Observations:
As usual, the info was taken from Nico Zentgraf ( http://www.nzentgraf.de/books/tcw/works1.htm ), not from the backcover of the CD, which by the way, is not 100% accurate:
1. Tracks 1, 2, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15 were not recorded at Musicland Studios, Munich, April 1974 like the backcover said, and some sites repeated, Http://www.stonesvikingrob.com/bootleg/i/its_only_goats_head_soup.htm and http://www.bootlegarchive.com/media_description.asp?MediaID=37430
2. On April 1974, the Stones were in England (Newbury & London), not in Munich.
3. The Stones were in Munich on January (14th - 28th) recording early versions and primitive takes of Dance Little Sister, Drift Away, If You Really Want To Be My Friend, Living In The Heart Of Love, Luxury, Till The Next Goodbye, Time Waits For No One, Labour Swing, but I don't think any of the CD tracks are early versions or primitive takes.
4. The Stones were again in Munich on December (7th - 15th) (without Mick Taylor!), but they did not play any of the tracks from this CD. In fact, they played Act Together, Cherry Oh Baby, Fool To Cry, I Got A Letter.
4. Tracks 1, 2, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15 were recorded at Newbury, England, Stargroves (MJ’s house), Rolling Stones Mobile Studio (1974, April 10th - 15th) and London, Island Recording Studios (1974, May 20th - 25th)
