Product Description

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 Berry’s "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 1974’s "It’s 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Opportunity Missed But plays OK, 17 Oct 2006
By Laurence Upton (Wilts, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It is somewhat self-defeating to call something Rarities since with its release the description immediately ceases to be true. Every new release is a rarity before it comes out. Furthermore, in this particular case much of the fare on offer is already currently available on CD, and none of it is previously unreleased, though three tracks make their official CD debut here.

Although the subtitle of 1971-2003 suggests a wide-reaching overview, nearly three-quarters of the album dates from the 1980s and 1990s, with only one track more recent than 1998. The four titles dating from the 1970s are potentially the most valuable as they pre-date the CD era. The El Macambo version of Mannish Boy is available on two CDs (Love You Live and Sucking In The Seventies) so its inclusion here is quite unjustified, but the other three are new to the format.

Let It Rock is the oldest and most important recording here, a Sticky Finger era recording featuring Mick Taylor live at Leeds in March 1971, which appeared on the B-side of Brown Sugar but was missing from Singles Collection - The London Years where it belonged. It is here in its stereo mix. Incidentally the gig was edited into an hour-long BBC In Concert programme at the time, and was re-broadcast on BBC 6 Music as recently as 2003, albeit in mono. Perhaps the whole gig will make it onto a stereo CD one day.

Through The Lonely Nights is the only other track from the Mick Taylor line-up and appeared on the flip of It's Only Rock And Roll. It is a long-time favourite of many and is one of the strongest reasons for this collection. Of course there are many more B-sides from this decade that demand an appearance on CD and their exclusion here is saddening.

The other new-to-CD track is the 12" mix of Miss You, Mick Jagger's first attempt at remixing, and far superior in my opinion to the standard album version and single edit. However, it is disappointingly incomplete, a minute shorter than the vinyl release; a fact that is undocumented in the liner notes, which imply it is the full deal. Actually, the liner notes are so full of falsehoods and errors as to be worse than useless and are best ignored.

Despite all these shortcomings, this is a collection which actually plays well, kicking off with the excellent Fancy Man Blues, the B-side to Mixed Emotions, an uninhibited blues with Charlie on cracking form. The set remains coherent and interesting throughout, favouring their blues roots to which they returned with good effect over the decades, and featuring some B-sides and extended mixes (including Mixed Emotions and Harlem Shuffle). It ends with a live version of Live With Me from March 2003 which was previously only on the Four Flicks DVD. Nevertheless, it can only be viewed overall as a missed opportunity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could have been so much better, 9 Dec 2005
By Richard (Axminster, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This could have been so much better than it is, mostly material that can be found in the Stones backlog of released recordings.
There are, according to Bill Wyman's excellent book on the story of the Stones, many unreleased recordings gathering dust. Several that were made in Chicago at the time they recorded their second album for instance. There are also the superb live recordings made with Robert Cray and Bo Didley during the Voodoo Lounge tour that appear on the video but never made it to CD. There is the recording made with John Lee Hooker and Eric Clapton 'Boogie Chillin,' which is far superior to the 'Boogie Chillin' on JLH's 'Best Of CD', but it depends on who has the copyright I imagine.
However the CD is still worth at least 4 stars for bringing together these little gems on one album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missed Opportunity but still Worthwile (Just), 5 Dec 2005
By A Customer
This is a bit dissapointing and could have included some rarer tracks-eg Brown Sugar with Eric Clapton.Nearly half the tracks come from released CD's -hows that rare?
Through the lonely nights is great to hear again.
Tumbling Dice is a good version.
Still its not a bad listen just not as good as I'd hoped.
