Written by: Jagger/Richard
Recorded: Olympic Sound Studios, London, England, June 5-Jul7 3 1969

From Martin Elliott’s book THE ROLLING STONES COMPLETE RECORDING SESSIONS 1962-2012:
All Down the Line was re-recorded in 1971 for the EXILE ON MAIN ST album. This acoustic guitar version recorded in June-July 1969 was principally instrumental. Mick Jagger only sang a brief vocal line for guide purposes indicating the lyrics were unfinished, although the chorus was definitely “all down the line”. Testimony to this, the earlier recording date can be confirmed by referece to the copyright credits which were the same as other ‘sixties material’ (Essex Music International Ltd.) Some of their best rockers were acoustic and this is no exception, a great outtake!
