20 April - May 1993: Place: Blue Wave Studios, Barbados.
Producer: The Glimmer Twins.
Track status: Bootleg only.
Written by Barry Mann and Joe Shapiro and recorded
by the Chantels and the Marcels in the early 'sixties. Mick Jagger
and Keith Richards combine on vocals and guitars. Pierre De Beauport
is asked to answer the phone by Mick near the end. Mick and Keith
reminisce that Goodbye To Love is the b-side to the Marcel's hit
Blue Moon. Keith thought Blue Moon was bloody awful but the b-side
was a killer. The song is attempted twice again just by Keith on
over an hour long solo recording of mainly covers and riffs. He
covers amongst others Salty Dog, Cocaine (written in the 1890's
Keith reckons although he learnt it from The Rambling Jack Elliott
version at art school not realising what cocaine was), some Bob
Dylan and the Beatles' Please Please Me. On a good stereo it sounds
terrific and with a strong imagination you can believe that he is
in the same room, his hand clearly heard on the fret board, with
the evening crickets chirping outside, the ice in the glass chinking,
the cigarette lighter flicking and the puff and exhale clearly heard.
Absolute magic! The stories and tales brim forth. Room service -
another bottle of JD required.
