And like the rest of you, I'm bewildered as to why two compilations and five live albums are getting the treatment - but "Some Girls" isn't.

With such little time since the deal was consumated I cant get excited about another re-packaging money grab. If they had time to add unreleased stuff maybe or if there was some new technology but there isnt.I need another version of Exile like I needa hole in the head.Guess this will keep Mickboy busy anyway.

By now, they've all been so remastered that further remastering cannot be the hook. Maybe they'll release a Karaoke disc so all us drunk ass Stones fans can sing along!!

Universals 'Deluxe Edition' series usually amounts to a 2-cd set, consisting of a remasterd original album, plus a mixture of bonus tracks - usually in the form of b-sides, live cuts, outtakes etc.

It SHOULD be good. Although as Gazza has pointed here and over on Tell Me, it could prove to be a waste of money for some of us. Rarities should’ve taken care of all the non-album b-sides for starters.

Yep - If you want all of 'em!

I, personally, am only likely to purchase those CD's in which, I only currently own the CBS version of. IE, Goats Head Soup. Some Girls is another - though for some bonkers reason - doesn't seem to be on 'the list'.

You could be looking at spending a fortune buying 17 studio and live albums all over again for the 4th or 5th time just to get, maybe, 4 or 5 discs worth of previously unreleased material.

No doubt theyve already factored that in - but theres also the fact that in the i-tunes era., you dont have to buy the albums again just to get the stuff you dont already have.

No way am I buying them all over again (there's still 1 or 2 of the Virgin and most of the ABKCO remasters that I dont have). I'll just download the 'new' songs.

There's no surprise Universal was going to re-issue. That was a given with the deal, no point in buying the rights and not selling the albums. Now... what will happen? Remaster, bonus tracks, live stuff never before released ect...
More than anything, after crossing my fingers on some real great bonus stuff, is this going to be remastered, and by whom? I think most of us, are in agreement, the 94's especially SF's and Exile are perfect now... They can only fuck those up if they make them louder and ruin them with some crappy EQ job!

I'll check it out. As i've said before, they might do something similar to what the Doors did. Re-mastering is ok - maybe 5.1??? Also, maybe official clips and b sides, alternative versions etc.

And as it happens, i've lost my re-mastered 94 Tattoo You - so there's at least 1 i'll get.

And i can think maybe they'll go back to the original tapes and remaster Love you live - which badly needs it. Mabye include the full version of Fingerprint File?

sometime during the mid '90's virgin records came out with an oversized issue version cd's. these dandys were great. they came in original record packaging cases. i bought exile on main streeet and black and blue. i dusted off my black and blue issue and last night and gave it a listen....haven't heard this in ages.

i know this is bit off topic

does anyone out there remember this and did you buy any of these?

black and blue rehearsals were done on long island ny and they have them throwing the sparklers that read 'STONES'
and it is so cool to have a teeny copy of that sheet that came along with the exile record.

everybody say owww
