Recorded in Munich in 1974 during sessions for "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll".
There are NO Beatles on this recording!
Nicky Hopkins on piano, Billy Preston on organ.

I always thought they should have released it. They did a nice job. Maybe an expanded deluxe IORR?

Thanks for the info! Nice to finally know something about the song. They should release it in some format cause its really good and sounds natural.
Do all existing versions cut out at the end like mine does? It runs about 3:30 or so. Right after the "won't you take me, won't you take me" part.
Also, another version I've always enjoyed is Ringo's from his Vertical Man album (one of his few solo albums I enjoy).

I thought the original plan for IORR was live '73 tour on one side, studio on the other. Am I wrong?

That's true. One side live, the other side with studio versions of covers.

I'll take your word for it but it's the first time I've heard this.

From Wiki:
"The album was at first developed as a half-live, half-studio production with one side of the album featuring live performances from the Stones' European tour while the other side was to be composed of newly recorded cover versions of the band's favourite R&B songs. Covers recorded included a take of Dobie Gray's "Drift Away", Shirley & Company's "Shame, Shame, Shame", and The Temptations' "Ain't Too Proud to Beg"."

Hmmm. Shirley & Company's "Shame, Shame, Shame" wasn't released until December 1974.

"It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" was issued three months earlier.
As I recall, a version of Shame was recorded during the sessions for "Black And Blue" in 1975 with Jeff Beck.
I'm not aware of any other cover versions recorded during the IORR sessions.

just assumed it was Shirley & Company's song the Stones had worked on when it could have just as easilly (and plausibly) been either Jimmy Reed's or Smiley Lewis's song of the same title. Is there a bootleg of the Stones doing "Shame, Shame, Shame" that could tell which version they used as their starting point?
The Stones had a hack in the studio at the Shirley & Lee version back in 1975 ..
The Jimmy Reed version was played live in '63 and they had a a go at
it in the studio in 78 then later on they churned out a great live version at The Double Door gig in Chicago in 1997 .....
Never heard of them ever having a go at the Smiley Lewis version though
