You know your having a bad day when SG catches a typo. :-/

:smoking "do you think i really care" is a long time fav, so good to hear it in HQ!

This has been the best month to be a Stones fan in many years.

Serious talk of the band working together in the near future is all very nice but as a serious obsessive of their music, the archives site being launched, the Brussels download (most of it newly available in this quality), Live in Texas on blu ray and the Some Girls deluxe ALL IN THE SAME WEEK has been a perpetual wet dream.

I havent even got a chance to watch the bonus material on the blu ray or listen to the Some Girls album yet!

The bonus SG disc blows the Exile one out of the water. Helped, admittedly, by the fact they had more material to work with.

I hated the idea that they'd binned the original Do You Think I Really Care because I thought it was perfect in it's 'almost finished' form for a release of this nature - but this 'new' version is so good its now hard to do without it. Jagger's done a really stellar job (as he did on 'No Spare Parts') with the re-written lyrics and he's pulled the new vocal off really well.

The only song that I think is a waste of time is 'Petrol Blues'. It was nothing much to begin with, but to include a 90 second edit of it - with the harmless references to Arabs being omitted so as to not to offend - is really pointless, especially when its included as a bonus song on a CD where the band's attitude in 1978 to criticism of the 'offensive' title track was 'If they cant take a joke, fuck 'em'. They could have just replaced it with another song ('Fiji Jim' being the obvious candidate - and a finished version exists) if they had to.

Anyway, its a very minor gripe. I've always maintained that the Stones are a great country band and its a genre they should tackle more often, so the 'Bakersfield' style songs on this record are just sublime (as are the 50's style thrashes through Claudine and Tallahassee Lassie).

Its a toss up between You Win Again and Do You Think I Really Care for me. Really glad Mick did a new vocal on the Hank Williams song, because his original was a tuneless mess.

The piano reminds me of Charlie Brown everytime I hear it...

"Put your umbrella on your as baby" nice way to finish a song ...

Well, maybe I missed some comments, but it's nice to hear not everybody hates the new vocals. Mick did a great job indeed!
