The Rolling Stones - Gathered Up Moss Vol. II (2020)

The second volume of Auran's comprehensive collection of The Rolling Stones' non-album singles and b-sides picks with a legendary out-take from 1970 and goes right through to a non-album single from 2020. Mixed in are a number of previously unreleased songs which were added to various compilation albums in 1981, 2002 and 2012, plus a couple of tracks from their 1991 live album which never made it into the studio. As mentioned in the first post, she's omitted tracks from super deluxe editions of albums that have been coming out lately, but that's mostly due to personal preferences, and the fact that this was meant to be a collection of songs which were released at the time, but just not on a studio album. So we now have every non-album song from the band's whole career to enjoy, and once again many thanks to Auran for putting it together.

  2. Hi, again I am having difficulty obtaining "Gathered Up Moss" part 2. It does not come up on soul seek and the Mega link comes up as a PDF, and no music files. Would you please list the direct link. Thanks very much. Ed

  3. The MEGA link for Vol. 1 seems to have expired or been removed. Was hoping to get the added Disc II from that volume, and would appreciate a re-up if possible. Thanks for these Stones comps, they look amazing.

    2. That had me worried as this is just the sort of post that Mega would jump on, but I think there was a letter missing from the link, so download the pdf again and try it now.

  4. Great job - thanks! - but there's one missing non-album B-side - the live version of "Let It Rock" which was on the flip of "Brown Sugar" in the UK (but not on the US version of the single).

  5. Hi Pj
    Many thanks for the Stones' volumes and especially moving everything to Mega as I've not been very successful with using SoulSeek,so I now have the chance to explore some of the past year's files.
    As ever,I greatly appreciate the enormous amount of work you put into the blog and wish you a very happy New Year. I hope to visit the UK late next year as haven't been over for the past 3 years to catch up with family and friends !!
    Cheers,Peter
