Recorded in 1974, with Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page sitting in on guitar. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/4a3TpH97TGI/maxresdefault.jpg "Scarlet") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a3TpH97TGI) ---

Coolness factor - 10 Any notes as to why it was never released? ---

It was recorded as a demo. It wasn’t meant to be released on an album. It will appear on the reissue of _Goat Head’s Soup_. ---

It’s okay. I do like the rhythm guitar; it sounds like they let a very young Andy Gill sit in. 😄 ---

Wow, first Neil Young’s ‘lost’ Homegrown album gets released, and now this. I wonder how many other unreleased mid-70’s gems are still out there? > [@Neil Young's "lost" Homegrown album finally released](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/neil-youngs-lost-homegrown-album-finally-released/914418): > > To summarize - The album consists of material recorded between June 1974 and January 1975. The album was recorded after the release of On the Beach and before the sessions for Zuma. The album was compiled and prepared for release in 1975. Instead, Tonight’s the NIght was released in its place, and the Homegrown remained unreleased for decades. Not only unreleased but never bootlegged. I have a few Neil bootlegs, none of these songs are on them. He kept them in the vault, because they wer… ---

That’s quite the hijack there **solost**. The Stones song sounds ok, better than most of what was released on GHS. Which is pretty much the album where they started to run out of good ideas. ---

> [@jaycat](#): > > That’s quite the hijack there **solost**. Was that a hijack? It’s a coincidentally related topic-- two musical acts who were big in the 70s and are still active and well-regarded to this day release previously unreleased songs this month that were recorded in 1974. If it was a hijack, I apologize to the OP. ---

Simple and straightforward but good, I’m liking Jimmy Page on this song. ---

Another archival gem, Criss Cross, circa 1972 with the old lineup. I quite like it. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/kSpGnZmGWBk/maxresdefault.jpg "The Rolling Stones - Criss Cross") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSpGnZmGWBk)
