background
There are two recordings of a lone, keyboard idea by Mick
on Street Fighting Years Reel Two.
This is a tape of "Monitor Mixes" which the individual band members would've played along to, when recording
their final takes for the album itself. So it's odd to find an improvisional piece included on the tape.
The first recording is a "hidden" piece of music tucked away, and not indexed, after one of the takes of
Street Fighting Years. (It can be found after the
Monitor #1 No Bass mix.) It sounds like Mick preparing
and warming up before playing the final, sparce melody. Unfortunately the recording is so loud that it's
heavily distored in places.
The second recording, now indexed, is more substantial and plays around with the main melody more. It sounds
like an improvisation around Let It All Come Down: but the
melody is more expansive and experimental than the finally recorded song. It's a better recording but meaningless
but itself.
