Edit for headphones, March 2022. Source is "Gomper part 1 (Take 2) (Olympic Sound Studios, London 10_08 to 7_09_67)" on the eight cd bootleg box set "Studio Outtakes & Rarities Vol. 3.2 Remastered By Teague Raw". This session is 3½ minutes longer than the final album release. I like this instrumental take, because the flute is not in it. However, it lacks Brian Jones' mellotron, which gives the official release its magic atmosphere.
The official ABKCO video with nice art, based upon the album sleeve, is here: https://youtu.be/iVUJLt6LMqM
GOMPER
(Jagger/Richards)
by the lake with lilly flowers
'while away the evening hours
to and fro she's gently gliding
on the glassy lake she's riding
she swims to the side
the sun sees her dried
the birds hover high
I'd stifle a cry
the birds hover high
she moans with a sigh
