Hi there

I found quite a few years ago a compilation of live rarities that were once officially relased and not available anymore afterwards. Of course, this bootleg compilation has become mostly useless since the release of the singles box set, but however, it also included the Japan-only bonus tracks of No Securite and Live Licks and a few other stuff.

Does somebody remember this boot and still have the info file or the detailed artwork for this ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot !
I was searching because I couldn't find it as a B-side of one of the Flashpoint cassette singles.

The vinyl 45 posted above by Too Tough is a promo/juke box copy hence the unpainted injection moulded label.
The official commercial release was on a cassette single released in April 1993 by EMI's Food Records imprint.



It was part of the "Putting Our House In Order" charity project whose aim was to raise money and awareness of homeless people and featured twelve different versions of Gimme Shelter.
UK Top 40 chart rules at the time had it that a single could be issued in four formats, usually 45, 12", CD single and Cassette single or a mixture thereof but each format had to have one track in common.
For this release there were two CD singles ("Rock" and "Alternative" ), a 12" ("Dance" ) and a Cassette ("Pop" ).
The Rock CD featured Thunder, Little Angels and Hawkwind with Samantha Fox(!)
The Alternative CD featured New Model Army with Tom Jones, Cud with Sandie Shaw and Kingmaker.
The Dance 12" single featured 808 State with Robert Owens, Pop Will Eat Itself vs Ranking Roger vs The Mighty Diamonds vs The On-U-Sound System and Blue Pearl (produced by Utah Saints).
The Pop Cassette Single featured Voice Of The Beehive with Jimmy Summerville, Heaven 17 with Hannah Jones and The Rolling Stones.
The track that was common to all releases was an interview track which featured various homeless people and workers with the homeless speaking about their experiences (Wikipedia gets it wrong).
This was also called "Gimme Shelter" and credited to Jagger -Richards with publishing by Westminster Music. Allen Klein and the Stones had given their blessings to the project and all songwriting and publishing royalties went to the charity.
As I recall it, the Stones' version wasn't originally intended for inclusion but was added when the intended track wasn't available in time for release (I can't remember who it was by) which might explain why it featured on the "Pop" version rather than the "Rock" one.
It was recorded at The Death Valley Stadium, Clemson, South Carolina on November 26, 1989.
Despite all that, it only made No. 23 in the UK charts with a chart run of four weeks.
A promo CD was also issued:



"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"
