A Bit More

You get exactly what you are promised in this one, which is more than the US/UK release.....Honky Tonk Women is added!. Given we probably all bought it due to the curosity factor, of course, no one who bought this really should be bitching too much.

The last track is the original March-June 1968 mix that became the classic with Jagger, Richards, Wyman, & Watts plus Rocky Dijon's congas, Nicky Hopkins' piano and Marianne Faithful and Anita Pallenberg adding vocals. Then you get 6 remixes, 2 each by the Neptunes, Fatboy Slim, and Full Phatt.

The Neptunes pair is by far the best....leaving Mick to do some acapella work works great plus they had enough sense not to try to outdo the original length (something Fatboy Slim should have considered as his full length remix exceeds the original by more than 2 minutes.....without adding significantly to any acoustic experiences of the Stones original mix....so what is the point of a remix again?

Full Phatt does a decent job on both.....the first is better in my opinion but both are good enough they should have run in second place, not third.

Finally, this would be much better if there were more of the classic recordings of the song that have already been done with perhaps the version from Maxx or one of the other DVDs.
