The argument that Mick doesn't want to look in the past is utter bullsh#t. If that were the case, than why oh why do the Stones the same 15 warhorses every(stadium) show? (and don't play a lot of newer material?)
its because of that wonderful thing called THE CASUAL FAN
.....hey--that's where they make their money--like any other band....hard-core fanatics don't fill the coffers for these guys--CASUAL fans do--they don't ask for too much and are happy just to see them every coupla years and maybe buy a t-shirt and poster..and a remastered lp with no bonus materiel and they don't mind if there is'nt a NEW lp..because...they are only CASUAL fans--the Stones bread and butter!!!!--they could'nt give a hang about us freaks!!Quote

..i disagree---the fans i see in the $500 seats ARE very casual fans--yakking on cell phones and just trying to "make the scene"...its not "us freaks" that buy the same discs over and over --its new generations of kids who don't have them who buy the new "remasters"..besides --how many hardcores do you really figure there are?? these days i would say, not too many anymore..not enough for the stones to amass that gigantic fortune anyhow...of course this is my opinion only..annd i have had a coupla cold ones!!..Quote

lunar, you are usually wise but this time you are making the most ridiculous statement here! The HARD CORES are the ones that buy the cds and spend all the bread(Who else would buy the same collections year after year with a promise of
"new Mix"!) And casual fans do NOT shell out the kinda cash these guys charge for tickets(way above most other bands). The unreleased concert sbs and outtakes(in perfect quality) would keep the band in cd royalties for YEARS to come if handled correctly.

What i was trying to say is that Mick is not really spending much time in talking or willing to releas old stuff or unreleased recordings into a cd (set)
if they want to, they already could have done the same as .. U2 or others .. the stones have so much Pay Per View stuff, just take hampton or any other one into a dvd .. but hey they dont care about old material .. jagger long time ago sung gotta walk and dont look back .. and this topic has nothing to do with the songs (war horses) they play on stage .. take care all ...
this is the truth about why the vaults will not be opened in our lifetime because of mick's greed letting go of a penny. very insightfull post.Quote

Could it be that Mick's reluctance to put out archive material is partly because:
-The pre 1972 material (or rather live versions of): ABKCO as holders of the publishing rights would get income
-The post 1972 material (until the mid 80's): EMI Publishing has as interest - not sure for hom much longer. If Mick negotiates with another publisher to admister, but under their Promopub company, it would mean less for the Stones to share out,perhaps.
Any views?

Well,lunar-you have a point there(and it aint the one on top of yer head-sorry-LOL!) I DO remember being irritated at the people behind me on their cell phone at the last show I went to. But I guess I still have to split with you on the remasters as I really do think hardcores keep looking for that "perfect" sounding release!
