There has to be thousands of songs, sketches of songs, outtakes, and various versions we've never heard.

Consider that just publicly through bootleg, there are hundreds of demos from every album. The Stones used to do sometimes up to 100 takes of a single song and the initial could end up very different from the final.

Consider how much material in the  1967-1970 period they compiled -  possibly hundreds of songs, and hundreds of versions of such. We didn't even know about the Rock N' Roll Circus version of Ruby Tuesday until it leaked.

Then consider all the stuff they did during their rebirth of creativity from say 1977 - 1983.

Or going back earlier, earlier takes of songs. For example, the acoustic version of Sympathy that was the initial version. The early versions of Honky Tonk Women pre Mick Taylor joining, we have one demo but there might be dozens of alterations. Look how many versions of Brown Sugar in various versions from 1969 through 1971 circulate.
We know factually there are dozens of takes of Beggar's Banquet and LIB songs, and songs in early states from LIB sessions that would end up on Exile.

We know there's a couple of hundred hours of Rock N' Roll Circus footage including alternate takes, and numbers that were rehearsed but not officially played.

Or, shows like MSG 1969 we know exist in 1969 but haven't been released.

There has to be thousands of things from the studio and that exist in their vaults we've never heard ranging from sketches to full fledged songs, and the Stones could easily hire someone to get this all out there and monetize it - but they don't.

My question is, why?

I am still waiting for FFSO parts 2 and 3, lol

I would gladly take those any day over another 1982 or 1989 (previously released on PPV) live release

Maybe the Eagle Rock contract is expired, and they just DGAF.

The vaults are inmense, but some of the best material need Abkco approval even they (Abkco) do not have the pyshical format media

Their next of kin will release the vaults when the band is dead and gone.

Like Jimi Hendrix and many more that have released more stuff dead than when they were alive and well!

They all need some kind of "curator", it's not just to open the vaults and release already released material, like Abkco did with many "deluxe editions" with recycled material

Imagine a good show of 1967 in Europe or,like mentioned above, MSG 1969 with the opening acts too

The deluxe Ya-Ya's has the BB King & Ike/Tina opening sets.

Yes, but it's audio only, I have it... What I want is a video

I want audio if they have it from 1963-2024

Do we know if any shows from 1967 were fully filmed professionally?

Live my holy grails are MSG 1969, any other 1969 shows that were filmed, the Dick Cavett shows even though not truly live, Rock N' Roll Circus with cut songs / alt takes / alt angles, and the 1986 show....

Studio basically I'd pay a good $1000 for every thing they recorded from 1966-1970. Even sketches. Even if it's just Keith fucking around with a guitar lick that never amounted. I wanna hear it all.

I guess it's a matter of quality control too bad they don't lower the bar lol

Dude, we got Scarlet!

Scarlet seems like a mishmash New Jagger vocals I don't know what's going on in that song
