Metamorphosis

This outtakes collection compiled by former manager Allen Klein, in part served to combat bootlegs and to give him something "new" from the band. Mostly these are demos of Jagger-Richards songs meant to pitch to other performers, sung by Jagger with session musicians including future Zeppelin-ites Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones and sometimes Stones sideman Nicky Hopkins rather than the actual Stones. And it's not bad at all: An orchestral "Out of Time" (a U.K. hit for Chris Farlowe with the same backing track), an alternate "Memo From Turner" (different from Mick's version from the movie Performance), a Bill Wyman outtake from the Beggars Banquet sessions and Stevie Wonder's "I Don't Know Why" done during the making of Let It Bleed are among the highlights. But it's for true fans only.
