Well, just THREE of them are getting together - saying that, thats not an unusual thing to do in the early stages of any band project (awaits Contact Music's 'spin' on the story which will be along the lines that they're making a record without Mick.....
)
The good sign is that there's an intent to work together. THAT wouldnt happen if there wasn't a plan that something will happen in 2012. Clearly they're aware of the risk of being too rusty when they do.
Nice little insight by Keith on how he and Mick went through the Some Girls outtakes - and a very promising sign of things to come from Don Was.... as long as Mick doesnt start putting 2012 vocals on 1968 outtakes....

Well.. not to start the age old debate again, however I'd say there is now definitely a plan to record. It is ridiculously too early to simply be wanting to start to rehearse some stuff for a possible tour or some live shows next year. As well ... if they were only wanting to jam a bit, they really wouldn't need to rent a studio to do such. As well, you can bet the bottom dollar these jam sessions will ALL be recorded with D. Was there... so I know hes hoping/ or already knows it is to go down one way or another. Sounds quite promising for some new material.
As well ... people bitch about Don Was constantly and how they wish they would find someone eles. Well first let's look at what the guy has been able to carry them through. Voodoo, Stripped, the temperate/disagreements of Bridges to Babylon, Licks singles, a back to basics album recorded primarily at Mr. Jagger's house. All the studio albums are high quality ... and ............ with the request of The Stones and the record company he has walked them through the new Exile project and this Some Girls re-release.
. . . . .Now he wants to do the whole set including Let It Bleed, Beggars, and Sticky fingers in due time.
Really, how can you bitch? ...
