Some more gossip on the Exile remaster, via Halup on IORR (he was the guy who Don Was played the just mastered 'She Saw Me Coming' for on his car hi-fi four years ago on the night 'A Bigger Bang' had just been finished)

I talked to Don Was 2 1/2 weeks ago after a charity show he performed at with Glenn Frey at the Roxy in Los Angeles. He told me he has been working on the Exile deluxe edition and indicated that it will include unreleased tracks. He said there's a lot of songs they are going through. Was indicated nothing about the deluxe edition including a DVD, but maybe he's not involved with that part of it.

Hmmm, unreleased tracks...I knew it wouldn't be a CS Blues DVD since that cannot be shown without the director present due to a court ruling. I was holding out hope for L&G although honestly, it doesn't matter since most of us have that on boot DVD anyway....

Unless it's something spectacular, I think I'll have to pass on these (I know I won't buy GHS...censored Star Star!)...

I'm surprised it's Exile being held back...even though it's a fan favorite, Mick has never cared for it at all...

No kidding? I remember my cassette back in high school had that extremely crude overdub to obscure the word pussy. Used to blast that baby in my yellow 74 Plymouth Gold Duster, which had a huge trunk and Jensen triaxial speakers. Ugliest damn car ever made. My hearing is what it is today in part because of that car.

Unbelievable in this day and age! I wonder why?

In any case, I'm very happy with my Mickboy remaster Dancing So Free for all my GHS-related needs. (You got that?)

Makes no sense...

Since this was only on the US version of GHS, it is the first time it has been on CD... regardless, don't need it, and I thought I was a completist...

eric Rocks Off Regular Offline Posts: 143	Re: Remastered Stones update Reply #33 - May 16^th, 2009 at 5:55am For what it's worth. I rather like the sound on the remastered Black & Blue disc. I know most are not happy with SF, but the sound in my car on that disc was very much in your face, kinda raunchy. Made me feel young and dirty.

the interest in these among audiophiles and die-hards is minimal, so the bravest of us, with money to burn are our only hope. Personally, unless these were said to be stellar, definitve type releases, I really can't buy these albums again. I have bought some of these like SF, about 6 times in my life. My money is going to be spent on something I never owned before, new Green Day, which is like a cross between Quadrophenia meets Gozdzilla and the new Deluxe Rancid album due out in two more weeks, which I have heard all the way through, and was blown away. I put on my Some Girls record the other day, 1994 version, and told myself, if this is the best mastering I can afford, I'm fine with this. I'm only interested in new to me stuff or definitve mastering. Like on the Who Deluxe of Sell Out, now that was money well spent!

I've heard these new Stones masters are good, but not leaps beyond what we already have. And the packaging/album art is no better, so I'll save my $$ for new music, as you said...

Another bit of info on the Exile reissue. Content is still unconfirmed, but at least now we have a release date plus verification of the titles of three of the previously unreleased songs - none of which have ever circulated, and two of which have never even been rumoured.

From the new issue of 'Uncut' (February 2010) in their 'Incoming' feature on upcoming new releases :

The long-awaited remastering of The Rolling Stones' 1972 masterpiece Exile On Main Street will be released on April 12, including three previously unreleased songs from the Exile sessions, "Following The River", "Plunder My Soul" and "Sophia Loren"

April 12 is (I think) the 39th anniversary of the original release date. 'Sophia Loren' is the only one of those three songs whose title is known to collectors - although no version of it has ever been bootlegged. No word yet on what else is to be included in the reissue, or whether or not there's more than 3 unreleased songs (No doubt there'll be several alternate versions of the released songs as well and a DVD documentary is strongly rumoured too)
