Last month, the Rolling Stones shared a previously-unreleased track titled “Scarlet,” featuring Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. Now, the War on Drugs have remixed the song. Hear their take on the track below.

“I just re-imagined the song as if I had Mick, Keith and Jimmy in the room with me,” the War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel said in a press release. He continued:

After messing with my Linn Drum for a bit, the song fell into this double time thing and I just went with it. I called my friend and bandmate, Dave Hartley, to fill out the bass on the new groove. Then I figured if I had Jimmy Page in the room I’d probably ask him to plug into my favorite rack flanger so that’s what I did. My friend Anthony LaMarca added some last minute percussion. I’m so honored to have gotten to work on this especially since “Angie” was probably the first “rock” song that I asked to be played on repeat when I was really young. Hope you enjoy it!

“Scarlet” was originally recorded in October 1974. The original version and the remix will appear on the upcoming reissue of the Stones’ 1973 album Goats Head Soup.
