    Hilarious that Nicolette's much loved remix of Lotta Love has now been excluded from 4 different CD reissues in a row. Slapping albums together for remastering just isn't enough these days.

    "I'd much rather be with the boys" is a Stones-tune really out of their character sounding very much "spectorian". Suitable for Ronnie then. Maybe Nina Simone rightly would disagree that "Don't let me be missunderstood" was part of the British invension but that only shows what a great band The Animals was.
