A version of the archive release ‘Brussels Affair ’73’ with improved sound quality. Mick Taylor’s guitar is more integrated than in the original version, whereon his guitar is audible at the extreme left side of the left channel. In this version the band sounds more as a unity. Most songs are from the second Brussels show, which is inferior to the first one (both dated 1973 Oct. 17), only Brown Sugar, Midnight Rambler and Street Fighting Man are from the first Brussels show, and also the solo on All Down The Line, which is thus a ‘hybrid’ song. The famous and superior bootleg Brussels Affair contains songs from the first Brussels show only.

*** “Remixed and Remastered by Kevin @2014***
Compiled from two shows recorded in Brussels on 17 October 1973 in the Forest National Arena, during their European Tour. The album was released exclusively as a digital download through Google Music on 18 October 2011 in the US and through The Rolling Stones Archive website for the rest of the world in both lossy mp3 and lossless FLAC format. The 2011 digital edition has been bootlegged on physical CD.
When this came out in 1974, it was roundly dismissed as Ziggy Stardust’s last strangled gasp. In hindsight, Diamond Dogs is marginally more worthwhile; its resigned nihilism inspired interesting gloom and doom from later goth and industrial acts such as Bauhaus and Nine Inch Nails. ~Mark Kemp (rollingstone.com in 2004)

Sticky Fingers was never meant to be the title. It’s just what we called it while we were working on it. Usually though, the working titles stick.

While many hold their next album, Exile On Main St., as their zenith, Sticky Fingers, balancing on the knife edge between the 60s and 70s, remains their most coherent statement.

I hear the train a comin’
It’s rolling round the bend
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when,
I’m stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin’ on
Great version of this Johnny Cash classic.

These are outtakes & demos from the one of the greatest albums in recorded music history – The Rolling Stone’s “Exile On Main St.”
Most of these songs are rough demos that they passed up on when releasing the new super loud deluxe edition of the album. There is many demos around of this album, that I felt the need to upload. Enjoy them!
