Yeah, I agree...I'm shocked that UMe would have allowed this. Maybe it was even their idea? If they were hoping for 40 Licks type sales, I think they're dreaming.
But again, comes down to what's inside the package, not just the package.
On the screen? You mean on the stage. There's sure to be a giant inflatable. Anatomically correct, with a massive todger ejaculating all over the front rows!

With respect,georgie, your memory is slightly off. Whilst they didnt announce the greatest hits album as such (the title hadnt even been settled at the time), Cohl specifically confirmed at the start of the press conference that just a few hours earlier an agreement had been reached between EMI and ABKCO to release - for the first time - a career spanning retrospective.
The reason they didnt make any major announcements before regarding greatest hits releases was because they generally get released between tours when there's no shows to promote and/or get released by their distributor as the band is leaving the label. So, the band's input tends to be minimal. When 40 Licks was announced there most definitely WAS sizeable press coverage about it.
For example :
[news.bbc.co.uk]
There's simply more coverage now about these things because of the nature of the internet era. There have only really been two 'new' Stones compilations in the internet era when you think about it. Three if you count Jump Back, which even got MTV/VH1 specials devoted to it, as I recall.
..and 'time waits for no one'..
and exactly whay should i be grateful for sir?
be GRRRateful!
Insert obligatory empty chair joke here.
(and I agree with you and Clint)
Talk about your favorite band.

Well... maybe ole Mick is as smart as we (some of us) give him credit for... if/when groups attract the teenage girls (and their never ending flow of Mom and Dad's money) then they hit the jack pot... and The Stones probably wont do that by putting their faces on the cover.
Absolutely! You can bet that this was looked at from every possible angle. Pure marketing genius. A slick way to win over a whole new generation to the Mighty Stones. My 11 year old niece wants one too!
Not to mention the subliminal aspect of the King Kong like gorilla. King Kong rules the jungle. The Stones rule the jungle of rock 'n roll. Brilliant!

HopeYouGuessMyName
I am alway looking forward to new songs. So here is the question. Will Universal (and/ or the Stones) be greedy and NOT allow the two songs to be purchased individually on iTunes or will they be creeps and insist that we buy a 3 cd set to pick up two singles? I am aware that I have the freedom to not purchase anything, but I do want the new songs, because as a fan - I know that I will enjoy them!

@Highwire.uk - I agree with you about them working, but they are weird when it comes to that. The Stones barely function as a band. They get together for a 50 year anniversary, but haven't done anything for the last 5 (Watching the River Flow didn't even have all of them in the same room together). They are barely a band, and we love them.
I am happy that there will be two new songs, but man... Is that it? I sure hope not. This cover is just plain atrocious. The fact that we are all on here mocking it, and we're the base, is a big indicator about how the public will receive it. Is the Stones' music for CHILDREN? INFANTS? Or are we all fairly educated adults for the most part..?
If Mick wanted to piss off the baby boomers, he did it. If he wanted to look like a hack to us artistic types (me) he succeeded. The cover is absolute trash no matter how you look at it.
HOWEVER... If this cover were a brand new album, and was the greatest album they had ever produced, then the cover MIGHT be badass enough to pull it off. Another repackaging of the hits just wont do it for any of us.
This wont sell.

It'd be a nice idea if they released the two new songs on 7" for those of us who don't want another compilation, but I imagine it'll just be part of the super deluxe edition or whatever (the 7" that is).
Although knowing this band, they'd probably release two of them - one new song backed with "Angie", another with "Miss You", ha ha!
The cover's not bad in a rock 'n' roll way, but something like Made In The Shade still has that dirty vibe, as well as being a good piece of art. This doesn't quite have that, but it is quite contemporary in its style for 2012 though.

Only two days and already 20 pages full of reactions on THE news ... Yes, they did it again! Good or bad ... the world knows we're still around.
Even on the "teletekst" it was announced that the Stones were going to release a "greatest hits" album. I can't recall this to have ever happened before ... it's only a(nother) "greatest hits" collection for goodness sake.
Love your Stones for what they are: UNIQUE and a precious gift to the real fan!
Yeah the blimp ride, press conference televised worldwide by satellite and simultaneous announcement of Forty Licks got NO media coverage at all!
Sorry Gazza, I meant the "teletekst" announcement. The Forty Licks "greatest hits" was not the reason to use the blimp. It was (I was there) to announce a new world tour and the Forty Licks release just profited from it. No one was impressed by that "greatest hits" double album either.
The Licks tour was great, to say the least, and the 2005 A Bigger Bang album is a joy to listen to.
You know, just as well as I do, that there is more to come out of Alladin's lamp.
With respect,georgie, your memory is slightly off.

Ok, let me start with the disclaimer. I am a huge Stones fan (why else would I be on this site), I own all of their official releases, many of their unofficial releases, I have seen them numerous times, and I play guitar in a band that covers Rolling Stones songs (and others).
If GRRR! is a joke I will laugh my ass off, unfortunately I highly doubt that it is. What it is is another lame attempt by a once great band to wrest $ from my wallet. Let's count them off:
Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass) - 1966
Big Hits Vol. II (Through The Past Darkly) - 1969
Hot Rocks - 1972
More Hot Rocks -1972
Made In The Shade - 1975
Rewind - 1984
Jump Back - 1993
40 Licks - 2002
I know they're "the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world", but 8 greatest hits albums (granted both Hot Rocks were released by ABKCO after the split), soon to be 9 if this is real? What about cracking open the vaults on all the unreleased material? If you're going to f*#k me at least kiss me!
You missed another one :
Sucking in the Seventies - 1981
..and 'time waits for no one'..

Really poor cover, and unless the title is an acronym or has some hidden meaning, it's pretty bad. I wonder if the 2 'new' songs that are described as being finished in Paris were actually started in 1978?
