Disky というオランダの廉価盤レーベルからリリースされていた編集盤(2000)。米アマゾンにはあるのに日アマゾンには登録されていないアイテムの一つ。ASIN: B000050GHH
廃盤になって少々プレミアが付いているが，廉価盤だけあってライナーノートなどは全く無い。しかし，この選曲はマニア心をくすぐるのでは・・・？
Alvin Robinson "Down Home Girl" や Bob & Earl "Harlem Shuffle" あたりは，ひょっとするとストーンズのファンが選曲したかも・・・(^_^;)

確かにシングル・ミックス ↑ の方が迫力はあるが，それでもやはり，Arthur Alexander のバージョンの方が好き。
