Description

Hodgepodge collection (including some real gems) of outtakes/other versions/demos assembled by Allen Klein & unearthed for the first time covering a 5-year time span w/ no real unifying sound. An okay release that has its good moments but probably only of interest to hardcore Stones fan or completists who have most of the Stones' 60s output. In August 2002, the full UK edition of Metamorphosis was issued in a new remastered CD, vinyl, and SACD digipak by ABKCO Records. Browne, David (20 September 2002). "Satisfaction?". Entertainment Weekly . Retrieved 30 November 2018. The stones have always tended to resist these kind of releases themselves as they have always been the kind of group that when they are on form thats when the best stuff comes out.

Godzi" and "Panama Powder Room" were instrumentals from the Between the Buttons sessions and have never been released. They were recorded at RCA Studios, Hollywood on August 4-12, 1966.Credited to Jagger, Richards and Taylor on the first pressing of the album. The credits were changed to 'Jagger/Richards' with the second pressing and on the 2002 SACD version Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge.

Jagger was furious and even went so far as to taking out adverts telling fans not to buy these records. 'metamorphosis' is one of the most cynical, an album with one side taken up with demos jagger/richards punted to other artists (most of them pretty awful) and the other side taken up with outtakes from the groups later 60s records.

The version of the Stevie wonder tune that opens side 2 (taped the night Brian Jones passed) is pretty good and with a bit more work could have been stellar. Elsewhere 'jiving sister fanny' and surprisingly Bill Wymans 'downtown suzie' (outtakes from 'let it bleed') are both decent and worth a listen. 'family' was deservedly left off 'beggars banquet' and its ideas developed better elsewhere. The stones version of 'memo from turner' is unmemorable and the tempo is wrong. The material on the second side eclipses that on the first. “I Don’t Know Why,” from the Let It Bleed era, meanders aimlessly. (As a further instance of the album’s sloppiness, the song is mistakenly credited to the Stones but was in fact written by Stevie Wonder and two others.) “If You Let Me” sounds like Between the Buttons and is stylistically related to all of Buttons’ tragicomic intensity. “Jiving Sister Fanny” is again little more than a riff and a couple of words that go nowhere, proving that even the Rolling Stones can be mediocre when they’re off or think nobody’s looking.

Recorded on 3 July 1969 (the night that news broke of Brian Jones's death) during the sessions for Let It Bleed Metamorphosis is the third compilation album of the Rolling Stones music released by former manager Allen Klein's ABKCO Records (who usurped control of the band's Decca/ London material in 1970) after the band's departure from Decca and Klein. Released in 1975, Metamorphosis centres on outtakes and alternate versions of well-known songs recorded from 1964 to 1970.
