the rolling stones - stray cat blues - stereo edit II Edit 2 for headphones. For a deeper experience of the song... (Sorry, tiny bit distorted bass, I just like to dive deep down into it.) For some reasons * I think this is the best song from the album. On vinyl it sounds way better, hence this edit. Recorded April 3, 1968. Released on "Beggars Banquet" in 1968. Source file of the edit is "Beggars Banquet" (Japanese mini lp remastered 2006)[uicy-93027]. Slide guitar: Brian Jones. Electric keyboards: Brian Jones. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Electric guitars: Keith Richards. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Piano: Nicky Hopkins. Congas: Rocky Dijon. * one of the reasons: the sound of the two solo guitars on the left and on the right channel. That is a majestic find ! ! !
