1989 saw a reunion of sorts for The Rolling Stones. The resulting album and tour - Steel Wheels - was a huge success for the band. The tour saw the first of many things that would become staples for future stadium shows - reserved seats on the floor, giant sets, video screens, expensive beer. It also saw the beginning of hugely expensive tickets - $35. At the time it was an outrage.
Still - the band saw fit to produce a few B-Sides at a time when the 45 was dying. At the time we were seeing the rise of the CD single and the silly 'cassingle'
so here we have
Fancy Man Blues (the B-Side of Mixed Emotions)
Cook Cook Blues (The B-Side of 'Rock and a Hard Place')
To the best of my knowledge, this 45 is the only place this ever appeared. It was tough to find at the time
I Wish I'd Never Met You (B-Side of 'Almost Hear You Sigh')
Not released in the USA.
