Me too. 2-CD version, will record the 'Stones in Exile' off the TV and will buy the DVD when its out but thats it.

I probably wouldnt look at the book more than a couple of times (likewise with the Dylan 'Tell Tale Signs' one), and I already own two vinyl copies of the album (Gottorollme generously sent me her original a couple of years ago, with postcards) - and my ears ain't getting any better!

Shitload of cash, but I´m celebrating the greatest record of all time. I go easy on the deluxe packages most of the time. Not this one though: it's the album I've been worshipping for 20 years now, and it still gets better with every spin.

It's weird. I buy one or two discs a week, and some albums got more spinning time over a short period, but for me it all begins and ends with Exile. So I almost feel I owe it to Exile and the Stones to buy the big box, because of the joy the record gave me over the years and will continue to give me for the rest of my life.

I'm still in the market for an original with the cards. Lost a bid on the web once or twice, but that's it. what pissed me off is that I missed the Exile On Main St Blues flex-record because I was away from the web for a weekend. Someone went ONE fucken euro further than I did. Still, it feels good to be hunting for some of the goods.

"Last week's "American Idol" featured selections from the Rolling Stones songbook, and SoundScan is reporting heavy increases for the band's hits collection "Hot Rocks 1964-71." Overall, sales of the album were up 79%, according to SoundScan, but some perspective. Though "Idol" hopefuls gave the Glimmer Twins' songs the grandest of karaoke stages, the Stones' hit set still failed to crack the top 200. The No. 200 album this week is Three Days Grace's "One-X," which sold a little more than 3,000 copies. "

Ouch!

Soldatti,

Wouldn't the Stones be ineligible for the top 200 because all of their albums are over 2 years old? Or has that rule changed?

The rule changed in November 2009, so 2+ years old albums could be on the main chart again by first time since 1991 when that ridiculous "catalog" chart was included.
I checked the sales last week and no Stones album sold over 3,000 copies with Jump Back being the best seller with 2,200 copies, Hot Rocks scaned 1,800 copies.

The audience of "Idol" was of 23 million viewers...

OK! I will get the deluxe CD set, the longer DVD when it comes out, and eventually I think that book will show up on RS.com for sale too. If not I can live without another RS book. The NEW music is the MAIN thing! I cant wait to crack that CD case open and blast it as loud as I can on surround sound! We waited a long time for these gems, and the bonus for me is the 'enhanced' Mick Taylor song ~ uh, which song is it, do we know that yet?

Semi-OT: Phish will be releasing a 3D movie next month, filmed at last fall's three-day Festival 8.
Some of their Halloween performance of 'Exile' is included - www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpJOlRokQ_E

Mentioned it previously, but imo they're a very good bet to be one of the 'Exile Week' guests on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon".

Gov't Mule is another...

I think he's on more than one. Probably on 'Plundered my soul' for sure, as thats the one (I think) that Jagger did a new vocal for.

Nope, according to the RS interview, the one with the new vocal is "Following the River"
Quote:

Tell me about "Following the River." That's a brand new vocal, right?

I just started from nothing on that. The core tape of it was the piano and the drums, bass, and guitar. There was no top line or lyric. I started from scratch — I mean, that's what I do, and I've done it many times before. And it's daunting in the beginning, but after a while you get into it.

Must admit I had to double-check, I still confuse the song titles at this point Wink

Let's hope so, I still have a hard time believing they passed on gems for Exile...maybe good stuff that didn't fit the mood ? Dunno, never really got over the disastrous new "songs" from the "great" (according to Keith) 2002 Suresnes sessions they used to push "Four Flicks". I'll name one : "Extreme Western Grip", I'd be surprised whether anyone else can name the other one without looking it up!

the Fort Worth show was filmed - in full - for a planned 1978 concert movie with the highly original title of 'Ladies & Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones' (the 3rd time they'd used that title as the Marquee show uses it as well).

Only 28 minutes of it (the first six songs or so) has ever circulated, and I've never seen it (or heard of anyone having it) in particularly good quality.

There are better shows from this tour, performance wise, but a DVD of that one would do very nicely indeed.

Yeah, I've got those 6 songs from Ft. Worth.
Somebody has the complete show somewhere.

One of my favorite '78 shows is from the Capitol Theatre in NJ.

The Capitol had B & W video screens, and there've been boots of Springsteen, Grateful Dead and The Clash circulating for years.
Don't know if they used them for the Stones, but I'd love to see it if they did...

I'm a little bit confused here with the number of pages of the editions. The Japanese version apparently will have a 92-page booklet, the British version 64 and the US version only 50. Is this a mistake or is for real?
