And you just treat them if they were new, to be perfectly honest

It happens like that and you just do it.

It's no secret that Jagger doesn't have a huge interest on looking to the past. He want to continue to prove that he is vital, etc. Given that, I was kinda surprised when I heard they were going to go into the vaults to dust off some unreleased tracks from the Exile era. Now, seeing how these old tracks have been treated, it all make a lot more sense to me. To me it appears Mick has used these old tracks as a vehicle to show he can still write, sing, etc. That's all fine and dandy and I can take these new tracks for what they are.
From what he's stated there wasn't a lot to work with in terms of unreleased tracks with finished (or close to finished) vocals. Given that, I'd have been just as happy (or happier) if they'd taken alternate versions of the Exile tracks we've known for years and given them the full remaster treatment. We've heard a lot of them via bootlegs but I'd love to hear those tracks cleaned up and there have to be takes that still haven't seen the light of day.
Like I said, I can take these "new" tracks for what they are but I'm not really sure that the band has produced the Exile "document" that they could/should have.

If one is to bitch about this new material on the second Exile disc then they should bitch about Tattoo You as well, yet alone a number of songs on other albums yet alone Exile On Main Street not all being from the same sessions. .

I like this too. It's hard, though.
I want to hear this stuff, but a true Exile document would have been way better. (How many repeated listenings your average rock fan would give something like that it is another matter.)

That ain't an analogy. That's realistic by making the point that a lot of the albums are stretches, not all from one session. There are others that speak of these same things. It was said with a slight wink - you just can't see it.

The key difference for me being that the album they put out was called Tattoo You. It wasn't called the Goats Head Soup re-issue, the Black and Blue re-issue, etc. As I've stated, I can happily take these tracks for what they are but if all the "new", previously unreleased tracks were done in the style of Plundered My Soul, then you can hardly call this a document of the original album, time, circumstance, etc.
