Metamorphosis

The Rolling Stones - Metamorphosis (1975)

Hello friends!

This oft-overlooked Rolling Stones outtakes compilation has got us buzzing! (get it?) 

Tracks are compiled from their fertile period of '64 to '70 and include a demo version of "Out of Time"; an alternate version of "Heart of Stone" with Jimmy Page(!) playing lead; a great Bill Wyman original, "Downtown Suzie"; and a cover of the Stevie Wonder song,  "I Don't Know Why" which was reportedly recorded on July 3, 1969-- the same night that Brian Jones was murdered died.  

Great Franz Kafka-themed album cover, too!  If you haven't yet read Kafka's novella, "The Metamorphosis" you should stop playing on the computer and read it dummy!

RATING: 3.5 Memos from Turner out of a possible 5
