Thanks for the upload!

[monydoc]

I Think I Love U StonesGirl !!!

[The6thSimpson]

anybody got a tab for this?

[clarkewi]

@The6thSimpson Kieth's playing here is very similar to the original Don Covay version that had a young Jimi Hendrix playing guitar on the session. There are several videos disecting it on YouTube. It's a masterpiece of guitar work that put Jimi on the R&B "radar" earning him accolades by the likes of Steve Cropper and The Stones of course.

[lostmanbump]

Which stone's album includes this version?

This version is different from "out of our heads(uk)"

[GoliamNos]

wow... great videowork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hangfire97]

Oh my Lord! You're the video making master! Kudos to you!!! :)

[The6thSimpson]

[19SUBSOUNDS65]

WOW-Thanks Stones Girl .Never heard this outtake!

[clarkewi]

Brian Jones added so much.

[Fooblestheclown]

Poor Brian...he looks like he hasn't slept in a few weeks in some of the photos. Good edit.

[Melizarra3]

Great vid. Loved it. A Stones girl myself, I really enjoyed it, thanks.

[S58C1]

Fucking Ridicules that people change up the sound with digital bullshit and call it an early take.

[Grvthang]

What a great version! Closer to Don Covay's original than the one on "Out of Our Heads".

[Zrisky]

Great version of this song! So far I only knew the version of Out of Our Heads (1965). And that I knew at least since 1966.

[anonymousdecenthuman]

nice

[Fooblestheclown]

Gee I never heard this version before.......

[ashotaway]

Wonderful.... Thank you!

[markybgoode]

Sounds like a demo for the tune that eventually wound up on Out of Our Heads.

[PAULLONDEN]

[bitchkeepsbitchin]

[marinasvetaeva01]

they were so powerful in England that they di not have any problem to tell Bran about his next murder in thei songs lyrics

and on top of that they owe a fortune in taxes to England, they don't even give a damn abot money there?

[pabloplacenti]

version december 1964

[pabloplacenti]

exelent version

[LarryRickenbacker]

This song (covered by Heaven knows who) can be heard in the classic 60s film "the Graduate". Young Ben is bar-hopping with Elain in L.A. and we hear this song blaring from a bar.

[RissaGirl147]

[imaStonesGirl]

[sockmonkeydreamer]

Sounds a lot more like the original Don Covay version than the official Stones version. Very cool. Never heard this before (or at least not committed it to memory) and I thought I'd heard 'em all. Thanks!

[clarkewi]

I love this stuff. Almost sounds like Curtis Mayfield or Reggae.

[PAULLONDEN]

Great collage,and good rare Out Of Our Heads outtake ,from the times The Stones

were indeed ROLLING •••••

[cookie1994LFC]

GREAT VIDEO WELL DONE

[LarryRickenbacker]

What a treasure! Thanks for posting.

[ChuckyChuckster]

Good job, there, StonesGirl.

How did you come to be such a fan?

[goldshell]

This is the 1st version of Mercy, Mercy recorded in Nov. '64.

It was remade 6 months later for Out Of Our Heads with a totally different arrangement.

[imaStonesGirl]

yeah i believe you!! how did you know that?

[goldshell]

A great tomb,"The Complete Recording guide toThe Rolling Stones" by James Karnbach and Carol Bernson. Aurum Press 1997. You have to get it to know! Sessions, gigs and discography. Let me know if you want to know anything until you get a copy.

[imaStonesGirl]

ok thanks i will look for a copy

[harp1925]

I own the book, pretty accurate but some of the things are not accurate. On satanics, they say the beatles sing in "why don't we sing this all together, I believe they sang on Shes a rainbow and two thousand light years from home. I have listened to these songs and this is my conclusion, go and listen.

[goldshell]

Hard to say if Lennon?McCartney are on Satanic seesions or not. They have never mentioned it although they did sing on We Love You. Might be them and it might not.

[harp1925]

She's a Rainbow, 2000 light years, dandelion and we love you, have beatles on backing vocals. I have read this, but I can't recall which book and I believe these are the only songs the beatles appeared on. In the seventies john lennon plays guitar on Too many cooks from mick jaggers solo greatest hits album.

[goldshell]

There may be Beatle contributions to Dandelion as overdubbs in '67 but I am not convinced about Light Years or Rainbow. Too Many Cooks was never officially released in the U.K and derives from a '74 session which Lennon produced but as yet I have never read anywhere that he played on the song. It should be released though as it is great.

[harp1925]

On the video of 2000 light years I don't hear beatles on 2000 light years, but on the studio recording I hear lennon mcartney harmonies on the chorus, on she's a rainbow they sing the ooh la la la ooh la la la la's part. It is documented somewhere, but not in the book it's only rock in roll.

[goldshell]

It could well be John and Paul but there will never be any conclusive proof as stones recordings at Olympic were never documented the way they were for the Beatles sessions at Abbey Road much to my regret. Therefore, there can never be a definitive answer to the question. Rainbow could just as easily be mick,keith , Brians or whoevers voices speeded up which is what it sounds like to me.

[harp1925]

The four songs have beatles participating, but i"m going to have to dig up some of books I read over twenty years, maybe a Roy Carr or Tony Sanchez, book but until I find it, I can't document my source. It is a fact that the beatles are in the cover of the original 3d cover. Also, in the book It's only rock in roll it is stated that lennon, mcartney sing on both versions of sing this all together, I don't hear them on those two songs.

[sbarr10]

This is very interesting to know, thanks for posting this info!

I like hearing how their version of this song evolved, and I, for one, think that six months delay was WORTH it! It took 6 months for the Stones to really mark it as theirs, LOL!

[dandeexxxx]

have any of ever picked up a guitar? you should

[bacardibum]

brian jones was the original bad ace. keith and mick just copied him. rip brian

[atowari]

Keith and Mick didn't exactly copy Brian.. after Brian passed they knew that they had to come out of their shells a bit more or they wouldn't have lasted too long.

I'm happy they did, even though I still enjoy their softer songs like this one.

[wintergreen88]

Great video! Good early version of the song.

[imaStonesGirl]

thanks

[Ruby2esday]

Thanks for the upload the intro is just perfect and micks voice sounds so innocent

[nikolajdude]

neat video!

[redwoodrebelgirl]

What a cute and innocent sounding song!

So different from the whole "bad boy" image!

Nice footage, too!

Thanks for posting!

[imaStonesGirl]

I Know those were my exact same thoughts lol!! Just wait till you hear "Go on home girl this just not right" lol Them telling a girl to go home and call it a night ha ha so not like them

[redwoodrebelgirl]

Hard to imagine!!!

I can't wait to hear it!

I'm glad that you have the discerning taste to love the Stones, too!

Thanks for sharing your great collection!

[neverindoubt]

Clever video, this was maybe the official studio album version of this song, it sounds familiar and polished like it played top 40.

[imaStonesGirl]

it is a boot leg from "unsurpassed masters" I also have some more songs rare like "Go on home girl" and A few more from that boot then i have The boot "How Britain got the blues" and a few good other rare ones

[neverindoubt]

Wow you really are a Stones Girl

[PressPlay2Go]

Mick practicing his high vocals ... I like this ... toe-tapping tune.

[imaStonesGirl]

Yeah i liked the way he said "Please don`t say we`re through" He sings good!!

[nextstar5]

Whoa! I thought I was a Stones expert of sorts but I've never heard that version. Lame as the Dickens but interesting. Thanks for posting.

[imaStonesGirl]

yeah it is lame for them but it is kinda funny

[Judge85]

[imaStonesGirl]

[TangerineTangerine]
