Outtakes Remastered

Even though 2021 is only three months old, “FULLY FINISHED STUDIO OUTTAKES” is undoubtedly the top candidate for this year’s Rare Sound Source Award. After all, the contents of the precious sound source, which has the highest quality and the volume of three CDs, is so shocking that maniacs can’t help but cry out, “I’m glad to be alive!” On top of that, there was a limited number of original overseas releases, so it’s no surprise that this resulted in even more enthusiasm among enthusiasts. Well, it is precisely because such shocking excavations occur even once in a while that collecting rare sound sources is unstoppable. As a result, it was even covered in the British popular press, and the fact that it was speculated that the cause of this leak was “hacking” shows how shocking it was. The biggest thing is not only that the outtakes were recorded with the highest sound quality, but also that each sound source was finished in a condition that could be released as is. Although it is such a shocking masterpiece, it is also true that there were some concerns from the beginning of its release. Let’s list them. ? There is no sense in the order of the songs. They were not arranged according to the era of the recorded sound source, but were arranged randomly. It seems that the only concept was to record the sound source of the “BRIDGES TO BABYLON” period, which is one of the highlights, at the end of each disc. ? Inaccurate recording data This may have been the biggest problem. There were cases where the credited recording data and year were completely different. ?Sound skipping during the intro of “Strictly Memphis”. This is also a big drawback. Perhaps it was a mistake during master production, but the intro to Disc-3 “Strictly Memphis” was recorded with the sound skipped. It also hurts that this happened to an unreleased song that is popular among enthusiasts. In light of these issues, this time we took advantage of the late release, thoroughly re-washed the data of each sound source, and rearranged the sound sources in the order of recording. In addition, we will release a renewed version that is far from a mere reproduction, with the highest sound quality and the removal of noise that was occurring in several places. Disc-1 1. She’s Doing Her Thing (1967)*vocal version of “Title 15” aka “Dream Pipe” Naturally, the opening song is this song, which was an outtake of “THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST”. An unreleased song whose session footage was previously included on Satanic Box’s “Blue Box” as “Title 15”. I never thought it would be finished as a truck to this extent. It is a vocal arrangement of Mick and Keith’s interaction, which may be the reason why the comical atmosphere has been lost. Even so, Keith’s voice sounds young. 2. Blood Red Wine (1968) This is a familiar outtake of Trident items among enthusiasts, and it is also a song that has been heard in a highly complete state and sound quality for a long time. It is finally recorded with even more sophisticated sound quality. 3. Curtis Meets Smokey (1969) An unreleased song whose title was known until now has finally been discovered. The “1966” data for the original release is a big mistake, and it was actually recorded in 1969. As the title suggests, Mick’s style of singing is reminiscent of Curtis Mayfield and Smokey Robinson. 4. Walk With Me Wendy (1970) This is an outtake that appears for the first time, but from Mick’s screaming vocals and the overall sound, you can easily imagine that it was recorded in 1970, and it was included in the Trident release. That’s not strange. 5. Tell Her How It Is (1970) *vocal version of “Potted Shrimp” Instrumental that was previously credited as “Potted Shrimp” on Trident items, here is the vocal that Mick seems to have added later. but. However, the lyrics are not decided yet, and he seems to be searching for a melody while arranging the words he can think of. By the way, isn’t Stephen Stills the one playing the wah-wah lead guitar that sounds endlessly among overseas enthusiasts? There was some discussion about this, but the phrases actually sound exactly like his playing. What does it actually mean? 6. Criss Cross (1972) This song was officially released last year, but of course the mix is ​​completely different from the version heard there, and Mick’s vocal is still a single track. Many people may find this version more raw and preferable than last year’s version, which had a more elaborate feel. 7. It’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll (But I Like It) (1973) One of the big highlights this time. It is well known that this song was originally created by Mick and David Bowie in Ronnie’s studio for fun, but was “captured” by the Stones. The original state was finally discovered. It’s a moving version where you can clearly see that the song was really made by three people, with Ronnie and Bowie joining Mick’s lead vocals. 8. Too Many Cooks (1973) Mick participated in a session at the Record Plant produced by John Lennon, and although it is not strictly a Stones recording, it is a long-famous unreleased cover, and now it is a famous unreleased cover. Already released as a bonus to Mick’s solo best. However, this version is an earlier take, and you can tell from the arrangement that the intro is just Jack Bruce’s bass and no Jim Keltner’s hi-hat. 9. Living In The Heart Of Love (1974) It is familiar to enthusiasts as the unreleased song that decorates the beginning of the masterpiece “LONELY AT THE TOP”, but here is a version in which Mick re-sung it in later years. Therefore, the voice quality and singing style are completely different, and there is a theory that the work was done in 1994, but judging from Mick’s voice quality, it is presumed that it was done when outtakes were reused in “TATOO YOU”. Sho. 10. Fast Talking Slow Walking (1974) It is familiar to enthusiasts as an unreleased song discovered in the CD era, but whereas those songs were all monaural, here the sound quality and finish of the track are much better. Recorded in an improved state. Even so, Mick’s lyrics had not yet been decided, and the song was eventually shelved. 11. Scarlet (1974) For a long time, only the title of the song was known, but it suddenly became a major hit last year. There are various speculations about this version, but the track is not as finished as last year’s version, and above all, it is a different mix that makes it easy to understand the difference that Jimmy’s lead guitar does not appear. 12. Built That Way (1975) Even now, it’s easy to find second-hand copies (lol). I was surprised to find a version of the song with Mick’s song that was included in “INSTRUMENTALS” under the title “Heatwave.” It is assumed that his songs were also included at the same time, and the overall level of perfection is on a whole other level. It’s easy to imagine that the song would have been judged to be a bit un-Stones-like, or unsuitable for “BLACK & BLUE.” 13. Fiji Jim (1977) 14. Never Make You Cry (1977) 15. You Win Again (1977) These are all familiar outtakes from 1977, and even tracks that seem unfinished are mixed in this way. I can’t help but be surprised that it has been reborn into a state that is quite listenable just by being properly mastered. 16. Every Time I Break Her Heart (1977) The first outtake that you can tell at first listen that it’s an early version of “Far Away Eyes.” Despite this, the mixing and mastering were done well, so perhaps it was a candidate for inclusion in the “SOME GIRLS” deluxe? The more I want to guess. 17. Covered In Bruises (Ronnie Wood / Mick Jagger on Vocals) (1977) *Ronnie Wood / Mick Jagger on Vocals This is also a surprise, the Stones version of the title song of Ronnie’s solo album “1234”. The performance is more sophisticated in the later Ronnie version, but since Mick is with him here, the singing part is the overwhelming victory. Wasn’t the version of “1234” used as a temporary song? Ronnie’s singing was so loose that it sounded questionable, so I think it’s all the more impressive. Disc-2 1. Not The Way To Go (1978) Outtake of “EMOTIONAL RESCUE” which was familiar to enthusiasts. The scene where Mick instructs the chord progression is the same, but there are parts where his singing is different from the beginning, and this may be the version that was considered for release to some extent. 2. Trouble’s A Coming (1979)aka “Break Away” 3. It’s A Lie (1979) Both are outtakes from the emotional era, which was known for OBR label items, but Mick’s solid vocals and organized The impression changes completely thanks to the balance. 4. Dreams To Remember (1982) From here, outtakes from the album “UNDERCOVER” period begin, but it is impressive that Mick’s voice has changed to that of the 80’s. What’s even more surprising is that they were experimenting with this kind of R&B even in the sessions for the album, which was led by Mick and introduced cutting-edge sounds. Naturally, the atmosphere is incongruous with “UNDERCOVER”, but if you put some brass on it, it might have been a complete track. 5. Eliza Upchink (1982) A more advanced version of the unreleased song discovered in “FOXES IN THE BOX Vol.1” a few years ago. The intro that Keith started playing is reminiscent of “Had It With You”, and I can’t help but think that this song was one of the hints. On the other hand, it makes me think that this kind of melody was completely lost in “UNDERCOVER”. 6. (You Better) Stop That (1982) 7. Part Of The Night (1982) *vocal version of “Golden Caddy” Both are previously known unreleased songs from the “UNDERCOVER” period outtakes. , I was surprised by “(You Better) Stop That” where Mick’s vocals, which used to sound far away, were pushed to the front. Furthermore, “Part Of The Night” is a vocal take that Mick sang more firmly than before. Even so, it’s still at the level of a temporary song, but you can tell that he was trying to complete the track. 8. Keep It Cool (1982) 9. Can’t Find Love (1982) This is an unreleased song that appeared on “FOXES IN THE BOX Vol.1”, and this time it’s more complete, but it feels… (laughs) 10. Cooking Up (1982) 11. Still In Love With You (1982) 12. I Tried To Talk Her Into It (1982) Previously, Mick’s voice sounded far away and was difficult to hear. Outtake group. The shock of this sudden change and being pushed to the forefront was considerable. Not only that, but “Still In Love With You” was discovered with Keith and Ronnie’s backing chorus added to Mick’s vocals, which were supposed to be released. By the way, in the original version, we removed the sound that appeared to be an editing error that was included after “Cooking Up” ended. 13. Dog Shit (1983) *Also known as “Big Truff” I can’t help but feel that the song title is too vague (lol), but this is an unreleased song that was included in last year’s Art Collins-related sound source. I was surprised that even the horn was overdubbed even though there was no vocals, but here Mick’s vocals finally appear. And this time, the key point is that the pitch is accurate. With conventional instruments, it was impossible to judge whether the pitch was accurate or not. 14. Putty In Your Hands (1985) This is an outtake of “DIRTY WORK”. I remember being surprised when sound sources related to the same album leaked out shortly after the release of the album, starting with “DIRTIEST WORK”, but here we have some valuable sound sources that have never been heard before. It was reported at the time that this cover song familiar to Yardbirds was recorded with “DIRTY WORK”, but it has finally appeared. What’s more, it has a high level of perfection, and even if it were released as is, there would be no discomfort. 15. I Can’t See No One Else (1985) *aka “Beside You” 16. Strictly Memphis (1985) These “DIRTY WORK” outtakes are also famous in their own way, but the biggest stain on this release is “Strictly Memphis”. A skip occurred in the intro of “Memphis”. In the first place, this song was one of the most popular songs in the Stones’ outtake history. On the other hand, the outtake of “DIRTY WORK” was leaked via cassette copy, so there was a dilemma that the sound quality was not very good. However, this time it is a highly complete version that can be called the final version with even more changes to the track than the version heard up to that time, and the sound quality is also perfect. That’s why many enthusiasts were disappointed by the lack of an intro. ★So this time, we have carefully supplemented the intro from the current best material. We have restored it to a condition that does not look out of place at all. Disc-3 1. Nobody’s Perfect (1985) This is an unreleased song that opened the set with an outrageous 1975 year credit on the original version, but when I heard Mick’s voice, I realized it was an outtake from the mid-80s. Masu. The performance itself is an arrangement that seems to have been recorded by Pathé Marconi around 1977, but it is probably “DIRTY WORK”. Above all, I am amazed at Mick’s singing, which is so passionate that it can be released as is. 2. Deep Love (1985) This is also a familiar outtake from the “DIRTIEST WORK” era with a rough take of Keith singing. However, this time it’s a completely different version of the track with Mick’s vocals added to it. It was undeniable that the previous version had a weak impression, but when a take that has been completed to this extent is released, the impression completely changes. And I am often reminded that the Stones of this era had a pattern of “Keith makes the songs and Mick finishes the tracks.” 3. Don’t Lie To Me (1985) It’s true that the Stones performed this song on their 1972 tour, and the credits on the original version are not out of place. However, from the sound quality of the track and Mick’s voice quality, it can be seen that it is a recording from the 80’s, and this was also part of the cover songs recorded during the “DIRTY WORK” session. The calm performance is completely different from the aggressive 1972 version. 4. Giving It Up (1989) The only outtake from “STEEL WHEELS” in this set. A rough mix of this album was leaked in the mid-21st century, but it was an unreleased song that had already been heard there. This time, a little piano has been added. 5. Hands Off (1993) 6. Ivy League (1993) 1994’s “VOODOO LOUNGE” is an album whose sound source was leaked a year after its release due to its unprecedented volume and highest sound quality. Naturally, these two songs were included, but in both of them Mick’s vocals were far away and unfinished, but here the tracks are so complete that it’s hard to believe they’re the same performance, and Mick’s vocals have also been added. I’m amazed at how things have evolved. This is the reason why it is called “FULLY FINISHED”. 7. 20 Nil (1997) One of the highlights of this set is the “BRIDGES TO BABYLON” outtake. Since there were many recorded sound sources, the order of the songs has been rearranged, making it easier to listen to them all at once. The opening song, “20 Nil,” is one of the most unfinished songs in the set, with the entire band meeting in the studio and creating a rough and loose draft. Still, the sound quality is top-notch, so I listen to it intently. 8. Low Down (1997) * Keith Richards on vocals By changing the order of the songs, the loose “20 Nil” is followed by Keith’s vocal version of “Low Down”, which is also loose and full of Stones characteristics, which is also attractive. You’ll probably feel it. His singing and performance are basic, but that’s why I get goosebumps from the realism that conveys the atmosphere of the studio. 9. Dream About (1997) If “Low Down” is a song with strong Keith characteristics, this one is full of Mick characteristics. Speaking of “BRIDGES TO BABYLON”, since the appointment of the Dust Brothers was realized at Mick’s suggestion, it is presumed that their color is reflected here, and it even feels like a pop that is no longer typical of the Stones. It’s an unreleased song that you can easily imagine was rejected by Keith because of that, but it’s so complete that it doesn’t feel old even when you listen to it now. 10. Flip The Switch (1997) * Keith Richards on vocals Among the “BRIDGES TO BABYLON” outtakes that occupy the second half of Disc-3, the biggest highlight was the early part of “Flip The Switch” that opened the album. take. What’s more, the lead vocalist is Keith. The lyrics are still rough, but it’s worth noting that the “take me up” line is already complete. Mick expanded the lyrics from here, and it can be said to be a valuable document that gives a glimpse of the division of labor between Jagger and Richards. The intro is led by a spacey SE and Charlie’s drums fade in, which seems like a production that was clearly intended for release. And the rough performance unique to the initial take is the best, and the acoustic guitar sound that could not be heard in the final version is also fresh. 11. Sanctuary (1997)12. Desperate Man (1997)13. Prairie Love (1997) All unreleased songs, “Desperate Man” has an uptempo feel to “Already Over Me” and “Prairie Love” It seems to be the prototype of “Gunface”. Even more interesting than those is “Sanctuary”, which again has a sound and atmosphere that flickers the shadow of the Dust Brothers, but here Keith joins in the backing chorus. 14. Might As Well Get Juiced (1997) 15. Too Tight (Keith Richards on Vocal) (1997) Rounding out the Babylon outtakes are early versions of two songs. “Might As Well Get Juiced”, which had a unique atmosphere on the album, does not have the elaborate effects processing of the final version, and the performance and Mick’s singing are raw, so it is typical of the Stones and has a desirable finish. And judging from the melody, the initial take of “Too Tight”, in which Keith was at full throttle, feels like it could have been included in the album even if it was sung by him, and it’s a surprising version with a fiddle playing as an added bonus. I will not introduce the two songs from 2002 because they are not outtakes. The biggest point in this release is probably the adjustment to the intro of “Strictly Memphis,” but at the same time, in the original version, “BRIDGES TO BABYLON” is so scattered over three discs that it’s hard to get a sense of the whole picture. Outtake. Another big advantage is that it has been reorganized and is now easier to understand. “FULLY FINISHED STUDIO OUTTAKES”, which had the biggest impact on enthusiasts around the world, has been arranged in the order of recording, making it easier to listen to in every sense. This is the favorite board! (Remastered memo)) Overall, the unnecessarily long silence between songs was removed after making sure that it was not overdone and did not interfere with the musical sound. Disc 3-08. Low Down (1997) Immediately after 5:10 Small noises have been removed. In addition, the musical sound of the momentary “go” just before is still intact. Disc 3-12. Desperate Man (1997) 3:32 Right Digital-like noise has been removed The outtakes recorded in this FFSO are the first appearance or the same song Considering that most of the versions do not overlap with previous releases, to fully enjoy it, this work of “Chronological Order” recorded in the order of production is the definitive edition!
