this does NOT bode well for tickets sales of the 2010 UMG Remasters Tour

Hey, what do you expect? The Stones didn't release a new album, only re-released there old ones to fill up the empty stores left by Virgin. These CDs are classics and a "must" for every reseller to put them at their display.

Does some store have exclusive rights to sell the the UMG stuff?
I was in Target and Best Buy stores yesterday and hardly any Stones at all, def. no new re-releases.

Thats a classic misunderstanding of how the business works for resellers - if they dont sell, the racks will remain empty in future and the space will be filled with other stuff...no matter how "classic" certain albums and certain artists are - if they dont sell, the products shelf life will be short.

How many remasters can we take? I have 10-15 copies of Licks. And 5-10 different versions of Sticky Fingers and a lot of the other albums. The original vinyl is still my original stuff, but may be one day I want all of this 100% digital. On all my discs and PC's... I don't need any more plastic CD products with repackaged booklets.

They're not The Beatles, AC/DC, U2 or Pink Floyd - their back catalogue does not sell like those 4 do. Nobody cares.

i think most people are satisfied with the sound quality of the virgin remasters. these are hard times and most people will not spend money on something they already have.
