So how much can the technology improve since 2009 to even make remastering worthwhile? Seems a little silly...

Who is talking about new remastering???
UMG put out the 2009 remasters and pressed some tens of thousands from each album and delivered them to some big stores, like Saturn, Media Market, Amazon, etc etc. This number of copies is nearly sold out now.
So UMG will press some re-releases from those 2009-Remasters (Exile 2010), starting with Some Girls ...
Same procedure as every time ...
etc

First paragraph of the announcement: "The Rolling Stones are pleased to announce the release on November 21, 2011 of the re-mastered, expanded, Super-Deluxe, Deluxe and Digital editions of Some Girls, the groundbreaking album which introduced the music of the Rolling Stones to a whole new generation of fans."

FreeBirdHow can you tell without even having heard the new versions?Quote

It'd be great if they could provide us the original versions of these tracks...completely untouched but made available only as a download or something. It's not the "completist" in me that needs them...but rather someone who actually prefers those versions as they are.

Easy. Because I absolutely shutter at the sound of Mick's new "singing" today...the back of throat/nasally voice he uses. It's more a head voice than him using his lungs. Since he had to ADD new vocals..no doubt it's the same kind of stuff we've gotten from him on Alfie, 40 Licks (Don't Stop etc), ABB....the Exile new songs and now Superheavy. No thanks.

At the Media Markt in my town the Stones shelf is empty.
People are still buying their stuff.

Only the new bonus tracks are new [2011] remasters and some remixes, too.

"The bonus tracks hopefully won't be brickwalled!"
Why? You can easily brickwall a 1978 recording. The evil doing is done at the Mastering stage not during the recording itself. These days there's a lot of music lovingly recorded by sound engineers... then the music is butchered by hot Mastering "cos ya know it... it sounds better on FM radios and Ipods". Puke...

Now listed for pre-order on Amazon UK - £15 for the 2CD version, £89 for the Super Deluxe Version.
Also in his Times interview, I see that Mick says that there are 12 new tracks...

EVEN BETTER NEWS!
Thanks for the heads up...I checked the various Amazon country sites, and found UK's price to be the best, so I preordered the SuperDeluxe version.
When you go to the cart, before buying, it comes in at under 75 pounds, don't know why they do this, but I've bought before and receive similiar discounts.
If price drops again, you're guaranteed the lowest price.
Amazon.com is selling same package for $169.
It's still pricey and may not be for everyone, but at least its not as bad.
