It's been a bit since I played that CD...but I do recall that ONE of those alternate versions of "Stop Messin' Round" really kicked.
When I heard Gary Moore's cover on his Blues For Greeny album, I thought, "what's he doing changing the words?"...then I got the Complete Blue Horizon Sessions box and lo & behold the alternate version was the one that Gary Moore took his from.
I was impressed with the version Fleetwood Mac played during the 1990 tour with Rick Vito handling guitar & vocals. Christine even took a bit of a piano solo in the middle; really high-energy!! Say what you want about Rick replacing Lindsey, but he did a helluva job on those Peter Green tunes he resurrected once he got in the band.
