The Rolling Stones - Ripe Black Box Selections

This hear is a little year-opener by way of and for good old Hilts.

We was surfing for raw stones the other night and came upon this.


Redefine yourself. Now, true fanatics should go and download it all. And probably already have. But dilettantes like we can enjoy this regurgitated version, that includes Hilts and me's favorite lil bits, reduced from massive 78 tracks sprawled across five files, to a mere 21 tracks available via one simple download (see below).

rocky says: This here is a warmful melange that includes the odd occasional B-side, outtake, and or rarity, plus some rawer earlier slower, and or acoustic, and or instrumental versions of songs you mostly already doubtlessly know all too well.

Hamburger to Go, anyone? Personally, "Dandelion" (along with "We Love You") was a true stoned revelation for me back in college. I had absolutely zero idea they could be like that. And this version, sung by Keef, is all electric guitar and still equally revelatory. Quite worf the trouble. Not to shit on the rest of it though, cuz it's all rather special.

Here's the track listing:

01. Not Fade Away
02. All Sold Out
03. Loving Cup
04. Yesterday's Papers
05. Complicated
06. Honky Tonk Women
07. All Down The Line
08. Da Doo Ron Ron
09. Please, Go Home
10. We Love You
11. Cosmic Christmas
12. Dandelion
13. We're Wastin' Time
14. Brown Sugar
15. Hamburger to Go
16. Hear It
17. Satisfaction
18. Highway Child
19. Lady Jane
20. Have You Seen Your Mother Baby
21. Let's Spend The Night Together
