I really don't see the point in re-mastering recent albums like ABB - it was only 4 years ago after all and the sound is not surely going to differ much from that version

I guess if they're doing some, they may as well do them all.

However, as the Virgin releases of these albums are now all deleted the point of the whole exercise is primarily to have them available again. The remastering is just really more of a carrot dangled in front of those of us who already own them to get us to buy them again - I suppose they have to be seen to be doing SOMETHING.

Whether you think it's enough is personal opinion. My ears aren't getting any better so I doubt I'll hear much improvement on the already excellent 1994 remasters and without bonus material I've absolutely no interest.

W/o extra material, this is an exercise in futility. I know EOMS is supposed to get extra stuff but I was listening to some boots today & it's a shame they can't give Strictly Memphis an official release.

An exercise in futility is putting it mildly. Sales of these 4 albums in the first 2 weeks in the US were reported as 7,000.

I think I mentioned a week or two ago that apparently that figure now counts sales since AUGUST when the still available Virgin/EMI versions of the albums were included in the Universal figures after they took over the contract.

Meanwhile, the Beatles back catalogue - which is all just old material and which hasnt been remastered in about 2 decades and wont be until the albums are reissued in September 2009 - has sold 21 million albums in the US in this decade alone. Second only to Eminem.

According to an eye-witness report from the former Mrs Kurt Cobain, her good friend Don Was has been mixing some unreleased Exile outtakes (presumably) for the upcoming remastered deluxe edition.

those are mp3's, not really the way to listen to something that is being done to hear the best audio quality version of ... If someone posted flacs of the remasters, I'd be all over it. I just can't see spending money on Stones stuff I've owned 4 to 5 times already, even if it is the best quality... too much other stuff to get.
