but we've got boots... in excellent quality.
I'd like them to release something we don't have in good quality... or don't know about at all... 70, 71 tours... etc etc studio outtakes...

Tattoo You had to be cobbled together from old leftovers. Only two of the songs on the album were cut specifically for the record. Hard to see how they could have made the album any longer than about 45 minutes, let alone add another disc.
Emotional Rescue had loads of extra songs - but its a 'minor' album and would be well down the pecking order for the deluxe treatment.
Theres only a small number of albums that culturally, critically and commercially would be viable for extended versions. Plus you have also the issue that every post-1970 album has now already been remastered within the last 12 months so it's a bit much to expect fans to buy them all over again.
A series of career retrospective releases (2 or 3-CD releases) covering their unreleased material in chronological order is a far more appropriate and comprehensive alternative IMO.
Your last statement would be a helluva project received with tremendous enthusiasm from Stones Junkies for sure. A possibility you think?

My own opinion is that every year or so they should release a 2-CD set of unreleased studio material - not necessarily outtakes, but also good alternate versions - and they could probably get six or seven years worth of material out of that.

the cultural implications are fascinating to contemplate....

Of the RS post 1970 stuff, I'd like to see Sticky Fingers, Some Girls, Emotional Rescue and Tattoo all get the Deluxe treatment - That 1977-78ish Pathe-Marconi stuff is just awesome and I sure as hell they don't limit the bonus tracks to 10 and I think I agree with another lister - not sure we need fresh vocals. But, then again - fresh vocals is better that not being released at all.

I'd love to have We Had it All and Let's Go Steady in official release quality!
