Really? I'm curious as to why you got the Deluxe set, when the Super Deluxe contains the 3 CD's and DVD as well?

It didn't chart anywere in Europe so far, not even Top 200 in U.K.
I don't know what happens with their sales, they are selling worse than ever in comparison with other artists from that era.

Perhaps milking out the past (once very groove) image policy plus the constant greatest hits tours had made The Stones not very sexy product in the record shops anymore. People may think why to buy any of these old albums (especially live albums) if one can see the band in a concert next year (or so) again. Let's put the money there. Perhaps the band is viewed more as a circus event than a group of artists making interesting records. Perhaps goddamn FORTY FLICKS or JUMP BACK is enough...Perhaps they will sell more once they are finally dead and gone, like the Beatles, Zeppelin, etc... perhaps perhaps perhaps... who knows...
Honestly, I think for all the minus forty somethings the image of the Stones is not the sweetest one, and for them it is hard to imagine that they actually were a real, breathing, interesting, innovative band, and not so goddamn old once. They've been playing the same goddam song some twenty years now, without any spark of innovation or creativity. Jagger can send the roses to Cohl.
