Background Information
On a break from the Rolling Stones, Ron Wood worked on a solo album in 1992, recording “Slide on This” and releasing the album in September of 1992. The album was recorded in Dublin, Ireland where Wood was living at the time. Recording was done in both Ron Woods home in St. Kildare Ireland, and Windmill Lane Recording Studios in Dublin. Ron Wood took advantage of his Dublin location to invite some locals to play on tracks, including U2’s The Edge, and the Hothouse Flowers. The album was Ron Wood’s first solo project in twelve years. The second single from the album was “Somebody Else Might” which was one of the tracks that featured U2’s The Edge performing on additional guitars. The single was issued with “Ain’t Rock & Roll” as a b-side, which was another song featuring the Edge.
Included here is a remix of the track found on the album. The remix is done by Eoghan McCarron, Bernard Fowler and Ronnie Wood, who are the original producers of the album. The mix is titled “Slidin’ on This Mix” and is similar to the original track. The Australian release of the single featured an edit of the album version of “Somebody Else Might” only available on promotional recordings otherwise. A promotional single was issued in the USA with just the edit of “Somebody Else Might”. The version of “Aint Rock & Roll” included on this single is the same version that was released on the album “Slide on This”.
