Rolling Stones - Necrophilia (Rare Unreleased 1972 Album)

The never-released album from 1972, which was pressed on a few acetates. Some acetates were sold, for a lot of money, a couple of years ago, and....surfaced on bootleg CD after a while. The songs are either completely different takes (like "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby"), or different mixes than the official versions (from Metamophosis).

The planned follow-up to Hot Rocks was to be titled Necrophilia, and was to have the tracks selected by the unpredictable Andrew Loog Oldham. A gatefold sleeve was designed by Fabio Nicoli using photography by the Stones' official photographer from the sixties, Gered Mankowitz.
Only an extremly limited number had been produced when, rumour has it, Oldham and Allen Klein had a major disagreement over Oldham's eclectic track selection, which included controversial songs such as "Andrews Blues" and "Pay Your Dues" (the alternate version of Street Fighting Man).
