Rolling Stones - "Wild Horses"

Good find indeed, jrjr. Thanks for passing this along!

John, my understanding was that, as part of the messy, final legal settlement between the Stones and everybody's all-time favorite human being, Allen Klein (comment drenched in sarcasm!), who the band had (no surprise) been long trying to extricate themselves from, was that any and all 45 A-sides issued from their initial Rolling Stones/Atlantic LP, "Sticky Fingers", would revert to, and then become the final Stones' recordings that would ever, going forward, become the property of Klein's ABKCO organization. Because of this disastrous business relationship, both for them, and for all of the many other artists who had EVER came into business contact with Allen Klein, including the Beatles, the Stones had long ago lost all control of both their song's lucrative publishing rights, and ownership of all recordings made by them between 1962 and 1971.

Can anyone quickly tell me where the 4:12 version comes from that can be found on many CD's? It doesn't appear to be the promo edit or the 45 version...LP edit probably? I was curious because it does not appear on a vinyl 45 to my knowledge, so where did it come from and was it played on the radio?

I have the Rolling Stones Singles box. Except for
"Sway", all the songs for the Atlantic years (1971 -
1984)are stereo. They usually are the Lp version if it
was on the stock 45. That includes "Wild Horses". They
did not include the mono mixes of "Brown Sugar" and
"Tumbling Dice". "Miss You' is the 45 mix, but the 12"
version of "Miss You" is remixed and not the original
12" mix. "Far Away Eyes", the flip side to "Miss You"
is the 45 edit.
