The new 50-track, triple-disc set, titled Fully Finished Studio Outtakes, spans 1966 to 2002, featuring previously unknown songs as well as a heap of better sounding versions of long-booted material.Its such a waste of energy when people say, Oh, well I dont really like that one, we wont do it, and youve spent all this time on it.These tapes were recorded by two guys outside the mobile truck sticking the microphone into the trucks mailbox.

Then the band convened in Rotterdam, The Netherlands in January 1975, they had many musical idea but no guitarist to compliment Keith. Potential replacements included Wayne Perkins, Harvey Mandel, Steve Marriott, Peter Frampton and Ronnie Wood (given his close relationship to Keith would be the obvious choice). The parade of guitarists reached to such an absurd length during the Black And Blue sessions that Richards later commented about the album, rehearsing guitar players. But the most intriguing candidate for the slot was Jeff Beck. Already famous for his work with The Yardbirds and two incarnations of the Jeff Beck Group (with future Stone Ron Wood), Beck himself was in one of his many transition phases at this time. His latest project Beck, Bogert Appice dissolved in April 1974, and by the end of that year he began writing and recording instrumental tracks AIR studio with Max Middleton, bassist Phil Chen and drummer Richard Bailey with George Martin producing. The AIR sessions would eventually be released as Blow By Blow, Becks seminal jazz-fusion and one of the classics of seventies rock. But he had a short excursion in Rotterdam jamming with the Stones with some though about actually joining the band. Years later he was reflected on the experience, stating that, if he had joined, I could have been rich, but I could have not be happy. In describing the time, he related that In those times, The Stones had been staying in Rotterdam, Holland, in relations to tax. One day, they called me and told, Would you like to play your guitar on one or more songs So I went there, but none of The Stones were there (laugh). After three days were gone and I was at the bar in the hotel, and I found pianist Ian Stewart. In the rehearsals room, there were hundreds of guitars with each players name on. But Ian said to me that they decided me as a new guitarist for The Stones and therefore the auditions were cancelled. I had already decided to record Blow By Blow with George Martin then, and already had reserved the studios. To tell the truth, I had thought of joining the stones, but I had not been much fascinated with their music, so I finally declined their offer. I told Stu Ronnie Wood might be the right guy but I dont know thats why Ronnie joined The Stones at last. The only real evidence of this collaboration were a few scattered recordings like Lady (Sexy Nite) and Come On Sugar found on such titles as Jamming With The Rolling Stones (Scarecrow 061), Black Blue Sessions (Idol Mind Productions IMP-CD 005), Outtakes 1974-75 (Extremely Rare EXR 002) and Place Pigalle (VGP-362). In February four hours of jamming from the Rotterdam sessions surfaced. Goldplate simply pressed Outside Looking In onto silver for those of us who prefer this format.
