actually, flip the 45 (BB #28, 1971), and check out "sway" on the B side... a totally different version than on Sticky Fingers, esp. the vocals with harmony on the verses, no count-off, remixed instruments, and in total MONO! a neat find, i think... will this ever see the light of day on CD?

interesting point: "Singles Collection The London Years" contains all the Stones A and B sides, except for "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses", which weren't even on London... I have always wondered how ABKCO always managed to put those two ostensible Rolling Stones Records on Atlantic recordings on the ABKCO label...

John, my understanding was that, as part of the messy, final legal settlement between the Stones and everybody's all-time favorite human being, Allen Klein (comment drenched in sarcasm!), who the band had (no surprise) been long trying to extricate themselves from, was that any and all 45 A-sides issued from their initial Rolling Stones/Atlantic LP, "Sticky Fingers", would revert to, and then become the final Stones' recordings that would ever, going forward, become the property of Klein's ABKCO organization. Because of this disastrous business relationship, both for them, and for all of the many other artists who had EVER came into business contact with Allen Klein, including the Beatles, the Stones had long ago lost all control of both their song's lucrative publishing rights, and ownership of all recordings made by them between 1962 and 1971.

BTW, the mono b-side version of "Sway" appears on the huge Singles CD box set (1971-2006).

Can anyone quickly tell me where the 4:12 version comes from that can be found on many CD's? It doesn't appear to be the promo edit or the 45 version...LP edit probably? I was curious because it does not appear on a vinyl 45 to my knowledge, so where did it come from and was it played on the radio?

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

Santi, are there any other mono versions on this
collection that might be single mixes/versions?

I have the Rolling Stones Singles box. Except for
"Sway", all the songs for the Atlantic years (1971 -
1984)are stereo. They usually are the Lp version if it
was on the stock 45. That includes "Wild Horses". They
did not include the mono mixes of "Brown Sugar" and
"Tumbling Dice". "Miss You' is the 45 mix, but the 12"
version of "Miss You" is remixed and not the original
12" mix. "Far Away Eyes", the flip side to "Miss You"
is the 45 edit.

The 4:12 version when I heard was listed as an acoustic
version missing some of the backing music. Maybe an
earlier take. Yes the radio edit is 3:25 so not the same
as 4:12 take.
