Mick Jagger announced recently that he had to cancel the Rolling Stones tour of Canada and the U.S. . He had to have a heart valve replaced. Here is a Stones instrumental recorded in 1964 at the legendary Chess Studios, located at 2010 South Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The Stones took a two-day break from their first U.S. tour, which wasn’t going well — they had been booed off the stage when they played a teen fair in Texas a few days earlier. The Stones didn’t yet have a hit in the U.S. and took a break to record 15 songs at Chess, releasing a five-song EP, 5 x 5, in England on Aug. 14, 1964. They recorded Satisfaction during the Chess sessions, and later added a fuzz-tone guitar. This instrumental, clocking in a 2:02 minutes, was included on the Stones first North American LP, 12 x 5. Keith Richards wrote in his biography that when the Stones first entered the Chess studio, they were surprised to find Muddy Waters painting the ceiling. Muddy also helped the Stones bring their amps in the studio. The song was built around Bill Wyman’s bass riff. And that’s Mick on harmonica @ 1:09.

Here is the longer 3:38-minute version:

I first saw the Stones in 1965 in Vancouver – at the Agrodome, with Little Stevie Wonder, then 14 years old, opening.

An odd remix mashup of the same song with The Clash:

As you can probably tell, I’m fascinated by remixes. Here’s 4 producers flipping a 12-second sample of jazz improvisation of Chopin’s Nocturne in E-flat, played on the piano. The challenge: they had 24 hours to produce a song.
