Ok, while we're all enjoying "Tattoo You Deluxe" (well, most of us LOL) , I've been curious as to what album will be picked for the deluxe treatment. 2022 doesn't seem to be an anniversary for any of them and they have already seemed to have picked the most popular albums. I've purposely left off the 60s albums as it seems like they are just not going to get it together with Abkco and do any of them right - "Beggars Banquet" and "Let it Bleed" were such wasted opportunities in my book. There are some good arguments for many on this list - so let's hear your case and just maybe the "powers at be" are watching!
I definitely hear that argument, but they just don't seem headed that way unfortunately. Having a focus on a particular album is not a totally bad approach, having a book about each album and outtakes that relate to that release are pretty cool.
Yeah, it’s just that - so far - these deluxe sets do very little for me. For my tastes the audio of the core albums can be found sounding subjectively ‘better’ elsewhere and I despise modern overdubs on vintage recordings. For the true unmolested outtakes we get I’d rather just see them compiled on a comp so I can save some $.
I know that this would be somewhat redundant given we already had the deluxe set of Ya Yas but I’d be in for an updated remaster of the album incorporating the song performances -in proper concert sequence-included in the deluxe and the Gimme Shelter film but not the original album.
So.... I hope they do Black & Blue next. I would love Emotional Rescue, but cant see it happening. Undercover would be another favourite and see more possibility for that one than ER. Not sure they will do Steel Wheels so recent following the live box set, but its bound to get done at some point. Haven't they used all the outtakes of IORR to make TY SDE?
I just did a quick scan of Martin Elliot's book and you are correct - they would likely be really scraping at the bottom for this one, unless there's more we don't know about.
I would like live releases from late 6o s to mid 70s NOT destroyed by the horrible current mastering policy.
I voted for Black & Blue, Emotional Rescue, and Undercover. B&B is rife with outtakes--perhaps we could finally see "Come On Sugar," and "Slave" in its early permutation, and They have at least two 76 shows (Paris and Knebworth) that could be used to pad out a Super Deluxe/box set as per Their M.O. for deluxe sets. A Rescue set could be very heavy on studio outtakes as They cut quite a few numbers--including some covers like "Sweet Home Chicago"--in 79 during those sessions. Main reason I picked this album was because "Jah Is Not Dead" and "Gangster's Moll" must see the light of day--unreal that these two songs didn't make the final cut. Undercover is one of Their catalogue's most overlooked and underappreciated albums. I don't really get the dislike for it as it contains Their late 70s/early 80s lean & mean guitar sound, and it doesn't hurt that the lyrical content--especially Jagger's contributions--is among the most macabre and bloodsoaked of Their career while chronicling then current events and pop culture (Sandinistas and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre). Keef 'n Woody weave like magic on it. As much as I'd like a Deluxe I.O.R.R., I wouldn't hold my breath on that. That's largely been spent on the recent "Lost & Found" disc. - siyt
Probably wouldn't happen but Dirty Work. The unreleased songs were better than what made the album. Undercover would be good too as the bootleg songs on the bootleg earlier this year indicates another album worth of songs. Emotional Rescue too, get all those good songs from the fruitful 77-80 sessions out.
They leaked last year mate for free ! I know what you mean though officially. I’d like a super deluxe Voodoo Lounge one day, that would be a nice set, would imagine it will one day.
Give us the Super Deluxe Dirty Work. Mick & Keith already know their fans will buy anything from the vaults.... So why not test the theory? A 10-minutes "Extended Mix" of "Harlem Shuffle"! Jimmy Page replacing Keith's solos on every song! Limited edition "collectible" vinyl in fluorescent pink, yellow, green, and purple to match the album cover aesthetics! Everything wrapped in red cellophane! Retail price $299.99! (Actually, someone already mentioned their desire for a Dirty Work box, so who knows?? Outtakes might save the album!)
If they do one for Black And Blue, I'm all in for whatever needless extravagant deluxe version they want to sell me, they can take my money now.
"Black and Blue" is my choice and a sentimental favorite, obviously, but I question what might still be in the vaults. Very little has leaked and the quick turnaround and short duration of the album suggest there wasn't much to it beyond what we know. A session with Jeff Beck, yes, but it's supposed to be horrific.
Forget the 60’s material. Won’t happen, sorry. The Stones prevent ABKCO to release any outtakes prior to 1971.
None, it’s time to work on deluxe editions of their 60s albums. I believe there I some conflict with Stones not owning the catalog but, make it happen.
I’d like a remix of It’s Only Rock N Roll. There really isn’t much left for a bonus disk though. The early version of “Black Limo”, the title track with Bowie, “Slow Down And Stop”, maybe “Through The Lonely Nights”. Alternates.
