10 Albums By Famous Musicians That Were Scrapped Before Release
8. Mick Jagger & The Red Devils Untitled Album
Everyone knows who Mick Jagger is, but you may not know so much about The Red Devils. The Red Devils were a Los Angeles-based blues-rock band who saw a fair amount of popularity in the late eighties and early nineties. They became famous for their live performances across the LA club scene, and were enjoyed by musicians like Brian May, Malcolm Young and Bruce Willis (yeah, Willis is a musician). Legendary record producer Rick Rubin suggested to Mick Jagger that he check the band out, and not long after the Red Devils were invited to the recording studio. Over the course of a massive thirteen-hour recording session, Jagger and the Devils recorded thirteen songs, including Mean Old World, Shake 'Em On Down and Forty Days And Forty Nights. For some reason, however, the record never materialized. Around that time, Jagger's first studio album (1993's Wandering Spirit) was released, containing none of the recorded material. In fact, only one song from the whole session has ever surfaced, Checkin' Up On My Baby, which appeared on 2007's The Very Best Of Mick Jagger. As for what happened to the rest of the songs, we'll probably never know.
