This is the original Sister Morphine (Morph 14) 'CYWOW bootleg' (d1 t1-10) of the unreleased Rolling Stones album planned for Christmas of 1965. Plus 'after the fact' (d1 t11-21) and 'big hits' (d2 t1-18). Traditionally both the Stones and the Beatles would release albums in time for the holliday gift season, but 'Beatles 65' met no reply from their rivals. At the time, most fans blamed the executives at Dekka records for what was viewed as a lack of fortitude. 

Of some minor interest is that 'Doncha Bother Me' is here entitled 'Don't You Follow Me'. Two versions of 'Heart Of Stone', one about a minute longer than the other. Lots of alt. Aftermath tracks, as noted. Lots of comments from Brian Jones fans, though Keef notes (legend + autobiog) frustration over his lack of help with the preparation for the Aftermath album... 

This is all recorded in so-called "wide" stereo and the sound is real clean and clear so that each instrument is heard easily and separate from the others. In many of the tracks, Jones and Wyman are on the left with Keith on the right and Mick with the drums in the center. checkout Keith playing the 12string electric he found in the studio on 'Mother's'. Brian's playing does reach out.

Could You Walk On Water
- 20-bit Edition -

DECCA refused to release an album with such a "blaspheme" title!
Could YOU Walk On The Water is only blaspheme to people who say they believe but cannot put their faith (in)to action. The Rolling Stones said they couldn't walk on water; by standing in water to their necks. This pose was supposed to be the original cover but whether they actually did jump into the cold water, they only know. Remember this was late 1965 or early 1966. It was probably all tongue-in-cheek. In fact it all happened during the recording of the song 19th Nervous Breakdown.

Review by: Unknown, On 13 Feb 2000
Sister Morphine's COULD YOU WALK ON WATER is taken directly from the Stones own title which was canned by Decca due to the abstractness of the title itself. VGP's release had nothing whatsoever to do with the contents of the original recording. Nothing at all. I believe VGP was just copping the name to hopefully fool the overly excited. On the contrary, Sister Morphine's release has everything to do with the actual w-i-d-e stereo tracklisting of the original recordings.
