This is the place where Stones fans can advertise anything for sale, wanted, trade or whatever, from fan to fan. Advertisements are for free. To see the old ads go here.
This song is so nice I can hardly stand it! Makes me want to be back in 1975 and dancing with a girl at Prom!
Agree? Disagree?
Can someone explain me how a band can record such beautiful music and then decide not to release it? (That question of course applies to the scores and scores of songs that us fans have discovered and shared for these many years.
And furthermore, How the heck can such a band have the audacity to authorize the release this past year of a CD called rarities that had virtually no rarities.
It's a beautyful song indeed - but what struck me when I first heard it was - thats Stand By Me - done by the Stones. maybe someone told 'em just that, even though they might have thought it was they're own genuine material. It did happen again with Anybody seen My Baby!
I'm one ofthe probably few souls here who have heard Otis Redding's version of For Your Precious Love. The Stones' version is easygoing, Redding's version is a little desperate. Both versions are very good, Redding's the best.
Try limewire to get the various versions, John Butler is the original I believe. From a musical point of view it's a standard C/Am/F/G progression but it's what you do with it that counts.
For the last line on a couple of the verses Mick changes the melody slightly so it comes out sounding like Percy Sledge's 'When a Man Love A Woman', play the 2 back to back & it's obvious. Whether it's a concious thing or whether it's an unconcious one that creeps up out of the memory of songs we've half learned we don't know, but given the litigation that goes on in the music field about who stole what from whom I wonder if they held it back because of that similarity.
