THE ROLLING STONES/PROFILE 6.24001 (-79) GERMANY

One of many seventies Rolling Stones compilations with cuts from the Decca/London years and to my taste one worth having. Issued in Germany only, through the Teldec/Profile serie. As far as I can hear all cuts have proper mixes and the audio is tops. What makes it a little more special is they included the "Performance" version of "Memo From Turner" - a mix of Jagger's vocals from a 1968 take with new backing made in Los Angeles 1970 - played by Ry Cooder, Gram Parson and Randy Newman among others and produced by Jack Nitzsche. Apart from the sundtrack album the cut also appears on the US "Single Collection - The London Years" from 1989 and the 2007 "The Very Best Of Mick Jagger", but this is the first (only?) time it shows up on a legit Rolling Stones Decca LP. So it's not just for zealot collectors of the group. Good tracking with one rare version and enjoyable listening should make it valuable for most Stones fans. First issue had label as shown here and thin fully laminated cover. (RÅ*) (GÖXÄ*)
