High Heeled Sneakers

Postby drakula63 » Mon Dec 11, 2017 12:56 pm

Does anyone know why 'HIGH HEELED SNEAKER', which was apparently recorded in March 1970 for 'Shades of Rock', was not released? And, more importantly, does it survive and exist on a shelf somewhere?

I feel that the DEFINITIVE version of 'Shades of Rock' has yet to be released - one that really should include this and 'Slaughter on Tenth Avenue' as bonus tracks.

A superb version of High Heeled Sneeker performed by the Rolling Stones on Saturday Club in April 1964 was never released either!!!

Thanks Stephen for sharing your recording of this tune
I remember seeing "The Rolling Stones" live in 1965 and those numbers they performed in the early years
there sound and style was something else influenced mainly by the late Brian Jones

I'd be interested to hear what sort of a fist the Shadows made of Hi-Heel Sneakers: there's not a lot of melody there. Shades of Rock was an odd collection to my ears: some numbers work better than others.

I still feel Shades of rock was a lost opportunity, we all know The Shads can play excellent rock and roll, sadly this wasn't it.

No, it's a very different performance. It says from Saturday Club in 1965 which must be wrong because there is audience noise present on the performance.

No it's a completely different version whatever it says on the notes - have a listen:

and in any case, there was never an audience on Saturday Club. It was most likely from Easy Beat, Joe Loss Show or similar which did have an audience.

I agree that the audience 'noise' is unusual for Saturday Club recordings and it surprised me, too.
However, the dropbox track is exactly the one from the CD. Quite confusing.
What I found out about Stones BBC recordings of 'Hi Heel Sneakers' is
8 April 1964 - 'Ready Steady Go Mod Ball' (TV from Empire Pool, Wembley) - playback
10 April 1964 - 'Joe Loss Show'
18 April 1964 - 'Saturday Club'
9 May 1964 - ''Open House' (TV Riverside Studios)
25 May 1964 - 'Top Beat Pop Prom' (TV Royal Albert Hall)
The track from the CD might origin from the Joe Loss Show.

Apologies for hi-jacking this Shadows thread.
