“They” are not involved on this release. ABKCO can re-release everything they want as long as it’s previously issued.
I haven't even got around to reading the book that came with the Sticky Fingers deluxe yet, five years ish after it came out. Just give me the music, please.
I'll probably buy the single CD. I don't have this album as I burned out on the vinyl when I was a kid. Collected BB last year for the same reason.
"Honky Tonk" on the Stones in Mono box is the fold-down that will be no doubt be pressed on this box's single, yes? Is there a dedicated mono mix 'in the wild' they could have used instead? Other than broadcast versions like this one lacking the studio lead vocal:
They're both miming exactly to what they played on the record (ie. Bill lays out until the first chorus)
Bill doesn't come in till the entire band starts, it's been that way all the way through Bill's final Rhythm King's show.

What's cool is he looks like he's playing his kit for real, even though they're miming... ...Hey, can someone give me a quick run-down on the various mixes of this song? This clip has Mick not saying "A-a-all right" before the solo... And he goes "gimme-gimme-gimme..." (double time, over 3 beats) at the end of the song... I don't think I had ever heard this variation before...
So the LPs do not have the custom band photo labels as it appears on the cover "cake" photo AND there are no little mini band "cake" toppers either. I can't decide what angers me more...I am serious!
Even though that is my favorite Stones album, and a Deluxe Edition would be welcome for me, I see nothing there that I need. No bonus tracks to entice me to buy it. Vinyl I have no use for. Lithographs, posters, book I can live without. Some $ saved!
I'm obviously aware of that, but during some of the bass parts he's definitely not into it, and I can't hardly blame him, it's possibly not a very fun thing to do (except for Milli Vanilli).
The poster is crap! My Let It Bleed is one of the treasures of my collection. Original UK Decca mono, with unboxed red labels, poster, stickered sleeve with peep hole on the back and a near perfect condition inner with uncensored credits. No splits, stains, creases etc. The sleeve and poster are also near perfect, the record a very strong VG with some light scuffs, but no groovewear, very little crackle and no repetitive or loud clicks. I know it's a fold, but I like the sound of it a lot. As an album, it's my least favourite of the classic four from 68-72, but that's no put down. All four are some of the finest rock 'n' roll ever recorded. 50 years old, wow! It still sounds fantastic and always will.
Charlie's kind of miming-playing His cymbals are lined with tape, and I'm assuming his drums have towels or something in them to muffle any sound. Maybe not hitting the bass drum at all. Plus hitting the sticks very lightly. A good illusion!
Have you heard the single version of "You Can't Always Get What You Want"? It was the "B" side to "Honky Tonk Woman", and actually the first version that I heard by virtue of buying the 45. The choral intro isn't on that version, and when I bought my copy of "Hot Rocks, Vol. 1" and heard the version from "Let It Bleed" I was a bit put off. Far as the album, I think it's a great album, although I would have to admit that "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile On Main Street" were much better, and in fact I would say those two were their very best. I'm actually a hard core "Exile On Main Street" lover. I own both the Limited Edition 1994 Virgin Remaster as well as the Blu-ray Audio.
So, the only track for which a dedicated mono-mix exists is 'Honky Tonk Women' and the rest [of the tracks presented in mono] are just channel fold-downs of the original stereo-mixes ? I once heard a mono 'Monkey Man' that sounded like it was a different mix, but it was an upload on the web and I couldn't verify the source. That left me wondering if there were any tracks that had been prepared as dedicated mixes in mono but left unreleased (in '69) .
