Rolling Stones/Unreleased Sessions Vol.1 & 2

This month, the Stones' studio outtake sound source was suddenly released. It's awe-inspiring to come here and discover even the rare sound sources of the studio. It was released in two parts titled ``FOXES IN THE BOXES,'' but fans all over the world will be thrilled if it is released in a convenient package CD that combines those audio sources into one. It's sure to be a wild release! This time's sound source is mainly session sound source from "UNDERCOVER" and "DIRTY WORK", but each one is very valuable content, so let's introduce each song. 1. Neighbors 2. Let’s Go Steady Again However, the first part of Part 1 is a rare sound source from ’79 “EMOTIONAL RESCUE”. This is the first sound source that suddenly appears from "Neighbors", which will later be included in the album "TATTOO YOU". Like the rough mix sound source heard so far, the lead guitar by Keith, which was turned off in later albums, sounds from the beginning, but Mick's vocal take is completely different from that. As was mentioned in the explanation of JEMS this time, this is probably a temporary song. His singing style is also completely different. Above all, the sound quality is amazing with overwhelming clarity. “Let’s Go Steady Again” sung by Keith was the same as what could be heard before in “STATIC IN THE ATTIC 1974-1979” etc. 3. Tried To Talk Her Into It This is where the “UNDERCOVER” sound source begins. As JEMS explains, this song is an outtake that was previously heard on "CHAIN ​​SAW MASSACRE." In the commentary, it is an improved version of that sound quality, but the correct answer is that this is a take of "CHAIN ​​SAW ~" with the piano and the pedal steel guitar played by Ronnie added, and a different mix that evolved from there. is. Certainly, the sound quality itself is clearer than "CHAIN ​​SAW ~". I thought it was an unfinished song from the time of "CHAIN ​​SAW~", but I was surprised to see that it was still being worked on. 4. Keep It Cool This is an outtake that until now was known only by the song name on the Complete Works site. Although it is a slow number with Mick as its main focus, I can't help but feel that it lacks excitement as a song, and even though it played for nearly 10 minutes, I could feel the looseness that is common in Stones outtakes. According to Complete Works, there are some takes that are nearly twice as long, but I wonder if this length is enough (lol). 5&6. Can’t Find Love A simple performance by Charlie on the drums while Mick is composing a song while playing the electric. It's a pop tune that Mick would probably create at this time. 7. Eliza From the rough draft tracks up to this point, you will be surprised by the high level of performance and aggressive atmosphere. Outtakes that were previously credited as "Eliza Upchink" on Complete Works etc. Mick's singing is a little off and it's not quite finished yet, but the performance is so great that it seems like it could have been polished and included on the album as it is! 8. High School Girl An unfinished song being tested by Keith, Mick, and Charlie. Despite the long playing time, it is loose and lacks excitement. However, it seems that it was worth boiling it down as it is because of the bright tone. 9. Stop That An outtake that was credited as "Chain Saw Rocker" to the previous "CHAIN ​​SAW MASSACRE". The sound quality is better and the mix is ​​better than the version I heard there, but unfortunately this one is incomplete and cuts out before reaching the 2nd minute. It is also a shame that Mick's voice is far away, but the degree of perfection of the performance is quite good. 10-11. All I Have To Do Is Dream 12. Piano Fragment An upgraded version of the sound source recorded by Keith alone at the piano during the May interval when preparations for the 1981 tour began. The sound quality is more natural and clear than what was previously heard on "LEARNING THE GAME" and "A STONE ALONE." Moreover, “All I Have To Do Is Dream” is recorded in a different take that could not be heard there. And "Piano Fragment" is actually an excerpt of "Oh, What a Feeling", so it feels like it's a bit of a shame (lol) Part 2 of "FOXES IN THE BOXES" includes rehearsal and session sound sources for the album "DIRTY WORK" . Not only is the sound quality excellent here, but we have also discovered a sound source that will amaze enthusiasts around the world. 1. Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever It was reported at the time that many covers were recorded during the sessions for “DIRTY WORK,” but this performance, which was discovered in the past for “MEAN-LEAN-HITS,” etc. confirmed that. However, the upgrade in sound quality heard here is amazing! There's nothing more satisfying than having a clear view that feels like it's literally peeling off your skin. 2. The Talk Is Cheap Complete Works site also lists outtakes from this session with some surprising song titles. That's "Talk Is Cheap". Yes, the title of the song was written with the title of Keith's first solo album. The mysterious song was finally discovered. However, when you open the lid, it is a draft of a slow ballad typical of Keith at this time, and the performance, which lasts more than 10 minutes, is rough and loose. This idea, which never came to fruition, was abandoned and replaced by classics like "Sleep Tonight." However, Keith did sing "Talk Is Cheap" in the song, and that line was later used as the album title. In the rehearsals and outtakes of “DIRTY WORK”, this kind of tune is often led by Keith. 3. What Am I Supposed To Do There is a song called ``What Am I Gonna Do With Your Love'' in the outtakes of ``DIRTY WORK'', and this is a rehearsal scene of a draft that can be called the prototype. Moreover, in the performance that lasts more than 15 minutes, you can hear voices other than the members of the Stones, but it is said that it is Bobby Womack and Don Kovay. The soulful jam number "Invitation" has long been famous as an outtake that they participated in and continued to play, but this is a more ballad-oriented jam. Moreover, it is rare that Mick is absent here and you can hear the scene where Ronnie starts singing instead. This is interesting. 4. Stick It Where It Hurts Mick prioritized the production and promotion of his own solo album ``SHE'S THE BOSS'' and did not participate in the Stones' ``DIRTY WORK'' sessions. there was. That worsens his rift with Keith, but that's also the reason why "DIRTY WORK" is said to be "Keith's album." The highlight of “FOXES IN THE BOXES” Part 2 is that Mick is absent, and Ronnie conveys how he was inspired. Here, an unfinished piece of music led by him is performed. However, Keith's guitar is sounding on the left, and it is valuable to hear the scene where Ronnie sings at the Stones session. However, the performance was loose here as well, and it seems that there was no further progress. 5-7. Can’t Cut The Mustard Ronnie’s hard work comes to fruition with “Had It With You.” It was a straight rock number that was the most Stones-like on the album, but the way it was born in a session without Mick was already discovered in “ALL MIXED UP”. At that point, I started singing "Can't Cut The Mustard" from Keith's signature Chuck Berry-style jam, but as that progressed, I came up with the line "Had It With You." was Ronnie. Here you can listen to an upgraded version of the sound source that captures the moment when the song was born. 8. The end of Victor Hugo Part 2 is a scene that seems to be a continuation of the same session, and while the straight rock'n'roll jam continues as usual, Keith knocks and starts singing lyrics that are clearly aimed at Mick. . JEMS also mentions this, but it is also clear from the appearance of Mick's nickname "Brenda", which Keith revealed in his autobiography. However, it was a valuable performance that showed Keith's enthusiasm, including the inclusion of the name of the poet Victor Hugo. Until now, the Stones have had a wealth of session and rehearsal sound sources from 1982 to 1985, but with this new sound source and a sound source with a remarkable upper sound quality, it is a new sound that makes you feel like JEMS. A number of sound sources. After all, the sound quality is surprisingly clear, so I would like to confidently recommend this ultra-quality outtake & session collection to those who avoided the 80's Stones session sound source, and will be released on CD as soon as possible.
