When the remasters were being hyped in press pre-release, one of the principles involved mentioned a stereo version of Satisfaction as his greatest find while doing the research and recovery effort.
So here's my question: where is it in the new series? It's not on "Hot Rocks". I'm weary of shelling out the cash for a new version of "the London Years" because the first version really sounded less than stellar and quite muffled to me. |

Actually, I think it is on Hot Rocks... |

This must be the version I was talking about the other day. A radio station here in OZ has been playing it for about ten years to my knowlege, but I can never find it on any CD collection. This is the version where the acoustic guitar is much higher up in the mix, much better. |

GMF-- I don't know about anywhere else, but there is a wide stereo version of Satisfaction on the German Decca Hot Rocks. Basically, most of the recognizable music (lead, bass, drums) is on the left channel and the piano and acoustic guitar are on the right. I was led to believe that the Hot Rocks SACD was to have a narrow stereo version of Satisfaction. However, I have not heard it so I'm not sure.

That would make sense Stonesthrow, the radio station in question here is what I would describe as a SAFE station, 60s, 70s, & 80s, all aimed at the 30-60 age bracket. It would be likely for this station to have gotten a hold of 'Hot Rocks'pressed in Germany. My 'Hot Rocks' is a UK pressing nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe you could help me with something, when I was quite young I was at a party one night, and someone rolled up with big brothers record collection(very brave), an old American pressing of 'Hot Rocks' was in this pile of LPs. I put it on, and could swear that 'Brown Sugar'& 'Wild Horses' were completely different to the excepted versions that are on that album today. Did the original 'Hot Rocks'contain demo versions of these two songs? And would it have had something to do with The Klein problem? |

GMF-- I checked my Decca Hot Rocks for BS and WH. Both sound to me like the normal hit versions. No demos here.
If you were talking about the vinyl Hot Rocks, my version is the regular American version. Both songs are also the hit versions. I don't know where you could have heard alternate "demo" takes, especially that long ago.

Stonesthrow, I am talking original American vinyl. I myself had the aforementioned US vinyl, but as you say regular 'Sticky Fingers' versions of both songs. It is a great mystery to me, or maybe I just dreamt the whole party. No it definately happened! And those two songs on that copy at the party were much more raw, and stripped back, more acoustic. |

You have something fairly RARE there guy! A VERY limited number of the original HOT ROCKS initial pressing contained 'different' versions of BS and WH....I am assuming the BS has NO sax on it [like the version heard n GIMME SHELTER]? And the WH is missing the MT solos? I would check those out on some collector's website! |

Stonesprofessor, are you telling me I was not imagining what I heard? There actually were pressings of that album with different versions of BS & WH? I'm thinking maybe the WHs version on that ultra-rare CD is the same? |

The alternate �Hot Rocks� tracks could be the same ones played in �Gimme Shelter�, but are both mixed differently and were no way ready for official release.
Brown Sugar - no sax, an added lead guitar which sounds like Keith�s - mixed down as opposed to the movie - weaves in and out throughout the song. Into the sax break, there�s a weak lead and Mick calls out �Y�all taste good!�. At the start of the song the drums come in way too loud and someone hurriedly turns them down.
Wild Horses - vocals are much more �echoey� than the movie version and mixed up front. No background vocals or electric guitars. Jim Dickinson�s acoustic piano playing is is much more prominent.
As for stereo �Satisfaction�, there�s a version on the bootleg �Dartford Renegades�. Best thing about it is that you can really hear Brian Jones� acoustic guitar - buried in the mono mix - an understated gem that helps carry the song along. |

I have the stereo 'Satisfaction' on the German Hot Rocks, but I'll still take the mono version any day-the mono 'Satisfaction' has more punch to it.
And the same thing applies to the mono vs. stereo version of 'Get Off My Cloud'.
Stereo '19th Nervous Breakdown'? Now that's one tune that really rocks out in stereo!
