Rolling Stones: Aftermath Isolated Tracks

FLAC

Rolling Stones- The Aftermath Sessions

Disc 1 - Sessions Dec 3-8 1965

1.  19th Nervous Breakdown - backing rhythm track - from L ch of UM7 stereo

mix. Some piano heard at the end. Mick's vocal is double-tracked so R ch must all 

be one take of overdubs unless there was an internal bounce. 

2.  19th Nervous Breakdown - overdub track from R ch - must be Brian on

guitar, Keith on fuzz guitar doubling left-ch riff, bass run must be an

overdub by Bill

3.  19th Nervous Breakdown - alternate vocals C - might be live vocal for tv

show, with studio backing tracks 

4.  19th Nervous Breakdown - master vocals C

5.  Sad Day - mono

6.  Mother's Little Helper - backing L

7.  Mother's Little Helper - overdub R - (The strange guitar sound is) a 12-string 

with a slide on it. It's played slightly Oriental-ish. The track just needed 

something to make it twang. Otherwise, the song was quite vaudeville in a way. I 

wanted to add some nice bite to it. And it was just one of those things where 

someone walked in and, Look, it's an electric 12-string. It was some gashed-up job. 

No name on it. God knows where it came from. Or where it went. But I put it together 

with a bottleneck. Then we had a riff that tied the whole thing together. And I 

think we overdubbed onto that. Because I played an acoustic guitar as 

well. -Keith 2002 

8.  Mother's Little Helper - vocals C

9.  Doncha Bother Me - backing L 

10. Doncha Bother Me - guitar overdubs R - 3 guitars in the R ch, one in the L ch.

11. Doncha Bother Me - vocals/harmonica C

12. Goin' Home - Keith speaks

13. Goin' Home - false start

14. Goin' Home - backing L - Mick on tambourine must mean his lvs were an

overdub, otherwise those lvs would have bled all over this track on the

tambourine mic.

15. Goin' Home - overdubs R - lead guitar and bvs, overdubs stop at 3:10

16. Goin' Home - lv overdub C

Disc 2 - Sessions Dec 3-8 65 and Mar 6-9 1966

1.  Take It Or Leave It - backing L - has both koto and harpsichord, Brian is

supposed to be playing both. Maybe Jack Nitsche is on harps and Brian overdubs the

organ in R ch.

2.  Take It Or Leave It - overdubs R - bvs and organ

3.  Take It Or Leave It - lead vocal C

4.  Think - backing L - lv is double-tracked so everything in R ch must be

an overdub, unless they did a reduction or internal bounce.

5.  Think - overdubs R - sounds like 3 guitars here though: acoustic, electric

and fuzz. Or is it fuzz bass?

6.  Think - double-tracked vocals C

7.  Ride On Baby - backing L - no leakage of C or R ch's

8.  Ride On Baby - overdubs R - heavy leakage of vocals on some R ch 

instrument mics (?) might indicate lv or bv performed with inst overdubs while

being recorded to another track. Or R ch overdub recorded after the vocals

9.  Ride On Baby - vocals C

10. Sittin' On A Fence - backing L - no leakage from R or C ch's. 

11. Sittin' On A Fence - guitar R - Keith (?) overdub (?) or Brian

Disc 3 - Sessions Mar 6-9 1966

1.  Stupid Girl - stereo backing LR

2.  Stupid Girl - vocals C

3.  Flight 505 - stereo backing LR - bass and fuzz bass on L, sounds like lead

guitar overdub on R. Maybe internal bounce of guitars to R, fuzz bass overdubbed

on 4th track panned L?

4.  Flight 505 - vocals C

5.  High And Dry - stereo backing LR - song performed live?

6.  High And Dry - vocals C

7.  I Am Waiting - stereo backing LR - vocal in R ch must be live with those

instruments because of double-tracked vocals in C

8.  I Am Waiting - double-tracked Mick vocals C

9.  If You Let Me - stereo backing LR - sounds like this song done "live" 

10. If You Let Me - vocals C

11. It's Not Easy - stereo backing LR - 3 guitars in R ch, the guitar solo

might have been overdubbed after the extra chorus vocal since it's heard in

the R ch probably from monitor playback during tracking

12. It's Not Easy - double-tracked vocals C

13. Out Of Time - stereo backing LR - internal bouncing? On R ch we can hear

the bvs but not the lv.

14. Out Of Time - double-tracked vocals C

15. Under My Thumb - stereo backing LR - Problem: L ch has drums, bass, marimbas

and fuzz bass. R ch has acoustic and electric guitars and piano. Keith is supposed

to be playing both guitars. Electric guitar and fuzz bass must be overdubs.
