Here is my take on all this...
I am not an audophile. I love the Stones. I have Exile and pretty much all the highly circulated bootleg material. I don't need a remastered Exile unless I can tell the difference (like you could with the Beatles ReMasters) on my present low tech sound system. Since I'm all digital I don't care about the 7"!!

I am not the "ultimate collector"-another term well known to many here is hoarder....
I AM interested in the "new" songs and the DVD material
unless it is the same stuff I have and not worth the bother. (I'll wait for someone's review) I have worn out my Exile CD so I guess I can spring for that and the new songs..
I feel your pain, guys. But haven't we learned by now that you can't always get what you want....
I don't buy that PDM. For the last 5 (?) years it's more like you can't
ever get what you want. In other words, you should have said, don't you know by now, (You Can't Get No) Satisfaction?
And that, sadly, is because the one-time masters of releasing rock and roll product and producing live rock and roll shows are no longer capable of providing competent service to their devoted customer base.
I keep thinking of this in terms of the sheer economics that Jagger is supposed to be such a ('scuse me)
whizz at.
How many potential C+ notes are going to go back into the wallets of people like me who will decide they don't need EXile DeluXe because the new material isn't on vinyl? A lot, I would imagine. Enough to offset the cost of pressing, mastering, and packaging that third LP? Well, you'd think so, especially considering that it's listing for anywhere from $30 to $100 more than the Ya Ya's set, which was also 3 LPs, a DVD, a book, and two CDs. So a potential revenue stream is replaced instead by a white elephant useful ONLY to hoarders who still have to have everything and say they're grateful to whatever product the band chooses to peddle.
Rolling Stones Inc. is stupid. Mondo stupid to lose me as a customer for a fucking rerelease vinyl object. Incompetence of the highest commercial order. Somebody put this firm under new management.
I would like to note, however, that I am still on board for the 7".
