any dates on this yet?.....i'm sure it will outweigh Super heavy by a few tons.....maybe they can re-do some of the out takes to make them more current....like instead of Claudine re-name it Lindsey for Lohan!

think we'll get some unheard nuggets like Plundered?

"The band is plowing through masters of 1978's Some Girls in search of buried gems for a reissue similar to last year's Exile on Main Street."
- from last week's Keith piece in USA Today  

Plenty o' nuggets to choose from.

No specifics on a release date, believe it's tentatively scheduled for the fall...

Let's hope no hold ups, they definitely want to use Xmas season for this... if they wait too long, it will come out near a new album and tour...

There's no release date yet and the content hasn't been confirmed.

It was originally mooted for September, but I'd say thats optimistic.

There will be extra songs - yes - Keith even confirmed in an interview a week or so ago that they were going through the tapes to put it together. Whether the songs will be left in their original form, have overdubs added or will be a mixture of the two is only speculation at this point (my hunch is the latter), but what advantage it does have over the Exile tapes is that a) there were far more songs recorded and b) they're more likely to be in an advanced stage of completion. With Exile they were adding songs on as filler to make up a double LP and most of the vocals werent done until the overdub sessions in LA, so there was always likely to be very few finished, unreleased songs in the vaults.

They recorded over 40 songs for 'Some Girls' and whilst most probably werent finished, there's a good chance that several were, or were pretty close to being completed.

This will be the cover!
