In a Christie's Auction catalogue from London 24th August 1989, three 45 rpm single sided acetates were sold.
The catalogue entry says one disc was an instrumental backing track of "The Spider and The Fly".
Another disc was an alternate take of "I've Gotta Get Away".
The third disc was not detailed but given the wording in the catalogue description just might have been an instrumental version of "Satisfaction" maybe the original harmonica version?

If anyone has these tracks and could post them here (or point to the place in the IORR Vault) it would make an ageing man very happy !

And another too

Anyone.?

Not sure if you've heard this, but here's another rare track, 'You Can't Always Judge A Book By The Cover' from 1962...

Thanks for this find

Don't mention it, just searched YouTube. Can't find any of the auction tracks in question, though.

instrumental versions of "Spider And The Fly" and Satisfaction" can be found on some bootlegs, "Ultra Rare Trax Vol 9" for example.
From memory, no harmonica on Satisfaction.
