A new year, and a new isolation of #BrianJones 'Ruby Tuesday' recorder part: https://t.co/CWjDO63otI

This isolation allows us to hear finer details of the recorder playing, some of which are obscured in the full official mix.

@Don_Richardson @RollingStones It was recorded at Regent Sound, London in September 1964.

Another 'as played by Brian' purchase. This time it's a near mint 1964 #OscarSchmidt 15A #autoharp, the same model Brian played during late 1965 - spring 1969.

Brian's is shown on the right of the quoted photo.

The 'Take It, Or Leave It' buff stop harpsichord part is often misidentified as being #BrianJones playing a koto. However, all of the December 1965 recordings had already been completed before Brian acquired his koto while on holiday following the sessions.

#TheRollingStones - Take It Or Leave It (isolated): https://t.co/JsmS1beCIJ

Recorded at RCA Victor Recording Studios, Los Angeles, USA. 8th - 10th December 1965.

Isolated line up:
#KeithRichards - acoustic guitar
#JackNitzsche - harpsichord

The harpsichord part features use of the 'buff stop' for most of the track. The buff stop on a harpsichord mutes the strings via felt or leather mutes/string dampers which creates a pizzicato lute or harp like sound.
