Comment
The Sotheby’s Reel are Glyn John’s working tapes when he was the Stones studio producer during Let it Bleed through the Sticky Fingers sessions. The tape reel was auctioned some years ago at the famous Sotheby's London auction house and featured some different versions of great
songs. Of note here, Gimme Shelter recorded on 15th March 1969 and featuring Nicky Hopkins on piano, a version of You Got The Silver
sung by Jagger from 16th February and an early take of Sister Morphine almost without piano. Remarkable also is Loving Cup that starts with a striking different piano intro and lasts more than 6:30 minutes.Â
Minimal are the differences in the mix for songs like You Gotta Move, Dead Flowers and Sister Morphine second version that all resemble the finished Sticky Fingers release. On the other side of the coin we have to put the many opening riffs of both Brown Sugar and Bitch that are tiredlessly repeated by an engineer that rolls back and forth the tape looking for a better echo effect, it seems.
When the Stones recorded Brown Sugar in Muscle Shoals Studios it is said that they tried the song the whole night to get it right, we can feel how they felt while listening to all these false starts.
Anyway when the tracks are completed like version number 11 of Brown Sugar, here comes an early take with Stu on piano and no sax or takes 19 and 20 of Bitch where you can hear Jagger ad-libbing over Keith Richards guitar solo.
