i really never would've guessed before this whole thing started that "Sway" was widely considered the best song on Sticky Fingers

Crashing this thread to post the Charlie-cam version of "Monkey Man." This would have been my #1 pick (then "Paint It Black", then "Sway")
Anyway, here's Charlie. This is one of my most favorite things ever.

"worried about you" is said to have been a black and blue outtake. don't know of any others.
― BEMORE SUPER FABBY (contenderizer), Friday, 13 April 2012 20:05 (twelve years ago) link
"worried about" you timing adds up given that it's Wayne Perkins on the solo, who also plays on "hand of fate"
will have to give b&b another try but on the face of it it's tattoo you in a walk

Just been browsing this thread while on a bit of a '60s-'70s Stones kick, and came across this...
I know it from the London Years box & remain puzzled about why the cd case says it's "Child of the Moon (rmk)". Was there an original version?― Euler, Wednesday, April 4, 2012 2:55 PM (3 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
― Euler, Wednesday, April 4, 2012 2:55 PM (3 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
Better a late response than no response, I guess, but I was confused about the same thing up until fairly recently thinking that "rmk" meant that the track was in some way a "re-make" and there was an original version out there. In actual fact, "RMK" is Allen Klein's daughters initials.

I can say with confidence that Voodoo Lounge is pretty good: lots of jams, and "Out of Tears" isn't embarrassing.

It's such a shame that the '60s Stones discography is still quite messy, with both US and UK versions still available... I would have thought they would have tidied that up like The Beatles did, by sticking with the UK versions and putting all the odds and ends on compilations, a la Past Masters.

Ah, yeah... the '60s Stones catalogue is ABKCO owned isn't it? You can see why McCartney sued the rest of The Beatles to dissolve their partnership in the early '70s.

You're wrong about 'Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?', that's a great one IMO. I love how stuffed the production is, and the middle 8 ("Tell me a story about how you adore me" etc.) is one of their finest.
'As Tears Go By' also a beautiful tune. The Stones were always good at that kind of track.

I can support the production on "Have You Seen Your Mother..." over the awkward, too pretty Jagger vocal on "As Tears..."
― recriminations from the nitpicking woke (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 19 April 2019 00:50 (five years ago) link
I'll take the beautiful Jagger vocal on 'As Tears Go By' over his pisstakey vocal on 'Far Away Eyes' or when he lapses into comedy Jamaican accents.
