How limited is the Stones first Edition

Hmm

Some ideas that spring to mind:

We Love You
Time Is On My Side
Salt Of The Earth
Rocks Off
Like A Rolling Stone
I Wanna Be Your Man
Gimme Shelter (No Security version)
Bitch
Let It Bleed
Sister Morphine

 

OK, I'll try, since I already put together a CD-R called "Elvis Presley: 30
True #1 Hits ....

On Disc 1, only tracks 11, 12, 18 and 19 were not the A or B side of a US or UK single. Every track on Disc 2 except Track 1 was issued as either a regular or promotional single. You could replace that track with "Bitch" (B-side of "Brown Sugar") and every song would be from a single of some kind.

 

Nice list Tim.......I'd buy it......

 

I love this idea, hope you guys don't mind if I steal it! Might even had to do 40 separate licks for both the London and Atlantic/Virgin years!

P.S. Tim: It's one of my personal favorites, but I don't remember "Time Waits for No One" being on a single? I do know the Stones liked it enough to use it for the title of a late-70s UK compilation LP! The closest thing to a Stones "guitar epic" featuring Mick Taylor!

 

It was on a promo-only 45 (Rolling Stones PR 228) and even had a picture sleeve. It was issued in late January 1975, right around the time Mick Taylor left the band. Here's a link to some rather poor images of this promo and (perhaps) the story behind it: http://www.micktaylor.com/time.html
