in the same manner as Tattoo You? They talked about this around the time of the delayed B2B shows in 99. Would be an interesting album.

I think it would be better to use these outtakes:

[www.iorr.org]

...especially if the quality of VL/B2B era outtakes are similar to "Anyway you look at it" or "We don't wannna go home'.

We've got great Voodoo outtake compilations such as Voodoo Stew, Voodoo Brew, Voodoo Residue, excellent sound quality and excellent compositions like Northern Girl, but no or few outtakes of B2B I think. So at first I want to hear the B2B's. But the outtakes of Voodoo are worth to be released as well.

What's wrong with an album of new material? ABB was good.

I doubt we'll see a VL or B2B 2 disc special edition ala Exile or Some Girls...but I'd buy an outtakes compilation from these sessions. B2B was a great album.

Hopefully not.

Why's that then?

I think for the next project they should all overdub onto one of Brian Jones' demo tapes. Then the original Stones can reunite on record.

Sounds like Free As A Bird. I foresee mass protest on this forum.

I think I'll spend my money on 'Black Keys' next album instead...

this album (VL B"B Outtakes) was ready for release in 99 I think. but it was cancelled in alst minute, no tracklist or name etc.

it might happen.....jagger never liked the grooves don was used for VL....and id love to hear babyface mix of already over me and keiths guitar mix of might as well get juiced

I hope that they would do an expanded Sticky Fingers, Let it Bleed, or Beggars...the work their way up to Goats Head and IORR.

I've always been curious to this so called album that they had supposedly ready for release.

I recall reading about it in Record Collector. Given the time that had elapsed since the release of B2B and the delayed UK shows in 1999 the idea was to have a fresh(ish) product to go with the later shows. Even if they hadn't released it then such an album would have made a nice bridge between B2B and ABB.

...and the 20 tracks recorded in Suresnes in 2002 at the time of the "40 licks" album....!! ?....

"(...) Playing new music really tightens the band up. Getting everybody together for a month in Paris, I didn't mind if we came out with no tracks at all. But as it turned out, we came out with 30 tracks! On our very first night in Paris we got three tracks down. Everybody went, Yeah. Out of the 30 songs we recorded, we mixed four or five. We're still dickering between them right now, figuring out what will go on the album. But my strategy worked, I think. Everyone's got their chops together and they're really looking forward to this tour. It's not just a regurgitation. It's still a working band.

- Keith Richards, July 2002

"We recorded a lot of material in Paris in 2002... We came away with 28 songs. We had the basis for a while for a new album, but we didn't have time before we got caught up in the Forty Licks tour to do the overdubs and polish the songs off".

- Ron Wood, 2003

I thought it was important to get the boys playing new stuff. When we were recording in Paris in May, I thought we might get 4 or 5 tracks down. We got 30.

- Keith Richards, October 2002

"(W)e've got (new tracks) in the can, and in a way I'm going to try to work on them and see if there's an album in there or the beginnings of an album or what. It seems like there's a lot there and it was a very profitable and prolific month in Paris, so I'm not going to just let them sit in the can and forget about them. But at the moment I can't do anything but this. But once this tour gets going, maybe I'll find some time to start working on them.

- Keith Richards, August 2002

We went there, in Paris, to do 6 songs, and we ended up doing 25. Like, we have another new album in the making, if you like, out of the Paris sessions. I would say it wouldn't take more than a few months to do the final vocals and mixing. There's not much needs doing to the basic tracks - you know, maybe an overdub here and there - but if we were forced, we could have it out in a couple of months.

- Ron Wood, October 2002

(We recorded) 28 bits: 28 songs is pushing it, wouldn't that be nice? But there's a lot of great ideas, we've got a lot of stuff for an album that could come afterwards. Maybe with technology we could finish it on the road, like we did with Stripped.

- Mick Jagger, August 2002

They may have 100 unreleased songs from 1989, 1993 or 1996 but all it took was three or four golden pieces to make TY into their last great album. I or some other fan could easily go through their vaults and make an album, mix and produce it to make it sound good but the problem is, I think, that they surround themselves with yes-men who has to put up with and please Mick and or Keith.

...this is the problem

these licks songs i think are just ideas in many ways, we have the hurricane outtake i think and then we have two numbers on the licks dvd, so maybe there´s not THAT much

Ron and Keith talked about 25/30 songs and not simple ideas! In any case, the problem is the quality of these songs/ideas and if those songs are like 'Losing My Touch', 'Keys to your love', 'Stealing my heart', 'Well Well' and 'Extreme western grip'...

Listened to B2B this morning, and found it top quality. It shows a wonderful split between Mick and Keith's ideas.

I'd like to see a rarities set with their version of For Your Precious Love on it.

I agree with this. I would LOVE to see an official release of this song!!!!

Me, I always thought these two LPs were good in their own right. One could make a
GREAT LP from combining elements of the two. But ... ah, which ones?

yes, they talked about, but i don´t know if songs in their opinions means songs in our opinions

...and what about the 'mysterious' B2B outtake called 'High or Low'?!

Jan. 10, 2002: Keith collaboration with Sheryl Crow
Keith and Sheryl Crow have been working on a song called "High and Low", she told reporters backstage at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles last night. It is still a work-in-progress and it won't be on her album, which comes out in a few months.

...and these?? I had never heard of these two songs ..
