NOTES :
There have been a glut of
Rolling Stones outtakes
being released of late,
and
Got To Be Worked On!
on Rover Records
is a competent collection.
The sound quality
varies depending
on the source,
but they are all
very good
to excellent sounding,
professionally
recorded outtakes.
Some of the tracks
sound rather hissy,
although this is due
to the original
source material.
The first track
on this collection
is an unreleased song
called
“I Can See It (aka Get Yourself Together).”
It was recorded in
August, 1966
during the
Between The Buttons sessions
and overdubbed
in November.
The sound quality
is excellent
but a bit hissy.
With the fuzz
on the guitar
and
bombastic drums,
it sounds like
the Stones trying to
imitate the Kinks.
The following two songs
date from
the same sessions
and are
basic run throughs
of
“Yesterday’s Papers”
and an
early version
of
“Dandelion.”
“Old King Cole”
is an
instrumental rehearsal
for the song
“We Love You.”
“Child Of The Moon”
was recorded in
March, 1968
and this is an
alternate mix
heavy on the bass
and
Drums
“Jumping Jack Flash”
is from the
promo film
recorded on
April 27th, 1968
and comes
straight from the video.
This version
is much more raw
than the final
and includes extra
“whoops”
at the beginning.
“Street Fighting Man”
an instrumental version
recorded in
February 1968
at Keith Richards’
home under the title
“Primo Grande.”
The first attempts
in the studio were
a month later
at Olympic Studio.
The first instrumental
run through
was again
referred to as
“Primo Grande.”
The first attempt
at recording it
with lyrics
was at the
same sessions
under the title
“Pay Your Dues”
and features
Nicky Hopkins
on piano,
Dave Mason
on shenhani,
Rick Grech
on
electric violin
and
backing vocals
provided by
Jim King
and
Roger Chapman
. The only difference
in the
instrumental arrangement
between this
and the
commercial version
is the lack of violin.
The original lyrics
are quite strange
and the chorus says,
“Now did everybody pay their dues? /
Now did end up with tribal blues? /
All the braves and squaws
and the maids
and the whores /
Did, everybody pay their dues?”
“Stray Cat Blues”
dates from
Olympic Studio
on April 3rd, 1968.
This is a early
alternate mix
with
additional vocals
and louder bass
and lead guitar.
“Parachute Woman”
comes from
a session on
March 25th, 1968,
and this track
is an early mix
of the second take
with
double tracked vocals.
both
“Factory Girl,”
“Dear Doctor,”
and
“No Expectations”
originate from
the same sessions
in
May, 1968
at
Olympic Studio.
“Factory Girl”
is a take different
from the
Beggar’s Banquet version
and features
Rick Grech
on fiddle,
Rocky Dijon
on congas
and
Dave Mason
on mandolin.
The fiddle is
mixed differently.
“Dear Doctor”
is the first take
with different
lead vocals
than the commercial version.
“No Expectations”
begins with
Keith speaking
to Stu
before the song begins.
This outtake appears
on Time Trip
and other titles,
but Rover
have a
version lasting four minutes
twenty-one seconds
and contains
the final verse
which are omitted
from other titles.
“You Got The Silver”
comes from
February 16th, 1969
and this is the
ubiquitous take
with
Mick on vocals.
The first of two takes
of
“Wild Horses”
on
Got To Be Worked On!
was recorded in
December, 1969
at Olympic Studio
and is a
remix of the
Shelly version
of the song
but without piano.
“Sister Morphine”
is the third version
of the song recorded
at Olympic
in March 1969
(and not 1968 as mentioned in the liner notes).
The following track
“Gimme Shelter”
comes from the sessions as
“Sister Morphine”
and this is the
popular take
from March 15th
that features Keith
on vocals,
Nicky Hopkins
on piano
and
Jimmy Miller
on percussion.
There also are
no backing vocals
as on the final track.
“Loving Cup”
comes from the
Olympic Studio sessions
from April 17th
to July 2nd,
and this take
features a
different piano introduction.
“Dead Flowers”
comes from
a session on
April 24th, 1970
at Olympic Studios
and this take is
the commercial version
but with a
slightly different mix.
“Bitch”
was recorded in
late October 1970
at Stargroves
with the
Mobile Record Unit
and mixed at
Olympic Sound
soon afterwards.
This is the
second version
which is the one
used on
Sticky Fingers
but with a
different mix.
“Brown Sugar”
was recorded at
Muscle Shoals in
Alabama
several days before
the concert
at Altamont.
This is the second version
(“Decca acetate”)
which has
no saxophone
and
Ian Stewart
playing piano.
Finally,
this take of
“Wild Horses”
dates from
the same time
and place
as the
preceding track.
This features
Jim Dickinson
on tack piano
and this tape
was given as
a demo to
Gram Parsons.
