I'll be curious if ABKCO offers the bonus tracks individually to iTunes as I'm sure many folks with the 2002 remaster of YA-YA'S would prefer to simply spend the bare minimum to purchase five new songs rather than digging deep for a two-disc or four-disc box set.
$59.98 DOES seem like a pretty steep price to pay for the five bonus tracks, IF the five bonus tracks are all you're interested in.
and herein lies a classic example of what has led to unfettered illegal downloading...
Cant imagine anyone who would be interested in the 5 tracks WOULDNT also be interested in the DVD and 56-page booklet, though.
$60 for someone just wanting the extra 5 tracks is still a better deal than paying full price to buy 13 studio albums all over again (some issued for the 4th or 5th time) with NO extra tracks on any of 'em.

I'm actually quite surprised that amazon are advertising a release which wont be out for another two months.

I expected so much from this release, but I'm afraid I'm a little disappointed.
Disc 1 is the original release. OK, I have the original in three different releases, so nothing new there. Disc 2 says unreleased tracks. How many? What's been discussed here before is three tracks. I really hope there are some more, AND I would have wanted them included in the original to make it like a complete show. Disc 3, OK I like BB.King and Ike&Tina Turner, but this disc won't give anything more of the Rolling Stones. Disc 4 is a DVD that we still don't know much about. Let's hope for the complete show from 1969. Most deluxe versions of albums are also better soundwise or remixed, but in this case, we no nothing about that. In the worst case, the sound can be a step down from the 2002 remaster since that was DSP and SACD. And of course nothing said about surround sound, which I would have preferred, since live recordings in surround gives the ultimate experience of almost beeing there.

Congratulations. An in-depth slagging of a release that you haven't heard and of which you don't even know the contents. You've even managed to criticise how it will sound as well.

Well Wilhelm, how satisfied are you with this edition? WOuldn't you have liked a YA-Ya's version 2 with the whole concert sequenced on record as it was recorded once, with the five unreleased tracks?. Wouldn't you have preferred surround sound instead of the original sound? Anyway, I will probably buy it, but there are many things that could have been better in my opinion. I can dream, can't I.....?

Don't get me wrong. OK I haven't heard just this particular version yet, but I have heard the album many times during the years. The contents have been presented and I was only wrong about disc 2, Five songs instead of three. I know nothing about the sound, BUT I haven't critized it, but I fear that the sound can be a step down from the very good sounding SACD version from 2002. To be frank, what's left? Five unreleased tracks that we have to pay a fortune to get?

a new, more-caffeinated observation is: since Prodigal Son is listed as "unreleased",
that implies that it's not the Prodigal Son that's on the Criterion edition of GS -
either that or their definition of "unreleased" differs from mine (that's been known to happen!)

Disc: 2
1. Prodigal Son (Unreleased Track)
2. You Gotta Move (Unreleased Track)
3. Under My Thumb (Unreleased Track)
4. I m Free (Unreleased Track)
5. (I Can t Get No) Satisfaction (Unreleased Track)
Possibly it makes sense for disk 2 to be a full concert in its original running order. It would seem a little cheesy to release a box set with a CD of about 17 minutes. The Who's deluxe Tommy / Live at Leeds presented the show in original running order and with Tommy as a seperate disk.

Yeah. All well and good, but how much is going to be on the DVD. It might be 15 minutes of stuff.
