    Yes, but will there be more Sonny Rollins on it? Not likely.

    How about more Mick Taylor? He was all over "Waiting on a Friend" too.

    It is odd that Tattoo You is being treated to a anniversary edition as though it was a fully realized album when it was released in 1981--with tracks dating back to the early-'70's when Taylor was very much in the band and Keith was dealing with heroin.

    The Some Girls outtakes disc is very good, like a missing Stones album. Worth owning regardless of SQ.

    Well, it isn’t odd if you think about potential profit (which we all know is often the primary objective of the Stones). Consider that it was at one point their second best selling studio album, and many copies were sold to second generation fans that weren’t around in the 60’s. That’s a lot of potential “deluxe set” purchasers that may not have bought earlier sets.

    This and Emotional Rescue were big albums with me at the time, I should be a guaranteed sale but times are tight so will have to see... nine new recordings? Damn tempting!

    Never have high hopes concerning new Stones tracks from the vaults. They will always tinker with it, Exile On Main Street and Some Girls = caca.

    I am intrigued by this Faces talk.

    Did they get their money's worth out of the Some Girls sessions or what? I know other tracks like WOAF are even older, but wow....

    Emotional Rescue seems to have garnered more appreciation over the years. It was kind of squeezed out by the two albums on either side of it, and it didn't get a dedicated concert tour to go with it. But I always liked it a lot. It doesn't sound like they're trying too hard (like on Some Girls or Tattoo You), yet they're obviously trying harder than in other spots (Black and Blue). It just works. The anonymous album art was also a nice touch. The large poster was over the top.

    They have done that since the late sixties. Several album tracks was already years old by the time they came to finish them off and release them.
    I know many fans complain about it, but they obviously refuse to release half-baked tracks.
    The last bootleg with all these backing tracks and muttered gibberish vocals only convinced me in my predictions. It was advertised as ‘finished with vocals’, but I got enough quite quickly. They were NOT ‘finished’. Stones fans thinks the archives are full of polished outtakes like Beatles or Dylan. Again they were proven wrong. And after the initial happy reaction, the usual complaining began that the outtakes was ‘fun’ but unexciting. The fans are not happy either way.

    But isn't the alternative is a bunch of tracks sans vocals? My understanding is that Jagger didn't really bother with tracks that weren't in the final stretch for album inclusion . . .

    Also, the Stones don't seem to be taking excessive liberties with outtakes that take the listener out of the historical moment, as it were. Compare with Bruce Springsteen, who sometimes adds incongruent vocals, instruments and arrangements to leftover tracks.

    My complaint is that the hybrid NOS tracks are as smashed during mastering as the reissued album proper. Otherwise I quite like the "new" tracks for EXILE ON MAIN STREET and especially SOME GIRLS.

    In a seperate thread about the studio album they're working on, a news article said that the band minus Keef were working on the thing in London, while Mr. Richards contributes from the States. This could very well be, as has already been said, because of the various travel bans. Unless more info comes to light, that's what I think is going on, not a health issue or anything more.

    I’m glad they’re doing this, but please don’t have a 70 something year old Ron Wood dub over an original Mick Taylor part!!!

    I’m hoping they release a bunch of bonus tracks like the Some Girls deluxe version. This is really their chance to shore up all the 70’s stuff in one fell swoop.

    To cover Mick Taylor's guitar parts on anything would be like defacing a famous painting! I love the Some Girls bonus material.
     
  17. Tattoo You is not only my favorite Stones album, it probably ranks in my top ten albums of all time. I’m beyond thrilled that it’s getting the 40th Deluxe Edition treatment. The bigger the box the better.

    And yet, it is such a great record. It hangs together beautifully, and not a bad track on it. And wrapped in a "Stone classic" cover. I love everything about it.
    My favorite Stones as well. I've already got about 40 albums in my top ten, so let's go top fifteen for me. :winkgrin:

    Every reissue that had bonus studio material since Exile has had a live component/companion available with or around the time of the release.


    L&G
    Some Girls Live In Texas
    Marquee Club/Roundhouse
    Brussels

    I wonder what would be released for Tattoo You.

    I would love to hear a pro version of one of the shows from the '81 tour when Mick Taylor hsd a guest spot. Was it Kansas City or maybe St. Louis?

    Unless there are outtakes in the vault with him on them it can't happen as he had to retire from performing due to COPD I believe in 2012. He is also 90 years old now.

    Perhaps but if they are studio recordings and not live performances Woody could easily overdub the parts.

    Taylor appeared in Kansas City. He was in town at the same time playing with the Alvin Lee band if I remember correctly.

    If they release a live show I hope it is a show with a different set list than Hampton 1981 and Leeds 1982.

    Not sure if it's common knowledge or not but the Virgin reissues (was it '94?) contained a longer version of 'Slave' with more Sonny.

    I'd read about the Virgin reissues in Rolling Stone at the time back in the stone age when the interwebs didn't exist and release info was garnered through magazines. I could have sworn they mentioned that a few songs on 'IORR' were extended too but damn if I remember which ones.

    We should also start a speculative list of what the nine songs would most realistically be.

    As stated earlier, "Don't Stop ", but I would think also...

    Hang Fire (Long Version with intro)
    Slave (Alt/Longer Version)
    We Had It All

    What else?

    Mick T. sat in at the Kansas City show.

    I'm hope they issue Phoenix as the live show - it's the stadium show featured in Let's Spend The Night Together and is my pick for best show of the tour (that I've heard).
