Outtakes that were updated? How many of these were on boots (or known) prior to official release?
Who worked on them? Mostly Mick, but what's the real story? Taylor? Keith? Bill?
Were some of these songs actually new (or at least not from that era)?
Why all the secrecy (and no privacy ....)?
Truth, please.

Well, but didn't Mick Jagger said that he considered songs for this from as early as 1969?

Well, we got one track which was most probably an edit from a 20 minute jam and turned out to be the best track since Start Me Up -Plundered My Soul (the single version that is). We got one track that was from '66, Title 5. One track that is a Jagger solo track, and hence godawful -Following the River. Soul Survivor is a nice view on what the cook is cooking. The rest? Worked up outtakes that are what they are: worked up outtakes.

Some were admittedly weak, but I don't know for sure if Travellin' Man or Hillside Blues came from the exile period. It was all worth it however, because we got Plundered My Soul, which was the best "new" Stones track in a quarter-century, imo.

It seems odd to critique songs that were left off of Exile in the first place, for not being good enough to be from the Exile sessions.

When the vaults finally fly open one day there will be tons of Some Girls tracks that weren't good enough for Some Girls. Lots of 'not quite' tracks from every session.
I' can't wait to hear them and perhaps agree that they should indeed have been left off of their respective LPs.
Still "I Ain't Signifying' would've fit perfectly on Side C of Exile.
