A demo rec'ed at Ron's studio, which they used for the promo clip and to build the album track on. It's the complete version and has even a little "woof!" at the end. Btw, sales of Hip-Hop music dropped by 30% (=P)
Get your sailor suits on and rave ...
IORR was promoted by a memorable music video directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, showing the band dressed in sailor suits and playing in a tent which eventually fills with bubbles. This video was one of Mick Taylor's last appearances as a member of the band.
The Stones play it live in a different key, the number is in B, whereas the studio track is in E. According to Keef, the song was recorded in the wrong key, but they did not realise this until they played it live.

MT It was inevitable. I was becoming so depressed and frustrated that it was rubbing off on the group. I had a lot of personal problems which had nothing to do with the group. I was bored. Not bored with The Rolling Stones but bored with myself. I knew I had a lot more inside me, and it needed to get out. I was actually getting very bored with the inactivity and the lack of direction. You know, for a whole year we just really didn't do anything. We didn't see each other and nothing was happening. And there were all sorts of things going on that had absolutely nothing to do with the band and being on the road and making records, which, I think, interfered with relationships within the band. I think if I'd have been a little older, I don't think I would have left actually. You know, I don't REGRET that I left, but because I hadn't been involved with them right from the beginning, there was much more of a sense of urgency about needing to do something else, inside me, you know. Whereas with the rest of them, they always knew inside themselves that no matter how difficult things were or how crazy things were, they'd sort of always be together, they'd get through it.
BILL Around the time Mick Taylor quit I just wanted to leave. I couldn't see myself standing it any longer. But I didn't want to be the person who caused the breakup of the band.
December 6-15, 1974: The Stones, minus Taylor, start work on their next album, Black And Blue, at Musicland Studios Munich. They record the basic tracks for Fool To Cry and Cherry Oh Baby.
December 12, 1974: The Stones officially announce the departure of Mick Taylor from the group.
MICK & KEEF MJ: Living with someone like that for five years, being with them so much, makes you very close to them. So, as far as we're concerned, he was just as close as anyone else in the band. There's no question of his being frozen out of the group or anything like that. Five-and-a-half years is a long time to spend with one band, especially these days, I think. And people talk about him not having a kind of Stones image. I think it's only Keith and me to a certain extent, who have what you'd call that kind of image.
KR: My playing relationship with Mick Taylor was always very good. There is no way I can compare it to playing with Brian, cos it had been so long since Brian had been interested in the guitar at all, I had almost gotten used to doing it all myself - which I never really liked. I couldn't bear being the only guitarist in a band, because the real kick for me is getting those rhythms going, and playing off of another guitar.
But I learned a lot from Mick, cos he is such a beautiful musician. I mean, when he was with us, it was a time when there was probably more distinction, let's say, between rhythm guitar and lead guitar than at any other time in the Stones. More than now and more than when Brian was with us, cos Mick is that kind of a player; you know he can do that.
