Black Box - CD 4
1. Confessin' The Blues - True Stereo Version. That Mick Jagger blows a real mean harp man.
2. I've Been Loving You Too Long - The true studio version without the fake audience screaming added by Glynn Johns on the "Got Live If You Want It!" album. The particular version first appeared on the German LP "For Collector's Only" in the mid Seventies.
3. Poison Ivy - This is an alternate version to that heard on "More Hot Rocks (big hits & fazed cookies)". It has a percussive scrape added during the chorus. It is also found on several import re-issue LP's put out by Decca in the Seventies.
4. Fortune Teller - The true studio version without the fake audience screaming added by Glynn Johns on the "Got Live If You Want It!" album.
5. Time Is On My Side - Organ introduction version.
6. Con Le Mi Lacrime - As Tears Go By sung by Jagger in Italian with added harpsichord! Officially released in the Sixties on a 7" single with Picture Sleeve.
7. Da Doo Ron Ron - Officially released but not easy to find. It a demo with Jagger and The Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra.
8. We Love You - The heavy melotron laden instrumental version.
9. Dandelion - Early Keith Richards vocal work out. A.k.a. Sometimes Happy, Sometimes Blue.
10. 19th Nervous Breakdown - True Stereo Version with alternate vocal.
11. Yesterdays Papers - Early demo version with Jagger "producing" the vocal and arrangement.
12. Gimme Shelter - Keith Richards vocal version with piano accented introduction.
13. Sister Morphine - "Ready" intro version. There is an arpeggio versus strummed guitar accompaniment in the opening bars of the song. Ry Cooder shows up at 1:56 with the alternate slide arrangement.
14. Brown Sugar - "Hot Rocks" XZAL 11018 Shelley version, specifically with matrix number date of 11-18-71. This is closer to the demo version heard in the hotel room scene in the movie "Gimme Shelter".
15. Wild Horses - "Hot Rocks" XZAL 11018 Shelley version, specifically with matrix number date of 11-18-71. There is noticeable vocal reverb added on this take.
16. Sister Morphine - Original Vocal Version by co-writer Marianne Faithfull! Complete with the Cooder slide and organ. One of the most compelling vocals she has ever recorded. Maybe only second to Why D'ya Do It!
17. (Marianne Faithful)/Rare Telephone Call From Japan - King Record Company interview. This was originally included in early rare versions of "Beggars Banquet" issued in Japan. The recording also surfaced on the late Seventies unauthorized LP "100% Odd Lots or the Best of the Rest". (03.1968)
