For better or worse though many of these had a typical 80's polish to them, lacking spontaniety \u0026amp; \"soul\" for the sake of \"perfection\", \u0026amp; 'Ebony And Ivory' (both with \u0026amp; without Stevie Wonder) is typical of this.  The non-album 'Rainclouds' was co-written by Denny Laine so is probably an older song, \u0026amp; it's not bad either.  \u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e4 / 4\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca onblur\u003d\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href\u003d\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W7JwLq7mjfk/StO0Ok2F21I/AAAAAAAACGU/vnQjaFgTjZY/s1600-h/PM-32a.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg style\u003d\"cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 288px;\" src\u003d\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W7JwLq7mjfk/StO0Ok2F21I/AAAAAAAACGU/vnQjaFgTjZY/s320/PM-32a.jpg\" alt\u003d\"\" id\u003d\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391851341394336594\" border\u003d\"0\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTake It Away / I'll Give You A Ring\u003c/span\u003e (12\" also includes \u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDress Me Up As A Robber\u003c/span\u003e) (June 1982) \u003cspan style\u003d\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eUK # 15\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe A-side while an OK semi-rocker lacks the drive of old, \u0026amp; far better is 'I'll Give You A Ring', a song which dates back to the early 70s but hadn't been released (or recorded?) until now.

Also included on the CD singles were excerpts from Paul's U.S.-only 'Oobu Joobu' radio series.  \u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e4 / 4 / 4\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca onblur\u003d\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W7JwLq7mjfk/StOy5zpvTrI/AAAAAAAACDs/Q1TpbWvIfxg/s1600-h/PM-56.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg style\u003d\"cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 288px;\" src\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W7JwLq7mjfk/StOy5zpvTrI/AAAAAAAACDs/Q1TpbWvIfxg/s320/PM-56.jpg\" alt\u003d\"\" id\u003d\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391849885080178354\" border\u003d\"0\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe World Tonight / Used To Be Bad\u003c/span\u003e (CD single includes \u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eReally Love You\u003c/span\u003e) (July 1997) \u003cspan style\u003d\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eUK # 23\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eEven better than the previous single, this double-tracked \"Paul duet\" deserved to do much better in the charts.

'From A Lover To A Friend' is a rather nondescript piano-based ballad that could easily have been recorded in the early 80s (though Paul's vocals show their age here), \u0026amp; 'Riding Into Jaipur' has an interesting Eastern feel though it's not much of a song.  As for 'Freedom'... I really have mixed feelings over this one, as there's no doubt that this is a very sincere reaction to 9 /11, but at the same time it's a long way from The Beatles' usual \"Love \u0026amp; Peace\" message (the song was cruelly dubbed \"Give War A Chance\" by some fans!).

For this article I'm concentrating on their U.S. rather than U.K. singles for two reasons: they released far more records in the U.S.A. during their 1964-1967 commercial peak than they did in the U.K. (often including songs not released elsewhere) ; and many of these singles featured exclusive picture sleeves which (where possible) I've featured in this post, though I've substituted other sleeves when none were issued for U.S. singles.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca onblur\u003d\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href\u003d\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W7JwLq7mjfk/Ssh8YKIMQxI/AAAAAAAACBc/JXxT6fqSAqw/s1600-h/1-dc5.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg style\u003d\"cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 196px;\" src\u003d\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W7JwLq7mjfk/Ssh8YKIMQxI/AAAAAAAACBc/JXxT6fqSAqw/s200/1-dc5.jpg\" alt\u003d\"\" id\u003d\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388693708626215698\" border\u003d\"0\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eI Walk The Line / First Love\u003c/span\u003e (Rust 5078, 1964)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003ePrior to signing with Columbia in the U.K. \u0026amp; Epic in the U.S.A. the band released three flop singles on the budget Ember \u0026amp; Piccadilly labels in the U.K., \u0026amp; these were also released in the U.S.A. on other minor labels.

If they'd released A-sides like this \u0026amp; 'Inside And Out' at the time instead of lightweight pop songs then they might've been taken a bit more seriously by the music critics.   Both U.S. \u0026amp; U.K. releases featured the same two songs, but after this the two were rarely the same, with far more singles released in their homeland.

Keith songwriter demos that didn’t even feature the other Stones), nor has there been a collection of their BBC radio performances.  There are some signs that this is beginning to change though: perhaps as the group realise that their archive recordings sell better than their new albums they’re now authorising expanded reissues of albums like ‘Get Yer Ya-Yas Out’ \u0026amp; ‘Exile On Main Street’.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eMy personal favourite Rolling Stones era are those first few years from their rhythm ‘n’ blues origins in 1963 up until early 1967’s vastly under-rated ‘Between The Buttons’ (\u0026amp; prior to their flirtation with psychedelia on ‘Their Satanic Majesties Request’).  Below I’ve attempted to compile a list of 50 of the more fascinating unreleased gems from these years, songs that would make a very worthwhile first volume if they ever decide to release a series of ‘Anthology’- type double CDs.

Fairly well recorded for the time though lacking in bass, the most dominant musicians here are Ian Stewart \u0026amp; (on harmonica) Brian Jones, with Keith’s guitar generally taking a secondary role.   ‘Diddley Daddy’ \u0026amp; ‘Bright Lights Bright City’ are particularly good \u0026amp; even ‘I Want To Be Loved’ (re-recorded a few months later for the B-side of their first single ‘Come On’) is very authentic-sounding.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e7.

The other two songs are also by Chuck Berry of course, \u0026amp; while they went on to record better versions of his songs these still remain more than OK.  All three songs circulate in fabulous quality thanks to an early eighties BBC rebroadcast, though the other two songs from this session (‘Money’ \u0026amp; ‘Talkin’ ‘bout You’) haven’t resurfaced yet, nor have the three songs performed by the late great Bo Diddley himself \u0026amp; backed by Brian, Bill \u0026amp; Charlie that day.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e10.

Perhaps less essential are their versions of Tommy Tucker’s R\u0026amp;B standard ‘High Heel Sneakers’ (also recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis a few weeks later) \u0026amp; Chuck’s ‘Reelin’ \u0026amp; Rockin’ which is re-interpretated here as a medium-paced blues, but these are hardly embarrassments either.

Part of the problem is the instrumentation; instead of the sparse later recordings here we have several session players with brass, strings, guitars, dobro, etc, \u0026amp; even the drumming doesn’t sound like Micky on most songs (he was only featured as one of at least two session drummers on this album, not becoming Chas \u0026amp; Dave’s permanent drummer until two years later).

Highlights include the ‘50’s rock ‘n’ roll of ‘Darlin’ C’mon’, ‘Real Wild Child’ (which also features J.I. on lead vocals), Bob Dylan’s ‘She Belongs To Me’, Buddy Holly’s ‘Tell Me How’, Gene Vincent’s ‘Lotta Lovin’’, \u0026amp; a revival of Chas \u0026amp; Dave’s own ‘Billy Tyler’.  \u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e4 / 5\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca onblur\u003d\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href\u003d\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W7JwLq7mjfk/SsKjluKTR4I/AAAAAAAAB0k/Vd625xSO_1o/s1600-h/Chas_Hodges.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg style\u003d\"cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;\" src\u003d\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W7JwLq7mjfk/SsKjluKTR4I/AAAAAAAAB0k/Vd625xSO_1o/s320/Chas_Hodges.jpg\" alt\u003d\"\" id\u003d\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387047972730259330\" border\u003d\"0\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eChas Hodges\u003c/span\u003e (2009)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eDidn't Wanna Do It In The First Place / No Set List / I'm Outta Here / The Ghost Is Laid / In Among The Sweet Things / Skinny Cats / Don't Want No Truck / Poor Man Down / Hungarian Rhapsody Rock / Making Up For Lost Time / Nobody's Gonna Pine / She's Turnin' Monkey On Me / Last Kiss\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThis curiously low-key album actually sounds like a collection of home-recorded demos rather than a finished album, with often very rudimentary backing, in particular the bass \u0026amp; drums.

He played two very entertaining \u0026amp; energetic sets, the 1st featuring mostly Jerry Lee Lewis songs (including less obvious numbers such as ‘I’ll Make It All Up To You’ \u0026amp; ‘What’s Made Milwaukee Famous') whilst telling anecdotes about Jerry Lee over the years, \u0026amp; the 2nd set featuring mostly Chas \u0026amp; Dave classics.  Some worked better without Dave than others; songs like ‘That Old Piano’, ‘I Wonder In Whose Arms You Are Tonight’ \u0026amp; ‘Ain’t No Pleasing You’ sounded as passionate as always, but other songs (in particular ‘London Girls’) really needed some harmonies (the new guy Darren whilst an excellent bass player remains almost silent vocally), \u0026amp; anthems like ‘Gertcha’, ‘Rabbit’ \u0026amp; ‘The Sideboard Song’ were played much too fast though Chas coped extremely well singing these all by himself.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eBriefly before the show \u0026amp; for a little longer afterwards I chatted to Chas (though I’d also met him both with \u0026amp; without Dave a couple of times previously back in the ‘80’s \u0026amp; ‘90’s).

Most of the titles are self-explanatory, but From These Small Beginnings covers all of the 1962-1963 period (\u0026amp; is probably my personal favourite of these collections), Turn Left At Greenland covers the historic first visit to the USA in February 1964, Down Under covers the June 1964 Australian \u0026amp; New Zealand tour, \u0026amp; Palais \u0026amp; Plazas – Telecast 1965 covers the June 1965 European tour plus other 1965 UK events.  Most of these are reasonably easy to find amongst other collectors though the British Lions \u0026amp; All Green collections seem a bit harder to come by.

Contrary to previous speculation, the overdubs weren’t made because the original performances were inferior, but rather it was because of some sub-standard mixes (for example Paul’s harmony is inaudible during ‘Act Naturally’ \u0026amp; the lead guitar is often too quite), but this rawer mix is far more enjoyable!\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca onblur\u003d\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W7JwLq7mjfk/Srvr6SvxttI/AAAAAAAABsc/WTKXfvS9aD0/s1600-h/36.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg style\u003d\"cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 320px;\" src\u003d\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W7JwLq7mjfk/Srvr6SvxttI/AAAAAAAABsc/WTKXfvS9aD0/s320/36.jpg\" alt\u003d\"\" id\u003d\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385157166148728530\" border\u003d\"0\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Complete Cartoon Series\u003c/span\u003e (no label) (2 DVDs)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eLastly the joker of the pack...
