Whats this new album being released only through starbucks? is it A bigger bang with extras? Has anyone heard about this

This has the possibility of being true, from Billboard, July 29th, 2005:

"In November, EMI will release a Stones rarities disc featuring B-sides and songs from albums that have gone in and out of print. The collection will be sold through traditional retail and Starbucks.

Also tentatively planned for the holidays will be a special edition of "A Bigger Bang." "The content will come from the band and it will hopefully include extra tracks, remixes, video content, Web links and ringtones," Virgin U.S. executive VP of marketing Randy Miller says. The special edition will be available as a CD and DVD or a DualDisc."


The special edition might be sold through Starbucks.

"i thought the Stones subsequently said that neither project would happen"

Indeed. That's a lot of effort to put into an album which is only a nominal seller at best. They repackaged "Steel Wheels" for Xmas in 1989 but only because they must have had a few thousand extra of those metal boxes after the promos went out.

Then I think they learned their lesson with Flashpoint/Collectibles which must have been a break even proposition.

Don't get me wrong. I do hope they do it.

I was told in the UK once initial interest petered out they would issue a CD/DVD combo of ABB.

As for the rarities collection this would be nice but would probably only be a collection of remixes.

Thanks to all this Starbucks hype, I can't listen to @#$%& anymore without hearing "Starbucks" instead. Maybe they should license the song for a Starbucks commercial (edited of course). That would be funny.

you're a starbucker, starbucker, starbucker, starbucker

Actually, the official GHS sheet music book listed that as the lyrics! Too funny!
