*Brian may be backing vocals, possibly turned down in the mix by Andrew Oldham. Apparently this actually happened. He certainly takes them at the TAMI Show, but is too far away from the mike to be picked up. **The Stones played the song in an arrangement closer to the original on British TV in early 1967, on Sunday Night At the London Palladium.

DON'T LIE TO ME (Chuck Berry)* Rec: June 10, 1964 Rel: June 6, 1975 (METAMORPHOSIS LP) M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: Lead Guitar. B. Jones: Rhythm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. I. Stewart: Piano.

*This song was allegedly actually written by a pre-Doors Ray Manzarek, according to Manzarek's autobiography. Weird if true. **Also recorded on June 10 - STEWED AND KEEFED, an excellent bluesy, piano led instrumental featuring (obviously) Stu and Keith. On June 11, the Stones recorded stabs at HIGH HEELED SNEEKERS, MEET ME IN THE BOTTOM, REELIN' AND ROCKIN' , TELL ME BABY (which was released on a German LP, the compilers mistaking it for TELL ME (YOU'RE COMING BACK)) .In addition the Stones recorded a couple of tracks for their upcoming No.2 album - I CAN'T BE SATISFIED and DOWN THE ROAD APIECE (both June 10) and possibly the aforementioned 2nd version of GOOD TIMES BAD TIMES.

*The UK Version runs 4:59 to the U.S. Version's 2:57, and is a completely different (and superior) take. The U.S. Version is reportedly a run-through, but does contain overdubs.

DOWN HOME GIRL (Leiber, Butler) Rec: Oct. 27- Nov. 2, 1964 M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Harmonica. K. Richard: Guitar. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass, 6-String Bass.* C. Watts: Drums. Jack Nitzsche: Piano.

*Overdubbed over the normal 4 string bass. Also called "Baritone Guitar" at the time. How quaint!

YOU CAN'T CATCH ME (Chuck Berry) Rec: June 24-26, and Sept. 2, 1964 M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Woodblock (?). K. Richard: Lead and Rhythm Guitar. B. Jones: Rhythm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Sticks*, Woodblock (?).

*This version released in the UK was recorded in the US. The US version was recorded in the UK! This UK Version starts with the guitar, not the organ. **This backing vocal, dubbed in the studio, was handled by Wyman in concert.

WHAT A SHAME (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Nov. 8, 1964* M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: Rhythm/ Lead Guitar. B. Jones: Slide Guitar. B.Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. I. Stewart: Piano.

The song is sometimes mistakenly known as "Get Back To The One You Love" after a repeated refrain) - all remain unbooted.

*Apparently a keyboard of Jack's own invention. Mention is made of Jack playing a "toy" piano during this time. Could THAT be the 'Nitszche-phone"?

OTHER SONGS RECORDED AT THE ALBUM SESSIONS:

CONGRATULATIONS (Jagger, Richard) Rec: June 24-26, 1964. Rel: Sept. 25, 1964 (U.S. B-Side). M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: 12 string Acoustic Guitar, Harmony Vocal. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

TIME IS ON MY SIDE (U.S. VERSION) (Meade) Rec: June 24-26, 1964.* Rel: Sept. 25, 1964 (U.S. 45) M. Jagger: Lead and Harmony Vocal. K. Richard: Lead Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Rhythm Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Wyman: Bass.** C. Watts: Drums, Tambourine. I. Stewart: Organ.

* Also recorded on this day was a slow, organ based Jagger/Richard original called YOU'VE JUST MADE MY DAY. Only a snippet has turned on bootleg thus far. **Wyman says he and Brian did the back-ups on this, but a photo from this time shows Keith and Brian round a mike. As there's no other likely suspects, this seems to indicate that this song featured Keith and Brian on the back-ups. Hence, this attribution (Is that a word?)

LITTLE RED ROOSTER (Dixon) Rec: Sept. 2 1964 and Nov. 8, 1964.* Rel: Nov. 13, 1964 (UK 45) M. Jagger: Vocal and Harmonica. K. Richard: 12 string Acoustic Guitar. B. Jones: Slide Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

*One source suggest that Jones recorded the slide on "Rooster" as an overdub, not being present on the day the track was recorded. Does this mean Brian didn't turn up for the Sept. 2, 1964 session? The only other things the Stones did on that day was (presumably overdubs) on YOU CAN'T CATCH ME and OFF THE HOOK. In between the June and Sept. sessions, the Stones recorded (not as unit) a lot of Jagger/Richard songs with the so-called 'Andrew Oldham Orchestra' . Most of them turned up on the semi-compilation METAMORPHOSIS. However, they are all horrible and have nothing to do with the Stones output of the time, sounding more like sixth-rate Spector.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Sept. 28-29, 1964.* Rel: Feb. 12, 1965 (US. LP, THE ROLLING STONES, NOW!) M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Handclaps. K. Richard: Lead Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Rhythm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Tambourine.

* Also recorded on this day: two unreleased and mainly) unbooted Jagger/Richard numbers, WE WERE FALLING IN LOVE and I'M RELYING ON YOU (also sometimes known, erroneously, as "I'm Just A Funny Guy") A snippet of the latter has turned up on bootleg.

EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY TO LOVE (U.S. Version) (Russell, Burke, Wexler) Rec: Oct. 27-Nov. 2, 1964.* Rel: Feb. 12, 1965 (U.S. LP, THE ROLLING STONES, NOW!) M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals, Handclap, Tambourine.** K. Richard: Lead Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Rhyhm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. I. Stewart: Piano. J. Nitszche: Tambourine.**

*Also recorded on this day: three songs from the UK LP, Out Of Our Heads; HEART OF STONE, OH BABY (WE GOT A GOOD THING GOIN') and HITCH HIKE. **There are two different tambourine tracks on this cut.

Also, the Stones recorded a one-minute instrumental variation on Dust My Broom called DUST MY PYRAMIDS, with the unique writing credit of Jones/Richard around this time. Unfortunately, the recording appears to be lost.

THE LAST TIME (Version One) (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Jan. 11-12, 1965. Rel: Unbooted. This first version of the song, recorded along with an early version of PLAY WITH FIRE, called A MESS OF FIRE, features, according to expert James Karnbach, a shared lead vocal between Jagger and Jones, and is denoted as such on the tape box. Apparently the song starts with a ten second tambourine solo. Furthermore, according to Karnbach, there's a host of early Stones alternate takes which feature Brian on vocals, which were "supressed" by Oldham...however, Brian doesn't show up on...

THE LAST TIME (Jagger, Richard)* Rec: Jan. 17-18, 1965, and Feb. 17, 1965**. Rel: Feb. 26, 1965 (UK 45) M. Jagger: Lead Vocals, Tambourine***, Backing Vocals****. K. Richard: Lead, Rhythm and Acoustic Guitars, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Lead Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Jack Nitszche: Tambourine.***

*This song was derived from the Staples Singers' "This May Be The Last Time'. **Vocals were recorded at the Feb. session. ***There are possibly two different tambourines on this track. ****Bill Wyman sang the additional Jagger backing vocal when the song was preformed live.

PLAY WITH FIRE (Nanker Phelge) Rec: Jan. 17-18, 1965. Rel: Feb. 26, 1965 (UK B-Side) M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Tambourine (?). K. Richard: Acoustic Guitar. Phil Spector: Acoustic Guitar*. Jack Nitszche: Harpsichord, Tambourine (?), Bongo(?).**

*Downtuned and playing the bass line. **Jones, Wyman and Watts reportedly 'fell asleep', and missed the session.

This medley is not currently available on CD. "Everybody Needs.." only runs 38 seconds. **A show at Edmonton, London was recorded on March 5, but not used.

Both nearly made it on to the Bill Wyman compiled anthology "The Black Box", but that was replaced by Metamorphosis instead. Shame. They remain unbooted. ***Augmenting Keith's back-up with a hoarse "C'Mon, c'mon, c'mon" at around 1:35 or so.

*The Andrew Oldham Orchestra recorded a version of this song with Jagger and Richard earlier in 1964. This version, with extra lyrics,appears on Metamorphosis. A further, and even worse Andrew Oldham Orchestra version can be heard on the soundtrack of the film CharlieIs My Darling. Excruciating!

*Also recorded on this day were the early, "folk-rock" version of (I CAN'T GET NO) SATISFACTION) complete with harmonica solo by Brian. Parts of this track were reportedly used as a bed for the famous version of the song, recorded one day later, and a stab at James Brown's TRY ME. Both remain unbooted, but a harmonica version of SATISFACTION can be seen on Shindig! May 26, 1965, which is on boot. The boys recorded backing tracks for four songs for that programme on May 20, including "Rooster","Last Time" and "Play With Fire", which Brian on harpsichord this time. Mick sang live vocals on the programme. **A couple of lines of this vocal were omitted in the shorter (by 25 seconds or so) U.S. Version, due to use of the word "ass!".

OTHER SONGS RECORDED DURING THESE SESSIONS:

MY GIRL (Robinson, White) Rec: May 11 - 12, 1965, Sept. 2, 1966*. Rel: July 14, 1967 (U.S. LP, FLOWERS) M. Jagger: Lead, Harmony and Backing Vocals, Handclaps. K. Richard: Lead Guitar. B. Jones: Rhythm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Sticks (?). plus uncredited strings, flute.

(I CAN'T GET NO) SATISFACTION (Jagger, Richard)* Rec: May 11-12, 1965. Rel: June 4, 1965 (U.S. 45) M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals, Tambourine (?). K. Richard: Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Acoustic Guitar. B. Wyman: Basses.** C. Watts: Drums, Tambourine (?). I. Stewart: Piano.

*According to some people (like Noel Redding, Hendrix bassist), Brian actually authored the riff to Satisfaction. Jones would play the riff live, and twist it into the theme from "Popeye". Apparently Richard has claimed that the song was written after an aborted attempt at recording "Dancin' In The Street" at Chess, presumably on Nov. 8, 1964. Session logs apparently don't mention anything about this. **There are apparently two separate tracks on the song. Presumably one is from the May 10 recording, over which this version was apparently dubbed.

THE SPIDER AND THE FLY (Nanker Phelge) Rec: May 11 - 12, 1965. Rel: July 30, 1965 (US LP, OUT OF OUR HEADS) M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Harmonica. K. Richard: Lead Guitar. B. Jones: Rhythm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

*This had crowd noise added to it for the horrible "live" LP, Got Live..., along with FORTUNE TELLER, despite the fact that I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU TOO LONG blatantly has three guitars and a organ on it. The unfettered take, which plays host to possibly the worst vocal Jagger has ever committed to tape, appears on bootleg.

ONE MORE TRY (Jagger, Richard) Rec: May 10, 11 or 12, 1965 Rel: July 30, 1965 (US LP, OUT OF OUR HEADS) M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Harmonica. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Sticks. I. Stewart: Piano.

*Keith sings the end of the second line of each verse unaccompanied, as well as being prominent (and terribly off key) on the high end harmonies, leading me to attribute this song as being Keith's first "Lead" Vocal.

BLUE TURNS TO GREY (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Sept. 6 -7, 1965.* Rel: Dec. 3, 1965 (US LP, DECEMBER'S CHILDREN (AND EVERYBODYS...) M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Backing Vocal. K. Richard: 12 string Acoustic Guitar, Backing Vocal, Guitar. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

*Jagger and Richard recorded an 'Andrew Oldham Orchestra' version of this song in 1964. The Stones didn't do many Oldham Orchestra sessions in '65, but for one that February, which produced another tawdry version of a third rate Jagger, Richard song- in this case one called 'I'd Much Rather Be With The Boys'. It's on Metamorphosis.

SALTY DOG (Trad. arr. Nanker Phelge) Rec (live in a dressing room) Sept. 3 or 4, 1965.* Rel: 1966 (film soundtrack, CHARLIE IS MY DARLING) M. Jagger: Vocal. K. Richard: Acoustic Guitar, Vocal. B. Jones: Vocal. C. Watts: Silly Noises.

*Doodled in a Irish dressing room, by Keith on acoustic guitar and vocals, joined by first Mick then Brian who bellows the pay off line - "I just wanna be your Salty Dog" - in a voice halfway between his speaking voice and his raspy "Wanna Be Your Man" voice, this trad. arr. British folk tune lasts about a minute and a half between detriotating into a litany of proto-Monty Python noises from Charlie.

GOIN' HOME (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Dec. 3 - 8, 1965. M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals, Shaker, Handclaps. K. Richard: Lead and Rhythm Guitars. B. Jones: Harmonica. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.* I. Stewart: Piano. Jack Nitszche: Tambourine.

*Jagger would record a guide vocal for Chris Farlowe's UK hit version of this in May 1966. This appeared on Metamorphosis. The other musicians were session men, including Andy White, the drummer who played on the Beatles' "Love Me Do" in lieu of Ringo in 1962. Jagger produced the session. **The U.S. Version of this song is almost two minutes shorter at 3:42 than the U.K. Version, which runs 5:38. The same take is used for both versions; the U.S. Version just fades early. ***Wyman is shown in a photograph during these sessions playing tambourine with a shoe, a fact which stuck in Oldham's mind too in the sleevenotes for BIG HITS, again, by process of elimination (and the fact that it does sound slightly heavy-handed, and maybe hit with something other than a hand), I'm sticking it here.

IT'S NOT EASY (Jagger, Richard) Rec: March 6 - 9, 1966. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Backing Vocal*. K. Richard: Lead Guitar(s?), Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Rhythm / Lead Guitar(?), Organ (?)**. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

*This backing vocal is sometimes misattributed to Jones for some reason; it's not. It's Jagger. **Brian said that he and Stu played keys on the fast ones, and Jack played on the slowies on the AFTERMATH sessions; never seen a mention of a non-Stone on this song (though that really means NADA!), but I'll give it tentatively to Brian.

I AM WAITING (Jagger, Richard) Rec: March 6 - 9, 1966. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Harmony Vocal. B. Jones: Dulcimer. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Jack Nitszche: Tambourine.

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Dec. 3 - 8, 1965. M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals. K. Richard: Acoustic Guitar, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Harpsichord or Organ, probably Harpsichord.* B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Finger-Cymbals. Jack Nitszche: Organ or Harpsichord, probably Organ.*

*A report for the Stones monthly has Jack on harpsichord and Brian on organ, but reversed their position the next month; every other source has agreed with the correction, so there you go.

THINK (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Dec. 3 - 8, 1965. M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals. K. Richard: Lead and Acoustic Guitars. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

*A different vocal take exists on bootleg. The original title of this song appears to have been "YOUR 19th Nervous Breakdown". For about two minutes, anyway. **Two separate tracks. ***Due a tape fault, the master of this 45 slows down near the end.

RIDE ON, BABY (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Dec. 3 - 8, 1965.* Rel: July 14, 1967 (U.S. LP, FLOWERS) M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals. K. Richard: Guitars, Backing Vocal, Autoharp**. B. Jones: Harpsichord, Marimba. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Congas, Tympani. Jack Nitszche: Piano.

*Other songs recorded on these days are LOOKING TIRED, a much-booted laid back country style song featuring Stu on piano, and AFTERMATH, a bluesy instrumental. **According to Jan 66's Stones Monthly, Charlie bought Keith the autoharp that the Human Riff zings on Ride On Baby.

PAINT IT, BLACK (Jagger, Richard) Rec: March 6 - 9, 1966. Rel: May 6, 1966 (U.S. 45) M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals, Castanets (?). K. Richard: Guitar, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Sitar and Acoustic Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass and Organ*. C. Watts: Drums. Jack Nitszche: Piano.**

*Actually a second bass line, played by Wyman punching the organ's pedals. Wyman actually re-arranged this song during the session into the famous 45 arrangment. ** It's not known if any evidence of the earlier arrangement still exists on tape. The original version and the CD Version are different mixes. The original is shorter by about ten seconds, the difference being mainly due to mastering speeds.

LONG LONG WHILE (Jagger, Richard) Rec: March 3 - 8, 1966.* Rel: May 13, 1966 (UK B-Side). M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Tambourine (?). K. Richard: Electric and Acoustic Guitars. B. Jones: Rhythm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Tambourine (?). I. Stewart: Organ. Jack Nitszche: Piano, Tambourine (?).

*Also recorded here was a version of THE TRACKS OF MY TEARS. This was never released, even on bootleg.

CON LE MIE LACRIME (Jagger, Richard, Danpa)* Rec: March 15, 1966. Rel: Nov. 6, 1981 (comp. LP, SLOW ROLLERS) M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: Acoustic Guitar, Arrangement. Mike Leander: Arrangment, Harpsichord(?). plus uncredited strings and possibly harpsichord.

*This is an Italian language version, recorded from scratch, of AS TEARS GO BY.

BETWEEN THE BUTTONS (LP) Released January 20, 1967

*The mono version of this track is about 13 seconds longer than the stereo mix.

MY OBSESSION (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Aug. 3 - 11* , Nov. 9 - 26 and Dec. 13, 1966. M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals, Handclaps. K. Richard: Guitar(s?), Harmony Vocals. B. Jones: Piano (?)**. B. Wyman: Bass, Handclaps. C. Watts: Drums, Handclaps. I. Stewart: Piano (?)**. Jack Nitszche: Handclaps (?).

*Brian Wilson was present for one of these RCA Sessions. He misdates the session to March though. **There doesn't appear to be a credit for piano attributed to one of the auxiliary pianists - despite the fact the style of the playing sounds a lot like Stu. If the song only took one session I'd be tempted so surmise that Jones wasn't present.(Mind you, Jones doesn' t seem to be on SHE SMILED SWEETLY) I'm hedging my bets here again. I mean, it could , I suppose, be Brian Wilson! That'd be a gas!!

BACK STREET GIRL (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Aug. 3 - 11 and Nov. 9 - 26 and Dec. 13, 1966. M. Jagger: Vocal, Castanets. K. Richard: Acoustic Guitar. B. Jones: Accordion, Glockenspiel. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Tambourine. Jack Nitszche: Harpsichord.*

*Performed as a overdub at the same time as the glock, according to a photo of the session.

CONNECTION (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Aug 3 -11 and Nov. 9 - 26, 1966. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Tambourine, Handclaps. K. Richard: Lead Vocal, Lead / Rhythm Guitars, Handclaps, Bass (?). B. Jones: Guitar (?).* B. Wyman: Bass (?).* C. Watts: Drums. I. Stewart: Piano.

*Participation seems doubtful. The mono version is a few seconds longer than the stereo.

SHE SMILED SWEETLY (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Aug 3 -11 and Nov. 9 - 26, 1966. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Backing Vocal, Tambourine (?). K. Richard: Organ, Backing Vocal. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Tambourine (?). Jack Nitszche: Piano, Tambourine (?).

COOL, CALM AND COLLECTED (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Aug 3 - 11 and Nov. 9 - 26, 1966. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal and Harmonica. K. Richard: Guitar, Kazoo.* B. Jones: Banjolele ( a Banjo-Ukelele)**. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Nicky Hopkins: Piano.

*You can tell, I think, by the sound of the kazoo that it's Keef. The kazoos also came out ('played' by Keith and Brian) during these sessions for a unreleased, but booted, and quite nonsensical cover of TROUBLE IN MIND, recorded at the November Olympic Studio dates. **Reportedly a child's toy.(!)

ALL SOLD OUT (Jagger, Richard)* Rec: Aug 3 - 11, Nov. 9 - 26 and Dec. 13, 1966. M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals, Congas. K. Richard: Lead / Rhythm Guitars, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Recorder. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. I . Stewart: Piano (?), Organ (?).** Jack Nitszche: Piano (?), Organ (?).**

*The original title of this song was "All Part of the Act". **Once again the keyboard credits are tough to substantiate. The keyboards could even be Brian or Bill, but I don't think it's likely.

PLEASE GO HOME (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Aug. 3 -11 and Nov. 9 -26, 1966. M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals, Maracas. K Richard: Guitars, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Cymbals*. I Stewart: Piano. Shirley Watts: Backing Vocal**(?).

*Possibly overdubbed later. Anyway they're so loud and heavy they're worth noting separately for once. **According to one report. I can't see it (or hear it) myself. Still....

WHO'S BEEN SLEEPING HERE? (Jagger. Richard) Rec: Aug 3 -11, Nov. 9 - 26 and Dec. 13, 1966. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Tambourine. K. Richard: Electric and Acoustic Guitars. B. Jones: Harmonica. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Jack Nitszche: Piano.

SONGS RECORDED AT THESE SESSIONS:

HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR MOTHER, BABY, STANDING IN THE SHADOW? (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Aug 3 -11 and Sept. 2, 1966.* Rel: Sept. 23, 1966 (UK / US 45) M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals, Fingerclicks, Tambourine (?). K. Richard: Guitars, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Tambourine (?). Jack Nitszche: Piano.** Mike Leander: Horn arrangement. plus uncredited trumpets. ***

*The horns were overdubbed at the September session. **Keith pretended to play the keyboard part on the Ed Sullivan Show (Sept. 11). ***Possibly including session man Eddie Thornton - originally the Stones tried saxes and other brass, but according to Keef at the time, everything dragged until the trumpets were brought in.

WHO'S DRIVING YOUR PLANE (Jagger, Richard)* Rec: Aug 3 -11** and Sept. 2, 1966.*** Rel: Sept. 23, 1966. (UK / US B-Side) M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: Guitars. B. Jones: Harmonica. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Jack Nitszche: Piano.

*The song was known is the US as "Who's Driving My Plane". **Also recorded at the August sessions: GET YOURSELF TOGETHER (also booted as I'LL FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER (no relation to the Byrds' song) and I CAN SEE IT) - an uptempto soul stomper, and three instrumentals/ rhythm tracks logged as "Godzi", "Panama Powder Room" and "Something Brigitte Bardot" aka "Something B.B.". These tracks were not re-used under other names, but have not been booted. ***It's possible an unused horn arrangement was recorded at the Sept. 2 session. Also recorded at that session was the orchestral overdubs on MY GIRL.

RUBY TUESDAY (Jagger, Richard)* Rec: Nov. 9 - 26, 1966. Rel: Jan. 13, 1967 (UK B-Side) M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals. K. Richard: 12 String Acoustic Guitars, Harmony Vocals, "Double Bass"**. B. Jones: Piano*** and Recorder. B. Wyman: Bass, Double Bass**. C. Watts: Drums, Tambourine.**** Jack Nitszche: Piano*****.

*Actually written by Jones (music) and Richard (lyrics). The working title of the track was "Title 8". **Wyman fretted the double bass, Keith bowed the notes. ***Keith pretended to play this piano when the Stones mimed it on the Ed Sullivan Show, Sunday Night at the London Palladium and Top Of The Pops during January 1967. On Sullivan, Brian joined in with the live chorus vocals, but is inaudible. The piano part was transposed to electric guitar when the Stones performed this song live in Europe in Spring '67. ****An instrumental version of this song exists on bootleg. A count in is audible on the master tape just prior to the instrumental coda. *****There seems to be a second, more 'honky-tonk' piano on the chorus. This is Nitzsche, as it's generally held that Brian played the main verse piano, but Nitszche has a credit for piano on the session too.

LET'S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Nov. 9 - 26, 1966. Rel: Jan. 13, 1967 (UK 45) M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals, Handclaps. K. Richard: Guitars, Bass*, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Guitar (?), Piano**, Organ.*** B. Wyman: Bass, Handclaps. C. Watts: Drums, Handclaps. Jack Nitszche: Piano, Woodblock (?)****

*There appears to be two basses on the record. Wyman attributes one to Keith, so... **Not the main piano, though Brian mimed this part when the Stones performed on TV during Jan. 1967. ***Brian played organ on the Spring 1967 live versions, neglecting any piano part. ****Oldham tells an unlikely story about policemen playing their truncheons (nightsticks) on the track...

DANDELION (Jagger, Richard)* Rec: Nov. 9 - 26, 1966 and June 12 -13, 1967. Rel: Aug. 18, 1967 (UK B-Side, US 45) M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals**, Maracas. K. Richard: 12 string Acoustic Guitar, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Harpsichord, Saxophone. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

*First the song was demoed as "Sometimes Happy, Sometimes Blue" with Keith running through guide vocal with 'la-la' words at one November session; the track then became known as "Fairground". It's not known whether the body of the track was recorded in 1967. The sound of the track argues against this, to me, at least. **One backing vocal seems to be raised in pitch artificially.

IF YOU LET ME (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Nov. 9 - 26, 1966.* Rel: June 6, 1975 (METAMORPHOSIS) M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals. K. Richard: Acoustic Guitar, Guitar (?). B. Jones: Guitar (?), Electric Piano (?). B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Jack Nitszche: Electric Piano (?).

*Also recorded at these sessions: 'finishing up' Godzi and GET YOURSELF TOGETHER, plus TROUBLE IN MIND and ENGLISH SUMMER (Set for a single, but unreleased and unbooted.) At the December session a song, possibly just a rhythm track or working title called 'It's Been Quiet Here At Home' was laid down.

GOT LIVE IF YOU WANT IT! (US LP) Released December 9, 1966.

UNDER MY THUMB (Jagger, Richard) Rec: (Live): Oct. 1, 1966 (Studio): Oct. 11 - 20, 1966 (approx.)* M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass, Backing Vocal. C. Watts: Drums.** I. Stewart: Marimba (?)***

*All studio overdubs performed on these dates, so it would be redundant to repeat these dates for every track. **The CD version reportedly has a different intro by the M.C. ***Inadequently miked. Unless Keith stupidly overdubbed a second guitar in the studio, that must be Stu on marimba, as two guitars can be clearly heard.

GET OFF OF MY CLOUD (Jagger, Richard) Rec: (live): Oct. 1, 1966 + studio. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass, Backing Vocal. C. Watts: Drums.

LADY JANE (Jagger, Richard) Rec: (live): Oct. 7, 1966 + studio. M. Jagger: Vocal. K. Richard: Electric Guitar. B. Jones: Electric Dulcimer.* B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

*Reportedly the first electric dulcimer, this instrument was stolen from a dressing room in 1967.

NOT FADE AWAY (Hardin, Petty) Rec: (live): Oct. 7, 1966 + studio. M. Jagger: Vocal, Maracas. K. Richard: Guitar. B. Jones: Harmonica. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Tambourine.*

*Mounted on the kit. presumably. I don't have a current copy of some of these songs on this wretched album, only a shortened English version released as a compilation called GIMMIE SHELTER - the London CD' has gone awol - so can't check up on what I'd written about this record. I presume you'll correct where appropriate.

THE LAST TIME (Jagger, Richard) Rec: (live): Oct. 1 + studio. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Tambourine. K. Richard: Lead / Rhythm Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Lead Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass, Backing Vocal. C. Watts: Drums.

19th NERVOUS BREAKDOWN (Jagger, Richard) Rec: (live): Oct. 1, 1966 + studio. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Tambourine. K. Richard: Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

TIME IS ON MY SIDE (Meade) Rec: (live): Oct. 7, 1966 + studio. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: Lead Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Rhythm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass, Backing Vocal. C. Watts: Drums.

I'M ALRIGHT (McDaniel) Rec: (live): Oct. 7, 1966 + studio. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Maracas. K. Richard: Lead Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Rhythm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR MOTHER, BABY, STANDING IN THE SHADOW? (Jagger, Richard) Rec: (live): Oct. 7, 1966 + studio. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Tambourine. K. Richard: Guitar, Backing Vocal. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums.

(I CAN'T GET NO) SATISFACTION (Jagger, Richard) Rec: (live): Oct. 7, 1966 + studio. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Tambourine, Handclaps. K. Richard: Rhythm / Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Lead / Rhythm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. I. Stewart: Piano*.

*Interestingly, despite the cover' s claim, this album was not recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall, but in Newcastle and Bristol. Old studio versions of FORTUNE TELLER and I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU TOO LONG had crowd noise spliced in during the mixing of the LP in October. Studio overdubs seem mainly to consist of vocals.

THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST (LP) Released December 8, 1967

SING THIS ALL TOGETHER (Jagger, Richard) Rec: July 7 -22, 1967. M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals, Percussion*. K. Richard: Guitar and Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Guitar, Hand-Drums (?), and Backing Vocals. B. Wyman: Bass, Backing Vocals, Percussion. C. Watts: Drum, Backing Vocals, Percussion. Nicky Hopkins: Piano, Mellotron, Backing Vocals, Percussion (?). Eddie Kramer, Miles**, Robert Fraser, Marianne Faithfull, Tom Keylock, John Lennon (?), Paul McCartney (?), Anita Pallenberg, Suki Poitier (?), Glyn Johns, Shirley Watts (?), Astrid Wyman: Backing Vocals, Hand-Drums, Tambourine, Guiros, Congas, Bongos, Cowbell(s), Glockenspiel, Maracas, Shaker, Claves, Bells, Assorted percussion.*** plus uncredited trumpets, poss. featuring Eddie Thornton.

*Obviously the percussion is impossible to attribute. **"Bangin' that pot!" according to Brian. Pot as in recepticle, not weed! ***The crowd is a bet-hedging based on reports. Some reports claim the two Beatles, there for We love You, Sang this All Together too.

CITADEL (Jagger, Richard) Rec: June 9 and Oct. 2 - 5, 1967. M. Jagger: Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals, Maracas. K. Richard: Guitar, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Mellotron, Saxophone, Harpsichord (?). B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Nicky Hopkins: Harpsichord (?), Piano.*

*Mixed down or out of the final mix, but present during the rhythm track recordings. Nicky is the safest bet for the harpsichord.

IN ANOTHER LAND (Bill Wyman)* Rec: Feb. 14 and 22, July 7 - 22, 1967. M. Jagger: Backing Vocals. K. Richard: Acoustic Guitar, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Mellotron. B. Wyman: Lead Vocals, Bass.** C. Watts: Drums. Nicky Hopkins: Harpsichord, Piano. Steve Marriott: Backing Vocals, Guitar (?)***.

*Working titles incuded 'Bill's Tune' and 'Acid In The Grass'. **Fitted with tremolo. The track at the end of Bill asleep, is credited on the tape box as "Snoring" (Wyman). **The idea that no Stones were present is a myth, as they are heard on the original recording tapes in February. The vocal sessions were not til July, which is when Marriott recorded his contribution. Marriott's Small Faces partner Ronnie Lane was also reputed to be there, according to one source. But if he is, he' s inaudible. Marriott's and the Stones' overdubbed backing vocals don't match, as can be proved by isolating each speaker.

2000 MAN (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Aug. 10 - 30, Sept. 1- 7, 1967, Oct. 16, 21 and 23, 1967. M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals. K. Richard: Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Rhythm Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Nicky Hopkins: Piano, Organ.

SING THIS ALL TOGETHER (SEE WHAT HAPPENS) (Jagger, Richard) Rec: July 7 -22, 1967.* M. Jagger: Lead and Harmony Vocals, Handclaps, Percussion, Bongos (?). K. Richard: Guitar and Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Guitar, Mellotron (?), Backing Vocals, Hand-Drums, Flute, Saxophone. B. Wyman: Bass, Backing Vocals, Percussion. C. Watts: Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals, Cymbals, Tympani (?). Nicky Hopkins: Piano, Mellotron, Backing Vocals, Percussion. Eddie Kramer, Miles, Robert Fraser, Marianne Faithfull, Tom Keylock, John Lennon (?), Paul McCartney (?), Anita Pallenberg, Suki Poitier (?), Glyn Johns, Shirley Watts (?), Astrid Wyman: Backing Vocals, Hand-Drums, Tambourine, Guiros, Congas, Bongos, Cowbell(s), Glockenspiel, Maracas, Shaker, Claves, Bells, Assorted percussion. plus uncredited trumpets, poss. featuring Eddie Thornton.

*Recorded with SING THIS ALL TOGETHER in one twelve minute track. On the LP, this track is suffixed with: COSMIC CHRISTMAS (Jagger, Richard? Wyman?) This is the snippet at the end, produced and engineered by Wyman, of a tortuous rendition of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" electronically altered, and the slowed-down Stones chanting "We Hate You" - Nice. The track was listed on the tape box, but was not listed on the LP sleeve.

SHE'S A RAINBOW (Jagger, Richard)* Rec: May 18, June 12 - 13, 1967. M. Jagger: Lead, Harmony and Backing Vocals**, Tambourine (?), Congas (?). K. Richard: 12 string Acoustic Guitar, Backing and Harmony Vocals, Guitar. B. Jones: Mellotron***, Violin (?), Viola (?), Cello (?).**** B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums, Congas (?), Tambourine (?). Nicky Hopkins: Piano. John Paul Jones: String Arrangement. Eddie Kramer: Congas or Tambourine.(?)*****

*The working title was 'Lady Fair'. Then it became 'Flowers in Her / Your Hair". **One set of Backing Vocals was electronically sped up. ***On a brass setting. ****Photos and Keith's remembrences (admittedly shaky) say that Brian was possibly an entire overdubbed string quartet. Go figure! While this may or may not be true, it was worth a mention. *****Two sets of percussion plus drums are heard simultaneously on the live rhythm track. As engineer Kramer played percussion elsewhere on the album, I've named him as a likely candidate for either the congas or tambourine, though Mick is most likely the tambourine.

THE LANTERN (Jagger, Richard) Rec: July 7-22 and Oct. 2 - 5, 1967. M. Jagger: Lead and Harmony Vocals. K. Richard: Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Harmony Vocals. B. Jones: Slide Guitar and Mellotron. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Nicky Hopkins: Piano. plus uncredited trumpets, possibly feautring Eddie Thornton.

GOMPER (Jagger, Richard)* Rec: Aug. 10 - 30 and Sept. 1 - 7, 1967. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Percussion. K. Richard: Electric Guitar and Harmony Vocal. B. Jones: Sitar, Panflute, Morrocan Drum. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Tabla. Nicky Hopkins: Mellotron.

*Originally known as "The Lady, The Lillies and the Lake".

2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Aug. 10 - 30 and Sept. 1 - 7, 1967.* M. Jagger: Lead and Backing Vocals**, Maracas. K. Richard: Guitars, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Mellotron. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Nicky Hopkins: Piano. Eddie Kramer: Claves.***

*This originally featured a strange intro with children chanting the Stones' names like a nursery rhyme. **Jagger's backing vocal is electronically sped up. ***Mixed down.

ON WITH THE SHOW (Jagger, Richard) Rec: July 7 - 22, 1967. M. Jagger: Lead Vocal, Maracas (?), Claves (?), Guiro (?), Cowbell (?), Tambourine (?). K. Richard: Guitar. B. Jones: Harp*, Mellotron. B.

Eddie Kramer: Maracas (?), Claves (?), Guiro (?), Cowbell (?), Tambourine (?).**

*An actual stringed harp, not a harmonica. **Obviously the percussion overdubs are hard to accredit. I've just listed what there is and the usual suspects to be on the safe side.

**An electric take of FAMILY was also run through during these sessions. At the June sessions, three cuts were laid down about which nothing is known: 'Too Far To Walk', 'Power Cut' and 'Thief for the Blues' - were they rhythm tracks, working titles or finished songs?

One of the lyrical themes were re-used for WINTER. **A ten minute blues, this is absolutely fantastic.

Also recorded in May, 1968 were early takes of SISTER MORPHINE and LOVE IN VAIN.

*The working title for this song was 'Positano Primo'. Positano was the place in Italy where Mick and Keith had written the song. **At the April sessions, the Stones also recorded a song (which could be a working title) called WHEN OLD GLORY COMES ALONG. It hasn't been booted.

At the June / July sessions, the Stones recorded a marathon numbers of tracks, bound for different fates: JIVING SISTER FANNY (a 12 bar chugger), I'M GOING DOWN (which was worked on July 14 -1 5, 1970, wherein Stephen Stills overdubbed guitar and Bill Plumme dubbed upright bass) and I DON'T KNOW WHY (a Stevie Wonder song that also exists in a longer version on bootleg) - these three all ended up on Metamorphosis in 1975; DON' T KNOW WHY was an unsanctioned A-Side in May 1975 and JIVING was likewise a B-Side in August of that year also. Both flopped).

Exile's SWEET VIRGINIA and STOP BREAKING DOWN began their life here, dubbed and overdubbed during the 1970 - 72 period, and an acoustic, much-booted demo of ALL DOWN THE LINE with incomplete words was laid down too. The beginnings of the official take were taped later in the month. The Exile quintet (see below for info on SHINE A LIGHT) are completed by a completely different take at LOVING CUP, here called 'Gimme a Drink' and played at Hyde Park in July. The alternate take is 6:30 long and is available on boot. The official take, sans overdubs and running 5:42, was also reputedly put down at this time.

Finally, there was the unbooted THE VULTURE (unless it's also known as (I'M A) HIGHWAY CHILD, in which case it has been booted.), TOSS THE COIN (which is definitely unbooted), plus the booted I DON'T THE REASON WHY, a seven and a half minute track heavily featuring Bobby Keys.

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Nov. 16, 17, 1968 and March 15, 1969.* M. Jagger: Lead Vocals, Maracas (?). K. Richard: Electric and Acoustic Guitars. B. Wyman: Bass.

Nanette Newman, Madeline Bell, Doris Troy: Backing Vocals, Handclaps. plus the London Bach Choir**.

*Brian Jones missed these sessions, preferring to 'read a book on Botany'. A single version, two and a half minutes shorter than the album version was released as the B-Side of HONKY TONK WOMEN. *Added at the 1969 session.

OTHER SONGS RECORDED AT THESE SESSIONS:

HONKY TONK WOMEN [VERSION ONE] (Jagger, Richard)* Rec: Mar. 10 - 11, 16**?), May 12, 14, 25, 28, 1969. Rel: Not released. M. Jagger: Lead Vocals. K. Richard: Lead and Rhythm Guitars, Backing Vocals. B. Jones: Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Nicky Hopkins: Piano. S. Gregory: Sax***. G. Beadle: Sax***. Madeline Bell (and others): Backing Vocals.****

*Ry Cooder claims the Stones stole this from him. Brian Jones' father claims that Brian arranged it. **At this session the Stones recorded something called 'Pennies From Heaven', which became something else (we don't know what), and a song called THE JIMMY MILLER SHOW. What that is is unknown, as it's never been booted. ***Recorded on 25 May. ****Recorded on 28 May. Scrapped in favour of:

HONKY TONK WOMEN (Jagger, Richard) Rec: June 1 - 7, 1969. Rel: July 3, 1969 (UK / US 45) M. Jagger: Lead Vocals. K. Richard: Lead and Rhythm Guitars, Backing Vocals. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. I. Stewart: Piano.(?) Nicky Hopkins: Piano (?) Mick Taylor: Lead Guitar.* Bobby Keys: Saxophones.(?) S. Gregory: Sax (?). G. Beadle: Sax (?). Jimmy Miller: Cowbell. Reparta and the Delrons (Mary Aiese, Lorainne Mazzola and Nanette Licars): Backing Vocals.(?) Nanette Newman: Backing Vocals (?).

*Brian Jones' guitar tracks were presumably wiped and replaced with Taylor's. Taylor apparently plays the fills in between verses.

MEMO FROM TURNER (Stones version) (Jagger, Richard) Rec: Nov. 17, 1968. Rel: June 6 ,1975 (LP, METAMORPHOSIS) M. Jagger: Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar (?). K. Richard: Lead and Rhythm Guitars, Acoustic Guitars (?)*. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Al Kooper: Piano, Organ.

*Jagger is more likely to have been acoustic guitar here. This is not the version released on single, for the Performance soundtrack, but the rejected Stones version. The other version featured Mick and members of Traffic. Jagger also recorded a short, solo acoustic COME ON IN MY KITCHEN for the soundtrack, accompanying ihmself on guitar. Also, Jagger delivered the Moog based insturmental soundtrack for Kenneth Anger's Invocation of My Demon Brother (rel. 1969) at around this time.

The next thing the Stones recorded, on Dec 10 - 11, 1968, was the Rock N' Roll Circus program, which was eventually released in 1996. The Stones, augmented by Nicky Hopkins (piano) and Rocky Dijon (congas, maracas), played: JUMPIN' JACK FLASH, PARACHUTE WOMAN (feat. Mick on harmonica), YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, NO EXPECTATIONS (plus an unreleased alternat etake with Mick on acoustic guitar), SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL (w/ Brian uncomfortably shuffling the maracas), ROUTE 66 (unreleased), YONDER' S WALL (unreleased), WALKIN' BLUES (unreleased), CONFESSIN' THE BLUES (unreleased) and sang along with the track of SALT OF THE EARTH. In addition, Keith played bass with 'The Dirty Mac', John Lennon's ad hoc band. Multiple takes of most of the Stones songs were recorded. Two weeks previous, the Stones laid down a track of SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL for Frost on Saturday. Keith sang back-ups, played guitar and (uncommonly) a bit of tambourine, Rocky Dijon played congas, Brian played piano and he and Bill apparently sang back-ups into 'dead' mikes, according to James Karnbach. Unfortunately , this program has not turned up on bootleg audio or video.

SISTER MORPHINE (Jagger, Richard, Faithfull)* Rec: March 22 - 23**, 28, 30***, 31****, 1969 Rel: April 23, 1971 (LP, STICKY FINGERS) M. Jagger: Lead Vocal. K. Richard: Acoustic Guitar. B. Wyman: Bass. C. Watts: Drums. Jack Nitszche: Piano. Ry Cooder: Slide Guitar.

*Faithfull was not mentioned on early pressing of Sticky Fingers. **Brian Jones attempted to play on this early take, unsucessfully on congas, then on harmonica. Mick told him to "just go home". A song named I WAS A COUNTRY BOY was laid down on the March 23 session. The instrumental track is available on bootleg, but reputably a vocal version exists. Jones apparently plays on this. ***The Stones (sans Brian) also recorded a jam they dubbed 'Busk Up' on this day. ****Also recorded (without Brian) at this session were two booted rhythm tracks, 'French Gig' and 'Aladdin Story', and an ealry stab at SHINE A LIGHT, from Exile on Main St. The Stones had another bash at this on June 10 - July 2, 1969 and July 23, 1970 and finally Dec. 1971 - Mar. 1972. They returned to 'Aladdin Story' on Oct. 17 -31, 1970.

Next Jagger, Wyman, Watts, Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder recorded a 'jam' album waiting for Keith or Brian to show up (they never did) on April 23 , 1969. This was released as JAMMING WITH EDWARD (Edward being Hopkins' nickname) in 1972. The LP consisted of: BLOW WITH RY, BOUDOIR STOMP, EDWARD' S THRUMP UP, INTERLUDE A LA EL HOPO, HIGHLAND FLING and IT HURTS ME TOO. Left on the cutting room floor were CURTIS MEETS SMOKEY, SO FINE (the old 50s number by the Fiestas, also covered by Clarence White on the Byrds' Farther Along LP?)and another stab at / ovedubs on Wyman's DOWNTOWN SUZIE. Jagger plays harmonica and sings a little, particularly on IT HURTS ME TOO. Six days later, the Stones (minus Brian, but plus Stu) recorded another jam they dubbed 'Mucking About'. They would commit an untitled blues jam to tape on June 14 too. Brian, meanwhile, was spending his last month alive taping his own songs at his home. Some are untitled blues instrumentals, but some are actual songs with vocals, most notably CHOW TIME and HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY BABY? (ironically close to the name of a 1997 Stones single). These remain unbooted. Brian was also reportedly fond of singing Dylan's 'To Be Alone With You' at this time, so maybe that would've been taped. Precious little exists of Brian's solo output - aside from the Degree of Murder soundtrack, composed by Brian and featuring Jimmy Page, Kenny Jones and singer Peter Gosling - but NME journalist Keith Altham remembers hearing a strange, experimental tape that sounded like chanting c. 1966 and ex-girlfriend Linda Lawrence says that Brian played her his songs regularly but dismissed them as "too sentimental". Apparently they were "romantic and spiritual" and "about his feelings". Jones left some of them with Al Aronowitz. The lyric sheet is titled "(THANK YOU) FOR BEING THERE?! and some of it runs thus:

A need for satisfaction grows, But they're stories to be told. Of experience and fantasies Of visions and fears. But when the visions fade - you'll be there.

The Brian Jones era was over.

THE LYRICS TO "THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE", WRITTEN BY BRIAN!:
(source--Mandy Aftel's book Death of A Rolling Stone, the Brian Jones Story)

As each sharp outline
Melts & weaves
And undulates in time
With the compulsive

Rhythmic insistence
Of each pounding musical line
The scornful dancing lady dressed
In black at last reveals
She really isn't there at all
She simply isn't real.
So thank you for being there
-My love
At least I know that you're real.

As I speak with you of love
-In metaphors and in code
A need for satisfaction grows
But they're stories still to be told
Of experience and fantasies
Of vision and of fears
But when the visions fade
-you'll be there
Lying in my tears
Thank you for being there my love
Then I know that you're real.

If the lashing tail of paranoic fears
Strike my smarting face
Your understanding comforts me
And puts everything in its place.
So shush, my love,
Your look and your touch
can leave everything unsaid
And I can face all those
little people
Just like Gulliver did.
Thank you for being there, my love
At last I've found someone who's real.

The maniacal choirs that screamed out a warning
Now sings a lullaby
The walls that crashed to bury you and me
Now shelter our hideaway
Thank you for being there, my love
At last I've found someone that's real
Thank you for being there, my love
At last I know that you're real.
