Edit 1 for headphones, May 24, 2021. Otis Redding died in a plane crash on December 10, 1967, a month before this song was released (January 8, 1968) and three days after he recorded it. It was by far his biggest hit and was also the first ever posthumous nr.1 single in the US. Otis was a rising star moving toward mainstream success at the time of his death.

Otis had been at San Francisco playing The Fillmore and he was staying at a boathouse (in Sausalito, across the bay from San Francisco), which is where he got the idea of the ship coming in. That's about all he had: "I watch the ships come in and I watch them roll away again." He took that and finished the lyrics.

Redding ended up sitting on a dock on the San Francisco Bay thanks to Bill Graham, who ran the Fillmore West Auditorium. Redding played three shows there, December 20-22, 1966. Graham gave Redding a choice: he could stay at a hotel, or at a boathouse in nearby Sausalito. Redding liked the outdoors, so he chose the boathouse.

The end of this song contains perhaps the most famous whistling in music history. It wasn't planned, but when Steve Cropper and Stax engineer Ronnie Capone heard it, they knew it had to stay. Cropper explained on his website: "If you're an Otis Redding fan you'd know that he's probably the world's greatest at ad-libbing at the end of a song. Sometimes you could go another minute or two with Otis Redding's ad-libs - they were so spontaneous and felt so great. And this particular song I think baffled Otis a little bit because of the tempo and the mood, so when we got down to the end of it he really didn't have anything to ad-lib with, and he just started whistling. That just sparked Ronnie Capone and myself off, and almost immediately we said, 'Hey man, that's great, leave that in there.' It sure is a cool melody to go out with."

Redding recorded this with Booker T. & the MG's, the house band for Stax Records.

(SITTIN' ON) THE DOCK OF THE BAY
(Steve Cropper/Otis Redding)

sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
watching the ships roll in
then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
headed for the Frisco Bay
'cause I've had nothin' to live for
it look like nothin's gonna come my way

so I'm just gon' sittin' on the dock of the bay
watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

look like nothin's gonna change
everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
so I guess I'll remain the same, yes

sittin' here restin' my bones
and this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
rwo thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home

now I'm just gon' sit, at the dock of the bay
watchin' the tide roll away, ooh yeah
sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin' time

Edit 1 for headphones. Recorded June 10 & 11, 1964. Released in the UK and US as B side to "It's all over now". Released on the "12 x 5", "Big hits (high tide and green grass)", "More Hot Rocks (big hits and fazed cookies)" and some two million more compilation albums, a nasty habit of these rolling stones...

Harmonica: Brian Jones. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Acoustic guitar: Keith Richards. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts.

This song is quite like "As tears go by", with this difference: no strings messing up the Stones sound. This is how "As tears go by" could have sounded... pure guitar and singing.

GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES
(Jagger/Richards)

there've been good times
there've been bad times
I have my share of hard times, too
but I lost my faith in the world
honey, when I lost you

remember the good times we've had together
don't you want them back again
though these hard times are bugging me now
honey, now it's a sin

there's gotta be trust in this world
or it won't get very far
well, trust in someone
or there's gonna be war

Edit 2 for headphones of the mono single. Some more bass on this one. A number one hit twice in Holland: in 1970, and in 1980 with the live version. #1 New Zealand, #2 UK, #2 Canada, #2 Germany, #4 Australia and # 9 in what's wrong with U, SA ?
Again the source file is (the mono version) from the great quality album "The Kinks Remastered" (1995 Castle cd # 268).

The line "You drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola" was recorded as "it tastes just like Coca-Cola." The BBC refused to play it because of the commercial reference, so Ray Davies flew from New York to London to change the lyric and get the song on the air.
(By the way: I like cherry cola the best.)

The Kinks were not the first to sing about Lola and Cola; an anti prohibition song from 1918 (amongst others sung by Edward Meeker) has the line: "At the table with Lola they will serve us Coca-Cola." The song is: "Ev'ry Day'll Be Sunday When The Town Goes Dry".

Ray Davies wrote the lyrics after the Kinks' manager got drunk at a club and started dancing with what he thought was a woman.

Dave Davies stated he deserved a songwriting credit on the track, leading to additional friction with his brother Ray, who got the sole composer credit. This is what has always bothered me: how can Jagger/Richards take all the credits, when it is a GROUP'S thing? How can one even bypass his brother in such things. I just don't understand it...

LOLA
(Ray Davies)

I met her in a club down in North Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
C-O-L-A cola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her name and in a dark brown voice she said, "Lola"
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walk like a woman and talk like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said, "Little boy won't you come home with me?"

Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes
Well, I almost fell for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Lola lo lo lo lo Lola lo lo lo lo Lola

I pushed her away, I walked to the door
I fell to the floor, I got down on my knees
I looked at her, and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls
It's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world
Except for Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I've never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said, "Little boy, gonna make you a man"

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lo

Edit 2b for headphones, December 2020. Zappa’s beautiful guitar solo & base drums: my stereo edit, to give you a home stereo equipment experience on headphones... from the 1979 album "Joe's Garage" (2012 remaster). Full name of the song is "Playing A Guitar Solo With This Band Is Like Trying To Grow A Watermelon In Easter Hay". I left out the one minute and sixteen seconds of talking at the start of the song.

Edit 1a (r&r circus) for headphones. Another one from the "Rock And Roll Circus" that needed some "enhancement". The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a film of an 11 December 1968 event organized by The Rolling Stones. The event comprised two concerts on a circus stage and included such acts as The Who, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull, and Jethro Tull. John Lennon and his fiancee Yoko Ono performed as part of a supergroup called The Dirty Mac, along with Eric Clapton, Mitch Mitchell, and Keith Richards. It was most likely the yelling-like-a-lunatic of Yoko Ono along with this "supergroup" that prevented this film to be released for many many years. It took 28 years before they finally did! Boy what a drag! She is so sad!

Not an edit. This is from a Frankenstein bootleg, which says: "This is a Frankenstein Christmas gift, a little gift to celebrate Christmas, in the pure Frankenstein tradition, a mix of Keith & Mick's voices on two tracks they have interpreted.
Wishing you all happy holidays and long life to the Stones, by Norbert (aka StonyRoad)."

This song is on the bootleg "Mick & Keith Mixing Voices: A Little Gift For Xmas 2019!" (Frankenstein Production - xmas2019).

I tell you: what has been done is ultra difficult, a warm thank you to Norbert for an outstanding editing job !

Edit for headphones, June 2022. Source file of the edit is the song on the 1969 album "Nashville Skyline" (2003 remastered hybrid sacd). And also on this song I lowered the "not that good" bass & did some other "things".
The album "Nashville Skyline" marked a stark change in Dylan's vocals, he had developed a baritone country singer voice that he claimed was a result of his decision to quit smoking cigarettes. He told Rolling Stone magazine: "When I stopped smoking, my voice changed... so drastically, I couldn't believe it myself."

All of my Dylan edits are blocked in Russia. You know, that special country of that special moron who is fighting a dirty war that he calls "a special military operation"...

Edit for headphones, December 2021. An edit of the song of the 1972 album "Harvest" (2014 Pono remaster).
This remastered album really sounds fantastic.

The musicians who backed Neil Young from 1971 to 1973 on the albums "Harvest" and "Time Fades Away" were Jack Nitzsche on piano, Ben Keith on steel guitar, Tim Drummond on bass and Kenny Buttrey on drums.

Neil Young wrote this in 1971 after he suffered a back injury that made it difficult for him to play the electric guitar, so on the Harvest tracks he played acoustic. Despite the injury he was in good spirits, which is reflected in this song.

By far, this was the biggest hit for Young as a solo artist, reaching number 1 on the Hot 100 on March 18, 1972. The Harvest album went to number 1 a week earlier.

James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt sang backup (they don't come in until the end of the song), they were in town to appear on The Johnny Cash Show.

In a later interview with NME, Neil Young clarified: "I think Harvest is probably the finest record I've made."
(I totally agree on that...)

This song was recorded in just two takes. The musicians were not familiar with Neil Young or the song, but knew how to play. This spontaneity created just the right feel for the track - something that probably would have never come about through additional tweaking. This style of recording, where top-tier studio musicians are asked to give total focus to a take with little instruction, is something Bob Dylan often did. It's also a throwback to the analog days when tape (which was expensive) was rolling, making additional takes costly and cumbersome.

HEART OF GOLD
(Neil Young)

I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
it's these expressions I never give
that keep me searching for a heart of gold
and I'm getting old

keep me searching for a heart of gold
and I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
that keeps me searching or a heart of gold
and I'm getting old

keep me searching for a heart of gold
and I'm getting old

keep me searching for a heart of gold
you keep me searching and I'm growing old
keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold

Edit (live'65) for headphones. The studio release was recorded May 10-13, 1965. Released first as a US single June 6, 1965. Released on the US lp "Out Of Our Heads", July 1965. Released on the UK lp "Big hits (high tide and green grass)" November 4, 1966.

Acoustic guitar: Brian Jones. Electric guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards (lead). Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Lead vocal & tambourine: Mick Jagger. Background vocals: Keith Richards. Piano & tambourine: Jack Nitzsche.

Richards ran his guitar through a Gibson Fuzz Box to create the distortion effect. He had no intention of using the sound on the record, but Gibson had just sent him the device, and he thought the Fuzz Box would create sustained notes to help sketch out the horn section. The band thought it sounded great and wanted to use the sound because it would be very unusual for a rock record. Richards thought it sounded gimmicky and did not like the result, but the rest of the band convinced him to ditch the horn section and use the distorted guitar sound.

Other info states that Ian Stewart (the sixth Stone) purchased another distortion box, for Keith Richards wasn't satisfied with the Gibson. The unknown brand proved to be better.

Robert Cross wrote: "Jagger and Richards originally thought the song was going to have a "country music" sound to it, almost a "novelty" (silly) song about a Nashville musician who finds the rapidly changing world of the 1960s has left him behind. Grand Old Opry stars had very bitter feelings toward "British Invasion" groups.
The bad grammar (double negative) of "can't get no" was supposed to be a dig at the low intelligence of country music artists and fans. Mick & Keith didn't appreciate all the vitriol (=cruel and bitter criticism) they were receiving from them."

(I CAN'T GET NO) SATISFACTION
(Jagger/Richards)

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

when I'm drivin' in my car
and a man comes on the radio
he's telling me more and more
about some useless information
supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no
hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

when I'm watchin' my tv
and a man comes on to tell me
how white my shirts can be
but he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
the same cigarrettes as me
I can't get no, oh no no no
hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girlie action
'cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

when I'm ridin' round the world
and I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
and I'm tryin' to make some girl
who tells me baby better come back later next week
'cause you see I'm on losing streak
I can't get no, a no no no
hey hey hey, that's what I

DEAR DOCTOR

I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge

"don't ya worry, get dressed," cried my mother
as she plied me with bourbon so sour
pull your socks up, put your suit on
comb your long hair down
for you will be wed in the hour

so help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
there's a pain where there once was a heart
I'm sleepin, it's a beatin'
can't ya please take it out, and preserve it

can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
right there in that jar?

I was tremblin', as I put on my jacket
it had creases as sharp as a knife
I put the ring in my pocket
but there was a note
and my heart it jumped into my mouth

it read, "darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you,
but I have no courage to speak to your face
but I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou
there'll be no wedding today."

so help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
you can put back my heart in its hole
oh mama, I'm cryin' tears of relief
and my pulse is now under control

Edit 2 for headphones, March 2021. This is the mono song from the first UK album, "The Rolling Stones".
Recorded January 3, 1964. Released in the US on the third album, "The Rolling Stones, Now!" (February 12, 1965).
A (live) stereo version is since many many years on various bootleg albums, and after many many years it was released on the deluxe version of the album "Grrr".
Guitar: Brian Jones.* Vocals & percussion: Mick Jagger. Drums & percussion: Charlie Watts. Bass: Bill Wyman. Keith Richards: busy changing his name into Richard.** Source of this edit is the song on "The Rolling Stones, Now!" (London 820 133-2).

* Keith Richards: "I've never heard anybody, before or since, get that Bo Diddley thing down. Diddley himself was astounded, saying that Brian Jones was the only cat he knew who'd worked out the secret of it."

** After The Rolling Stones signed to Decca Records in 1963 their band manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, dropped the "s" from his surname, believing "Keith Richard" in his words "looked more pop". In the early 1970s Richards re-established the "s" in his surname.

MONA (I NEED YOU BABY)
(Ellas McDaniel, stage name Bo Diddley, real name Ellas Otha Bates)(April 1957 song)

I say hey Mona, oh Mona
I say yeah, yeah yeah yes Mona, oh Mona

I tell you Mona what I wanna do
I'll build a house next door to you
then I see you sometimes?
we can blow kisses through the blinds

yeah come out come out on the front

gee baby that's no lie
without your love I surely die

I say hey, hey Mona, oh, Mona
I say yeah, yeah yeah yeah Mona

Edit 1a for headphones. Dubbed video. Bad synchro. Sorry.
The source file of this one is from the bootleg album "Bright Lights Big City" (VGP307 from "Vinyl Gang").
There are various "Bright Lights Big City" bootleg albums, but only this Vinyl Gang's VGP307 has the version that comes quite close to stereo.
Though this song is often claimed to be stereo, even on various official recordings, it never was up to this album. So, a great job by the Vinyl Gang...

"The singer not the song", recorded September 6 & 7, 1965, was the b-side to UK's "Get off of my cloud", release date: October 22, 1965. It was on the US album "December's children (and everybody's)", release date: December 4, 1965. Also in October 1973 on "No stone unturned".

THE SINGER NOT THE SONG
(Jagger/richards)

everywhere you want I always go
I always give in because, babe, you know
you just say so cause you give me that
feeling inside that I know must be right
it's the singer not the song

it's not the way you give in willingly
others do it without thrilling me
giving me that same old feeling inside that I
know I must be right
it's the singer not the song

the same old places and the same old songs
we've been going there for much too long
there's something wrong and it gives me that feeling
inside that I know I must be right
it's the singer not the song
it's the singer not the song
it's the singer not the song

Edit (1a) for headphones, June 2022. Source file of the edit is the song on the 1969 album "Nashville Skyline" (2003 remastered hybrid sacd).
This song has a real great bass part, just like the album's "Lay Lady Lay" and "Country Pie"..
It was the third single released from the album, after "I Threw It All Away" and "Lay Lady Lay", reaching #50 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and reaching the top 20 in other countries.
Dylan arrived at the Nashville Skyline recording sessions having written just four songs, including "I Threw It All Away" and "Lay Lady Lay". Having recorded these and three other new songs on February 13 and 14, 1969, he needed a few more songs to fill out the album. "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You" was written over two days at the Ramada Inn where Dylan was staying, and recorded over 11 takes on February 17.

Edit for headphones. The guitar solo is played by Ian Bairnson, best known for his work with Alan Parsons. It is placed rather unobtrusively in the mix, and later engineer Jon Kelly would regret not making the solo a little louder in the mix. This is my clumsy attempt to change that.

"Wuthering Heights" was released as Kate's debut single in January 1978. It became a # 1 hit in the UK singles chart and has remained her biggest-selling single. The song appears on her 1978 debut album, "The Kick Inside". It also was a # 1 hit in Ireland, Italy, Australia and New Zealand. In Holland - busy organising my wedding - it reached # 3. In the US probably everybody was too busy watching Dallas... the song seemed unknown.

The song was significantly re-mixed and given a new lead vocal in 1986 for Bush's greatest-hits album "The Whole Story". This version also appeared as the B-side to her 1986 hit "Experiment IV".

Written by Bush when she was 18, the song is based on the novel of the same name. Kate Bush was inspired to write the song by the last ten minutes of a 1967 BBC mini-series based on Wuthering Heights. She then read the book and discovered that she shared her birthday (30 July) with Emily Brontë the author of the book. Bush reportedly wrote the song within the space of just a few hours late at night.
