I can vouch for Martin. Finally met him face to face at the 2nd Hollywood Bowl show in 2005. Thanks for the heads up on his new edition being published.

The 1st edition was a great reference book for collectors and fans. I'll be ordering this one.Hopefully I'll be catching up with Martin at Ronnie's Hammersmith gig .

I have the Aeppli, Karnbach, Zentgraf, Hoffmann books. Great stuff and precious informations.
But how can anyone pretend knowing the whole recordings ? Plundered my soul or Precious Love are a few examples of unknown songs among others and not always mentionned in those books (solo works like Devil Sessions with MJ has been known only because a bootleg came out). Same for the complete Satanic sessions kept in the vault during 30 years or the Voodoo sessions.

I dont think anyone has 'pretended' to know everything. No definitive account exists. By that yardstick, presumably no one should bother writing any book detailing the band's recording history.
I'm pretty sure 'For Your Precious Love' was mentioned in some of these books before it circulated. As for 'Plundered my Soul' - I doubt such a title even existed until 2009. There may have been a backing track, but the lyrics and vocals and some musical parts were newly recorded.
There's even some doubt that 'Plundered' was recorded for Exile at all. No surprise, going by the band's own bizarre criteria for including songs on that bonus disc and their rewriting of their own history to suit it - ie, Jagger stating that he considers a July 1969 recording of 'Loving Cup' as the starting point for Exile sessions and the fact that they included an instrumental which, if anything, is probably a 'Satanic Majesties' outtake.

The 1st edition was a feast of errors, sorry to say. The book smelt like toilet paper.... There's better info around IMHO.

There was a second edition about 5 years ago, which was very good.

Just cos someone's book is full of errors does not make them a bad person.

Wonder if it will be available as an eBook?
