I created Country Honk because much of the information on here (e.g. all of the info box) refers to the song Honky Tonk Women and not Country Honk. I have therefor rewritten HTW to reference out to Country Honk where relevent. I don't think the articles should merge - different lyrics, different personnel, different release formats, different titles..... twitter 15:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC) hmmm. it is it's own song, but merging it would keep things simple seeing as it is a version of honky tonk women. yeah merge it. just give it it's own section after the main piece for honky tonk women.

I foolishly performed the merge before checking this talk page; I apologize for my haste, and I have undone the merge. However, I still feel that combining the articles is justified. Country Honk is a great song, but WP: notability (songs) provides little support for variant album tracks of notable songs. Jlittlet 22:57, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

OK I am happy to go along with the majority view here. I would say however that I suspect that most variant album tracks are either extended versions of the same song or accoustic versions of an 'electric' track. I am struggling to think of another 'pair' of songs which are as different as Country Honk and Honky Tonk Women. However feel free to merge as you see fit. twitter 10:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC) — WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SINGLE VERSION & THE LP VERSION & WAS HONKY TONK WOMAN EVER RELEASED IN STEREO?

[edit] Country Honk/ HTW Timeline

There seems to be some confusion in this article about which version was recorded first. The first mention of "Country Honk" states assertively that this was the first version of the song recorded. Later in the article, however, it says that there is some dispute about this between sources. Can anyone determine the true timeline? Otherwise, could the earlier passage be made less black and white, explaining the uncertainty which was the original? Snyrt

[edit] Amp Section

There is a lot of discussion about the amps used. Is this really important to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.130.169.101 (talk) 07:52, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Not really. It is also fraught with mistakes. The Stones used Ampeg amps onstage at Hyde Park in July 1969 and the fall US tour. Vytal (talk) 19:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
