Two Rare Rolling Stones singles...

Here's two alternate single mixes from the Stones' peak....
(NOTE: These seem to get removed and re-posted all the time, so if the links aren't working, just search again on YouTube)...

This mix of "Sway" keeps getting misidentified as the one in the film "Gimme Shelter." It may be similar, but clearly not the same. This does not appear to be on the 1971-2005 Singles box (I say appear because I'm going by printed listings, and have not actually heard the set)...


And here's the raucous mix of "All Down the Line," which is neither better nor worse than the LP -- just different and awesome. This DOES appear to be on the 1971-2005 box. And unlike the "Sway" 45 above, the mix of "All Down the Line" was quickly pulled in 1972, making it very rare. It may have even only been on promo copies!
