Album Liner Notes:

Howdy doody whoever receives this record.

Here's a nice little piece of bullshit about this hot waxing which we cut one night in London, England while waiting for our guitar player to get out of bed. It was promptly forgotten (which may have been for the better) until it was unearthed from the family vaults by those two impressive entrepreneurs - Glyn Johns and Marshall Chess. It was they who convinced the artists that this historic jam of the giants should be unleashed on an unsuspecting public. As it cost about $2.98 to make the record, we thought the price of $3.98 was appropriate for the finished product. I think that is about what it is worth. No doubt some stores may even give it away. The album consists of the Rolling Stones' rhythm section; plus solos from two instrumentalists - Nicky 'Woof Woof' Hopkins and Ry Cooder; plus the numbled bathroom mumblings of myself. I hope you spend longer listening to this record than we did making it.

Yours faithfully

Mick Jagger

The tapes were rolling during the "Exile On Main St." sessions one day, and it recorded this jam session with Ry Cooder and Nicky Hopkins while the rest of the group was waiting for Keith to arrive. It's fun to hear the boys jamming, Hopkins' piano the real star here, but it's nothing of great substance.
