The Rolling Stones and The Killers Are Set to Release a New Rendition of 'Scarlet'.
The track was originally recorded in October 1974 but had not been heard
before now, and is set to feature on the upcoming multi-format reissue of the
band's 1973 album 'Goats Head Soup'.
And the 'Satisfaction' hitmakers have teased the new rendition featuring
the Brandon Flowers-fronted rock band and their regular collaborator, Jacques
Lu Cont - whose real name is Stuart Price.
The latter - who has produced and co-written tracks for the likes of
Madonna, Dua Lipa, New Order and Kylie Minogue, to name a few - first started
working with The Killers when he remixed their mega-hit 'Mr. Brightside'.
Taking to Twitter to tease the new spin on 'Scarlet', The Stones
tweeted: "Coming Friday...@thekillers #GoatsHeadSoup2020", and added
the goat and soup bowl emoji.
The track was only a demo born out of a jamming session with Page, but
it turned out so well, the 'Satisfaction' rockers felt it should be shared with
the world.
Mick said: "I remember first jamming this with Jimmy and Keith
[Richards, guitarist] in Ronnie's [Wood, guitarist] basement studio. It was a
great session."
Keith added: ''My recollection is we walked in at the end of a Zeppelin
session. They were just
leaving, and we were booked in next and I believe that
Jimmy decided to stay. We weren't actually cutting it as a track, it was
basically for a demo, a demonstration, you know, just to get the feel of it,
but it came out well, with a line up like that, you know, we better use it.''
The Killers' feature on 'Scarlet' follows the music video starring
'Normal People' actor Paul Mescal.
