I believe that 'Drift Away' is a Rolling Stones' very rare recording, that has never been officially released (More info: http://societyofrock.com/the-rolling-stones-unreleased-drift-away-cover-is-their…

These are unofficial releases. Are you aware of any official releases that feature "Drift Away"?

Sometimes there are bootleg covers that were never released. Unfortunately we can only record "official" commercial releases. Do you know if this was ever officially released?

It is final! This song version was NEVER released by the Rolling Stones. It only appears in the above mentioned 2006 Bootleg/Unofficial album.
