From the Label
Rarities 1971- 2003 is a cornucopia of delights from the last 35 years or so and includes songs that have never surfaced on CD and rare b sides as well as hard to find mixes and previously unreleased tracks.
These include a live version of Chuck Berrys "Let It Rock" (recorded at Leeds University in 1971) which only ever appeared as a bonus b side to "Brown Sugar", the beautiful "Through The Lonely Nights", a Jagger/Richards original the b side to 1974s "Its Only Rock n Roll" single as well as unreleased version of "Tumbling Dice" recorded for but left off the Stripped album and "If I Was A Dancer (Dance part 2)" the first Rolling Stones song to credit Ronnie Wood as part of the writing team and previously only available on a 12" promo.
The album comes complete with a full track by track annotation in a 20 page booklet with rare Annie Leibovitz pictures of the band.
