Wow, here we go again. Today 'Stealer' (no 'The'
on the single labels) is officially 50 years old. Released as the follow up to 'All
Right Now' it wasn't quite the hit everyone expected, but it still sounds
great. Like all things FREE it is not a straight forward release and differs in
different territories. It can be found with different B-sides, incorrectly
labelled B-sides that play something different to the track named, there are
mono versions, some versions on 7" that play at 33rpm...
It goes on and on. More will be revealed when the FAS magazine gets to that
point. In the meantime here's the original German issue of the 'Stealer'
single. This includes the studio 'count-in' not found on any other issues.
Cool.
Also, I've finally managed to find a copy of the Canadian 'All
Right Now' DJ Radio Edit (from 4.14 to 3.09). So, here it is directly from
the vinyl for your.... enjoyment? Actually it's okay, if a bit brutal on first
listen, and if it got the single played on the radio, bought in the shops and
then into the charts, well, I guess it did it's job.
