: I think, that I will never find a bootleg more interesting than this compilation. I had never listened to 12 songs and 2 jams from it before and would otherwise perhaps never have listened to me much of this stuff.
: I also please have got some questions: From which time does I DON'T KNOW THE REASON WHY come?
: And who wrote WISH I'D NEVER MET YOU, STEWED AND KEEF, SWEET HOME CHICAGO, STILL A FOOL, I DON'T KNOW THE REASON WHY, HEY CRAWDADDY and COPS AND ROBBERS?
: Why does STEWED AND KEEF get called BRIAN'S BLUES? Did Brian write it? I have read somewhere else, that he wasn't present while it was recorded.
: Thank you!
I Don't Know the Reason Why comes from the Let It Bleed/Exile session in mid-1969, before Brian died.
Wish I'd Never Met You, Stewed and Keefed, and I Don't Know... are all, to my knowledge, by the Stones (Jagger/Richards). Sweet Home Chicago is by Robert Johnson, Still a Fool is by Muddy Waters, Hey Crawdaddy by Bo Diddley, and Cops and Robbers by Diddley, as well.
As for the writer of Brian's Blues/Stewed and Keefed, I'm not sure. I think it's Jagger/Richhards, and it was named Brian's Blues because Brian played the lead guitar. Is this true anyone?
