the above versions is with the searing backing vocals of Madeline Bell (of Blue Mink/"Melting Pot" fame). below is without backing vocals...still great, but not in the same league
Track listing
The track listing on the back of the album jacket did not follow the one on the album itself. According to Brownjohn, he altered the track listing purely for visual reasons; the correct order was shown on the record's label. Additionally, "Gimme Shelter" is rendered as "Gimmie Shelter" on the jacket.All songs written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, except where noted.
