Album


01	The Storm A different mix with the acoustic slide guitar "up" in the right channel. There are different harp pieces although some are the same as the single release.	03:17
02	You Got Me Rocking The fundamental track is the same as the album release, but with an alternate mix. The vocal is different.	04:10
03	Sparks Will Fly Keith on vocal! Instrumental track very similar to VL. There is a lead line in the left channel that gets edited out of the released song.	03:19
04	The Worst Similar to VL, but again missing Jagger background vocal as in CD1. Keith's on backup vocal overdub.	02:25
05	Out Of Tears Early working version with a drum machine, keyboard and Jagger vocal.	04:22
06	Brand New Car #1 An early working of the entire track live. Jagger calls a few chord changes.	05:29
07	Sweethearts Together Early run through with Jagger on vocal and acoustic guitar . He asks Woody "is this a Martin?".	03:38
08	Sweethearts Together Similar to VL, but missing accordion. Has the fiddle track.	05:58
09	Blinded By Rainbows With a completely different guitar oriented instrumental track. The vocal has a dramatic edge to it. A great version minus all the album production. Stripped!	06:55
10	Baby Break It Down Different mix. The keyboard background track that comes in at 1:39 on VL is replaced by pedal steel. No background vocals.	04:12
11	Thru And Thru The first 1:45 of the track is spent getting a scrape sound right. An overdub being laid on a playback. Stops abruptly at 6:30 to discuss what's going on and starts up again.	11:49
12	Thru And Thru here is an electric guitar overdub present. A Jagger backing vocal is very clear in the right channel in the first part of the song.	04:10
13	The Storm It's got Charlie's "can't you have this in mono" line. A very early take of the song with a working vocal to establish the baseline tracks.	09:55
14	The Storm The acoustic slide track is very audible in the right channel. The vocal has a reverb effect that's not present on the single.	03:19

Rehearsals, Alternate Mixes & Early Versions Steel Wheels was a come-back record for the band, but Voodoo Lounge was a statement that is was more than just a flash, even though five years elapsed. The diversity of the music on VL is great, so the opportunity to hear the evolution of these tracks in superb stereo quality is a very rewarding experience (for me at least). It never ceases to amaze me how this band can transform and evolve songs into the finished product as we know it. It can be as simple as adding or deleting a particular backing track or just changing the mix...truly an art form.
