▶Keith Richards·'Apartment no. 9'
Esta versión de una composición de Johnny Paycheck popularizada por Tammy Wynette fue grabada por primera vez por "Keef" en la noche del 12 al 13 de Marzo de 1977 en los Estudios Interexchange de Toronto. Por la mañana debía enfrentarse al juicio por posesión de heroína y cocaína que casi le cuesta dar con sus huesos en una prisión canadiense como consecuencia de una redada durante la estancia de los Stones para registrar parte del directo Love You Live en la taberna El Mocambo. Abandonado ya a su suerte por la banda y en declive su relación con Anita Pallenberg interpretó un puñado de canciones country, probablemente aprendidas de su amistad con Gram Parsons, con el nexo común en los temas elegidos del lamento de un tipo solitario y borracho. Richards grabó al menos otra versión muy parecida del mismo tema en 1981.
This cover of the Johnny Paycheck composition that helped the career of Tammy Wynette was recorded by "Keef" for the first time in Toronto the night before the start of his trial for possession of heroin and cocaine that almost found him in prison as a consequence of a raid during the stay of the Stones to register a show at the El Mocambo Tavern for their album Love You Live. Abandoned already by his band and suffering from his declining relationship with Anita Pallenberg he performed a handful of country songs, probably learned from his friendship with Gram Parsons, with the common link in the lyrics of the lament of a loner drunk guy. Richards recorded at least another very similar version of the same tune in 1981.
