Maybe they can add an audio track to this release without Taylors guitar in the mix for more pleasant listening?
Yeah, call it a SENSITIVE WOODIST EDIT.
Or even better, they could add to any Rollng Stones product from 1969 to 1974 a warning: Be aware: this might contain guitar work that doesn't fit to the educated (post -75) Rolling Stones guitar fan boy taste, and it might be found annoying....

Somebody from the band is missing on this cover. Hmmmm. Anybody know if that one/fifth of the band was in the original photo?

No he wasn't, that's handy, eh?

He was standing way too far to the right ...

I see no reason that Brussel will not be released in the big markets Europe and USA. Question of time.

This looks great! Not to side track too much but what pickup was in Keef's DA? It didn't look like one of the stock ones.
Isn't is just the stock, slide-in humbucker?

Than my biggest gripe: somebody should have slapped Mick Taylor in the face: stop that bloody, useless and pointless noodling!!! It's goddamn awful! Take Dead Flowers: how many times can you play that same pentatonic lick with those dreadful hammer-ons over and over? The double stop country bend is great, but not 34 times in the same song!

Couldn't agree more
I usually like the guitar work of taylor, particularly on Exile and Sticky, but on that Dead Flowers Version it's really just pointless noddling without
much excitement, and it doesn't match very well to Jaggers singing.

Really like his melodic guitar playing on DF

I just watched the video again and it is not the standard pickup. Modified perhaps? Go to 1:39 and it shows a white pickup. OK is this a trick of the light (doesn't look that way) or a modded pickup or something else? It also looks like it has pole pieces instead of the standard line of the da rock pickup.

This. I'm not paying the big bucks to Japan, sorry.
Right. But there is always a hope that they will give the same box to the ROW. And it will be a bit different in terms of price than those Japanese editions.Quote

It looks like those japanese editions (with Brussels) are very limitid. Two days ago I ordered this:
[www.cdjapan.co.jp] (Marquee-DVD, CD Marquee und 2 CDs Brussels)
and today it says "out of print". So, if you see other editions with Brussels, hurry up! They might sell out very fast ...

To nuance this a bit, Taylor plays brilliantly, of course, but it is too much for me - for a song like this anyway

With the new stereo mix, one can turn the volume of the left speaker down a bit, and
focus on the lovely harmony vocals by Keith and Bill's great bass playing, that make
this song really enjoyable.

From 1970 on he used two Dan Armstrongs -one with the white prototype humbucker, and one with the RT pickup.

Regarding the "too much noodling" vs "really like his melodic playing.." debate, I have to say agree with both. It really is over-noodling on MT's part, but that said, I like it in this version. I like the over-noodling! And I am not a fan of endless Grateful Dead/ Phish noodlefests... I just love the sound of MT's guitar, and I love how different it makes the '71 live versions, and I love his over-noodling on all the '72/ '73 live stuff too. I enjoy the Stones playing out-of-tune, over-noodling, too fast/ too slow live performances from '69 to '75. I always have. Laziness is part of the Stones live sound, and I like it. Or at least I like how it manifested itself back in the early 70's.

Agreed. This is exactly my take on my favorite era of my favorite band.
