Rolling Stones "Brown Sugar"?

The 45 version of "Brown Sugar" has 3 words after the music ends and those words are "I Like It" which you will not hear on the LP version of this song.

Reviving this thread, the words on my 45 after the ending drumbeat are "alright man!"

As a kid, and in another thread, I had thought this part was at the end of "Stay With Me" from Faces, but I was confused. Course, I was 12 in 1971 and early '72. :)

My white label dj 45 is mono on one side (matrix #21843-4) and stereo on the other side (matrix #21843-1).

I am curious as to what others think is said after the closing drum beat on the 45. I listened again and to me it sounds like "I like it".

I hear what sounds like the reverbed talkback from the control room to the studio that has one voice saying "I like it." The "I like" is reasonably clear, although the "it" is not. But the reverb lasts just long enough that the word "it" could be in there.

What makes that third word's possible presence hard to determine is that there is a dry drum beat and a single guitar note that come in at that exact moment, followed by a "yeahhhh," in a dry male voice that is different than the "talkback" voice.

Following that "yeahhhh," the guitar note is sustained, with what sounds like a female voice, low in the background. Hard to tell what's being said there.

My two mono commercial copies are sonically identical:

Plastic Products pressing, bought in 1971 when new.
Label matrix is RS-21843-PL; deadwax matrix is RS-21843-6.

Specialty Records pressing, acquired in 1977 from then-current warehouse stock. Label matrix is RS-21843 SP; deadwax matrix is RS-21843-3 (the same as Grant's copy from upthread.)

My copy of London/Abkco's 2-CD Hot Rocks 1964-1971 (1986, catalog numbers CD 606 and CD 607) has the stereo LP mix folded down to mono.

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

	The other difference is about 45 seconds into the song, there is a horn blast that "pops" up to the front of the mix on the mono 45, but is almost completely obscured on the stereo version.

	John (eriejwg) was very kind to email me a dub of what his 45 sounds like. In addition to being a unique mono mix, the stereo version has a delay on the lead guitar in the right channel. The mono mix does not have any delay effects on the guitar, so there is more than just the ending that is different.

	Pat, does the stereo side of your promo 45 match the LP version? (delay on the lead guitar and no "I like it" at the end)
