The Rolling Stones dropped "Scarlet" Wednesday morning, a previously unreleased song featuring Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, via a new lyric video on their YouTube channel Wednesday morning. Listen to the track below.
Recorded in October 1974, "Scarlet" will appear on the upcoming reissue of the Stones' 1973 album Goat Heads Soup. The LP includes 10 bonus tracks, as well as freshly unearthed tunes "Criss Cross" and "All The Rage."
“I remember first jamming this with Jimmy and Keith in Ronnie’s basement studio," wrote Stones frontman Mick Jagger about the track. "It was a great session."
Added Keith Richard, “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 Goats Head Soup reissue, available for pre-order now, is set to release September 4.
