As for C¤cks_cker Blues, Mick has stated in an interview the he'd love to see the film released (see quote below). But Robert Frank's representatives said during one of the screening events in NY recently that they could not release it officially with respect to relatives of some people in the movie. There are probably no real contractual problems, but the film is a little controversial and probably has little commercial potential. If you ask me, I love it, but I believe there are several hardcore fans here who actually thinks it's boring. And the Stones aren't really known for putting out obscure archive releases even if that's what they should do.

So if CS Blues comes out with this Exile reissue, that would be REALLY surprising.

Any chance you'll finally release "@#$%& Blues"?
Yeah, I wouldn't mind releasing it. It's fine.

How do you see the film now?
That's a good movie. It didn't come out — but that's a classic. I wanted to make one kind of movie, but the director @#$%& you over because he doesn't want to do the movie he's agreed to make. I said, "You could make this dark movie, but you got to have these other up moments because being on tour is all about going onstage, you know?"
What you have for breakfast is fascinating, and what drugs you're taking and what birds you're shagging, that's all very lovely. But then for you, the going out onstage is the important part, and you have to include that. And [Robert Frank] wouldn't include it. So I got really mad at him, as we fired him. That's the problem you can get into with hiring directors.

Maybe they've been making Ladies & Gentlemen into an IMAX movie...

Here is the ultimate Sophia Loren song. Maybe the Exile version is an answer?!
Peter Sarstedt, Where Do You Go To My Lovely

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair

You live in a fancy appartement
Of the Boulevard of St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones recordAnd a friend of Sacha Distel

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head

I've seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

When you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pines
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs

When the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy
But you never get your lips wet

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

Your name is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for chistmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh haha

They say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, they give a damn

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head

I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly brown tags, yes they try

So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
'Cause I know you still bear
the scar, deep inside, yes you do

I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head

that song above has recently gained popularity again when it was featured in a movie - i just can't think of the name of the movie now, but it was a good film with that guy with the huge nose.

This is cool and all, but who cares about three un-released tunes from 40 years ago?

Don't cry Skipstone. All re-releases are not remixed but only remastered. Correct?!
So, we could plenty of opportunities for the next reissues:
Remixed with bonus tracks
Remastered with bonus tracks
Remixed without bonus tracks
And in 2062 we get the originals in mono on vinyl again.

And that's just it - what is so bad about it? I don't hear anything that sucks. But he does it seems. So it would be different. Pearl Jam remixed Ten. I don't know for sure but it seems that not very many bands, as a whole, remix an old album. Seems that with Mick saying he'd like to remix it he would have just done it by now. Whether or not it would be released that way is something else. But certainly he's had plenty of time and access to do it.

Ah but he's been too busy with things like Dogshit In The Doorway and working with Dave Stewart and movies and other non-Stones projects. His fault.

He's lazy!!!

With the mixing of the tracks for the extra tracks for the Exile reissue they had, or he had, or Mick and Don had, the opportunity to remix Exile. What happened after the extra tracks...obviously Mick had to fly somewhere for a new suit or new shoes or something like that...
