Tracklisting & More Information

Upon its initial pressing (Nov. 18, 1971), alternate versions of Brown Sugar and Wild Horses were included on the Hot Rocks master plate. These versions first appeared in the brilliant 1970 documentary Gimme Shelter. Since there was no clear reference to their origin on the album cover, sleeve or label, one must look at the trail-off vinyl (the smooth vinyl located nearest the disc label) and look for the word Shelley and the date 11-18-71.

The identifying mark is not easy to locate or read, but the mystery does not end if and when it is found. It seems that this "alternate pressing" was soon pulled in favor of a set which contained the single versions of Brown Sugar and Wild Horses. However, Shelley wasn't quite done, as the name reappeared for a short time afterwards with either a later date, or no date at all.

The songs themselves differ greatly from the known versions. Brown Sugar is a lot closer to the demo version heard in the hotel room sequence of the Gimme Shelter movie while Wild Horses has some noticeable vocal reverb.

The original Shelley 11-18-71, with the alternate takes, rarely surfaces and is among the top ten US collectables.

The labels are light blue and silver originals with boxed London logo and 'Stereophonic' text.
The all important word 'Shelley' has been hand scratched on all four sides with the date 11-18-71 scratched into the run out groove on side four. Also present in the run out groove of side four is the XZAL11018 matrix number and 'STERLING' has been machine stamped.

The vinyl on all four sides is beautiful with no skips, jumps or blemishes of any kind. The sound quality of this original is simply awesome providing a sound stage that can only be heard on a vinyl original of this classic LP.

This album comes complete with the full colour London advert inners.

Housed in a thick card gatefold picture sleeve with internally pasted picture & promo sticker on the front. The sleeve has no damage apart from the promo punch hole & exhibits just the slightest amount of scuffing to the front of the sleeve.

A rare chance to own a genuine piece of Stones history!
