i know it's been booted for years...but will it ever be officially released?

I would appreciate it, even the sound quality of the boots is great on the most tracks.

I would love it, and I haven't even heard the bootlegs. Most every band/artist that has appeared on the BBC has an album (more often than not double album) of their performances, I don't see why the Stones shouldn't.

Many people consider the BBC boots to be essential.

Fine if they release them but no remastering as they sound as they should ...warm radio AM broadcasting

All the more reason to release them. I'm personally not big on bootlegs. Especially with the Stones. There is SO much out there, it's like wading through a sea of stuff, with varying degrees of quality. Even some of the bootlegs that are praised for their quality I find unlistenable. Back Strap Jacket is the only one I ever really listen to.

Beat Beat Beat at the Beeb, that's all you need, doubt if anything released will sound much better.

The question would be what's in it for the Stones? Aren't most of the cuts covers that they wouldn't get royalties on? And even so, the ones they wrote at the time are embroiled with the ABCKO era.

I'd much rather they released the Radio Luxembourg session they recorded on march 18th 1964. I believe Bill has an acetate. Track listing is said to be
1 Bye Bye Johnny 2 I Wanna Be Your Man 3 Diddley Daddy 4 Little By Little 5 Look What You’ve Done 6 Mona 7 Not Fade Away 8 Now I’ve Got A Witness 9 Pretty Thing
10 Walking The Dog 11 You Better Move On 12 Reelin’ And Rockin’ 13 Roll Over Beethoven 14 Route 66
The BBC sessions are widely available if you want them and any release would almost certainly not be an audio upgrade as the BBC retained so few tracks. I think everything they have was aired on Stones at the beeb. The Luxembourg recordings probably have a bit of snap,crackle and pop from the acetate but would essentially be a good quality studio recording of the live band in action. Plus there wouldn't be the legal problems of licencing the BBC tracks (and Bill could get an extra bonus as owner of the acetate ! ). ABKCO may not be involved as the recordings presumably aren't covered by the decca contract. And finally we get to hear some new recordings not in circulation.
Of course a triple cd featuring all BBC and Radio Luxembourg recordings would be even better.

Very interesting Ash,did"nt know about Luxembourg ,I "d love to here that ,up there with rare Station Hotel gig.

There are several BBC performances that were never bootlegged. Whether they still exist in the BBC's archives is another thing, of course.

Anyone remember this story from January 1998?

Agree with you on that, completely. And judging by the 4 tracks available from the next day; March 19th 1964 - at Camden Theatre - the band was in terrific shape this "week". And what an excellent setlist

The Stones at the Beeb which was aired in the mid-80s only had about 15 tracks as far as I remember. The BBC Sessions boot I've got has 57 tracks. And even that isn't all of them.

Yeah, Dust My Pyramids That would have been something...

+ Stones fans in Britain listening to the BBC World Services suddenly woke up, when they broadcasted bits of Cops And Robbers at about 4am this morning, as part of a presentation of the just discovered BBC tapes. David Lister from the UK paper The Independent was the first outside BBC to get into their archives to hear these tapes, and his comments after listening to 20 or so songs, are: It's fascinating, raw, earthy blues and rock'n'roll, with moments of surprising tenderness.. They now claim to have found up to 40 songs. See more news about these tapes published here some days ago...

This is from their database. A couple of the dates are wrong but are the same versions we know. The database was used so other worldwide radio stations could peruse and licence for broadcast. Of course BBC licence fee payers are not allowed to hear this stuff !! Doh !
