Maybe an easier option for the Stones these days to prepare a new album is to do a Tattoo You-style archive raid, selecting some earlier-recorded ideas and doing some polishing or rercording.

So, let's help 'em out. We can point them in the direction of some possibilites that they may have forgotten about, that they can dig out and work up to a releasable version.

My suggestion: Everlasting Is My Love from Paris 77-79 (i believe). Great great riff, a couple of good sections, nice title. Needs some polishing and maybe another bridge or middle 8 section.

What's your suggestions for the Stones, and why?

Most of Tattoo You went back about 2-4 years. The oldest stuff was just over 8 years old.

Going back thirty years or more to find songs to finish would be the ultimate in barrel scraping. No thanks. Doing something like that negates the point of any proper archives project, something which is much more preferable.

Besides, how do you know that the song youve mentioned (and its an interesting one, I agree) wasnt finished? All we've heard of is a take that someone stole and chose to leak.

I'd like to hear a 2010 version of "I Need You" or "I'll Let You Know"
Re Record it and put a price tag on it boys!

I'm ready.

"Everlasting ... " is a great choice.

How about "No Spare Parts"? "Slow Talking"? "You Got It Made"?

Oh, yeah, "Drift Away" and "Strictly Memphis".

...the 're-record' idea looks like an interesting option to me.
"Strictly Memphis", yes indeedie!

how about the reggae version of gomper? just a little touching up on those rasta-fied vocals....
