The released mix has only guitar at the intro. Maybe a proof Lennon indeed was playing most of the guitar parts and has been removed afterwards because of EMI, Apple and Yoko or who knows who. I prefer this cocky version! This really sounds like young lions, who have fun downtown. Jagger is spitting out the words, it has lots of guitars and the drumming isn't fading out at the end. I made two different remasters, one's a crystal clear mix but this is the one with analogue warmth and a hard-on. The sound has glam and stardust, the one on "Mick Jagger - The Very Best Of" from 2007 is almost aseptic I think. Buy it if you'd like to compare the different versions ... The video wasn't directed! Everyone and everything appeares accidentally, the cop car, the ice cream van, the Merc etc. The cars provide a cool light show! (=D)

In 1973, Yoko Ono kicked John Lennon out. She sent their personal assistant May Pang off with him, with the instructions to "be with John, help him, and see that he gets whatever he wants." Together Pang and Lennon moved to Los Angeles, a period dubbed "The Lost Weekend." It was a weekend that lasted from 1973-1975, during which Lennon passed the time with Phil Spector, recording material that would eventually be released as part of his Rock 'N' Roll LP. He also caroused through the town with musician buddies who informally called themselves the Hollywood Vampires: Harry Nilsson, Keith Moon, Micky Dolenz and Alice Cooper, and he was known to have recorded songs with Mick Jagger, Elton John, and David Bowie during that time frame as well ... In 2003, a London record store owner put an unlabeled record up for auction which he claimed had come originally from Ronnie Wood (guitarist for the Stones) and contained a collaboration cover of Jagger singing the old Willie Dixon blues song, "Too Many Cooks" with Lennon on guitar. That unlabeled acetate (made directly from a master tape, and found in a stack of records) sold for £1,400, and Mick admitted that he had forgotten it existed for a number of years.

Jagger may have recorded an earlier version of this same song in L.A. in 1973 during the Lost Weekend period with Lennon only producing and not playing? The band for this session is credited to include Harry Nilsson on backing vocals, Beatles collaborator Jim Keltner on drums, Stones sax player Bobby Keys, Cream bassist Jack Bruce, and Al Kooper on keys (hesitant Hammond B3 playing on Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone").

Chaotic behavior has been observed in the laboratory in a variety of systems including electrical circuits, lasers, oscillating chemical reactions, fluid dynamics, and mechanical and magneto-mechanical devices, as well as computer models of chaotic processes. Observations of chaotic behavior in nature include changes in weather, the dynamics of satellites in the solar system, the time evolution of the magnetic field of celestial bodies, population growth in ecology, the dynamics of the action potentials in neurons, and molecular vibrations. There is some controversy over the existence of chaotic dynamics in plate tectonics and in economics.

White boys Doin the 70s Funk YOU...Yeah! This would have been a GREAT SINGLE Too Many Cooks", produced by John Lennon and recorded by Jagger in 1973 in Los Angeles. The track features guitarists Danny Kortchmar and Jesse Ed Davis, keyboardist Al Kooper, bassist Jack Bruce, drummer Jim Keltner and, on backing vocals, singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson. Neither Lennon nor Bill Wyman, who was present at the session, appear on the track.

Wayne "Tex" Gabriel (Elephant's Memory etc) with Lennon and Jagger at The Record Plant in New York City 1972. I had no picture of that particular LA studio session in 1973, there's none publicly known ...

You should have kept the photo of the session up longer. I don't who the other guitarist is in the photo, does anyone know? Maybe it's Dave Spinozza? It also looks like Lennon's guitarist from Elephant's Memory.

Maybe Lennon relaxed some after the Beatles split. I'm sure the Stones did! And the sheer brilliance of Sticky Fingers, Exile; and Goats Head soup albums kind of snuffed all that talk of the Stones "imitating" the now defunct Beatles....did it not? And; thanks for posting! Great song! Great production! Serious FUNK here!

Great song, great video, and if it's true that Lennon produced it, great producing, too.

This song fucking rocks!!! I shouldn't disrespect the dead, but Lennon always seemed jealous of Mick, and this song might just be one of many reasons. I cried when John died, but he wasn't always the peace loving Beatle he portrayed. He was only human, one of the most talented I've ever heard, but his comments about the Stones were often acerbic, small minded and mean. I never heard any of the Stones ever say anything but compliment the Beatles. It was like John couldn't stand the competition.
