The piece below was posted on one of the torrent sites which the Scorpio box is posted on....do you believe it ?

A story I must tell ya, last weekend I was on the same British
Airways flight from Capetown into London as did Mick
Jagger. We had both attented the World Cup and chatted
along over football (soccer for those @ the US of A).
And I told him about this box set. He was really interested
in it, so we checked HC 10 000 feet above ground. He could
not believe it and wanted to download it as well for commercial
release. He said, they not have new stuff in the pipeline for X-mas,
but to release this 6 CD box set would be a nice idea.
Even at a budget price. "The fans buy all kind of of crap, even
the 10 songs from EOMS....", so why not give them
the real stuff.

Of course it's bullshit to help sales for Scorpio. First off, the majority of the tracks are not even owned by the Stones. Secondly, large chunks of it are officially available already (nothing endears artists to bootleggers than having official product ripped off). Third, Jagger has always kept up-to-date on bootlegs. As soon as he heard this set he would quickly realize that despite the nice packaging, superior quality versions of numerous tracks are already available on countless other bootlegs - the majority on this very site for free with the band's own blessing or official blind-eye depending on how you look at it. A nice fantasy story, but nothing more. Wonder if it was the same guy Jagger "talked" to in 1983 about how their music is designed to make young people have illegitimate children. Same method, different story. Both are BS.
