Say, is there a version of Criss Cross man without that fuzzy sound near the end, like a static TV. It ruins the song. |

What boot are you listening to it from? |

Well, I downloaded it from Kazza, there are actually quite a few boot's on there, I've gotten well over a hundred now. It kind of help's, that whay a person knows what's good and what's bad. Although, I would like to start collecting more boot's, downloading is getting me a few. |

I think it is actually Criss Cross Mind.
I can;'t help you with your question, but does anyone else hear Brown sugar and Iorr amongst that song? I swear there are parts of both. |

It's been listed as Criss Cross, Criss Cross Man, and Save Me, but what Jagger is actually singing is Criss Cross Mind. There are shades of IORR& Brown Sugar, and the two versions on Acetates are pretty clean. |

I actually own 3 different versions/mixes/alternate takes of this song with varying degrees of quality amongst them all. If I had any brains, I'd be able to burn copies for people. Unfortunately, I don't have a burner. As a trade for a ticket to the Oakland show, I was given a shitload of cd's that contain every single studio bootleg that is known to exist, give or take a few.
The first Stones bootleg I ever owned 25 yrs, ago was a vinyl version of Hyde Park that was completely warped and scratched with the worst sound quality you could imagine. I thought I had a goldmine at the time though, and included as a bonus track at the end was a version of Criss Cross - version #1. |

Ha, yeah I can see howe you get element's of those song's in that one. Once you tune your guitar to open G, and lay a finger on it, you almost get the stones sound right away. I really like Criss Cross, it's a damn good song. Some of these boot's are really good takes, they should have slapped another album together in that time, although I don't know the chords yet, I'm itching to learn that tune, very up beat. |

I've always wondered about that "woman walking 'round in the rain" lyric -- I could swear that he's saying "Woman walk around with a razor wanna use it every night". |

Depends on what she wants to use it for!!

This is a great rocker which I don't know why they left off of Goat's Head Soup. Would have started off that album nicely, IMO. I love the line "I think I need a blood transfusion", an interesting foreshadow to Keith's urban legend. |
