Yes but I didn't buy the Mirror, so maybe that doesn't count winking smiley

I did. Unfortunately, I also bought Rockferrry at the same time.

But, despite it often being said that the Stones main fan base is now in the US, I think this chart performance shows that we Brits still have musical taste!

As an American, I feel that generally speaking, Europeans have better musical tastes than most of my countrymen.

In terms of spending lots of money on concert tickets - yes
In terms of buying their later releases - no

Its quite bizarre that the two dont match.

Isn't this partly because the US is just so much bigger and so alot more people (including Stones fan) there?

No, this is due to the fact that Americans are used to paying a lot more for their concert tickets. Try charging a European 500 USD for a concert ticket, like I paid for my ticket at the cancelled Atlantic City show in 2006...

We're more people in Europe than in the US, didn't you know?

But why on earth are people prepared to spend so much on concert tickets in the US ( not to mention the high priced merchandise ) but then not buy a cheap CD? It doesn't make much sense to me.
