I almost agree regarding too many songs on albums in the digital era…cut Voodoo to 10 and a good album becomes great, same with babylon

A far cry from his statements that the Stones have so much unreleased stuff in the can they could put out a good new record every year for the next 40 years.

That's from the sessions 7 and 8 years later.

That's when they produced the most tracks, undoubtedly.
They have material for a GHS Deluxe surely, and I'm not sure if it's correct that SF tracks were used for TY. Which ones?

this certainly elevated my opinion of don was.
he knew exactly what he was doing and mick and keith didnt listen to him.if they had gone with the 36 minute versions that he gave them we wouldnt have the meandering, watered down records we ended up with.
someone mentioned that when we make our own playlists of bigger bang,voodoo lounge or whatever someone always leaves out songs someone else likes-thats not the point.

It would have seemed a bit short to have 36 minute records in the digital age. People might have been complaining about what a rip off for only 36 minutes of music. Just wait till you have a records worth of great songs to put out if that's what it takes...a better approach, imo.
I could make a single playlist from Voodoo Lounge, Bridges to Babylon and A Bigger Bang that would be considered a great Stones record.
Don Was's statement of making a 36 minute version of Stones records seems enlightening, might be a reason some older 36 minute records are such classics, but obviously that kind of approach would work for anybody, there is usually going to be 36 minutes of stronger material on most 72 minute records.

Sure, why not! 30th anniversary of DW is coming up. Let that sink in a moment.

Thanks for sharing, as always. As usual with Don Was not much of interest/lack of depth...
- "The thing that will make this one different is the alternate takes, like “Brown Sugar” with Eric Clapton and the acoustic “Wild Horses.”"
yeah, a version with no guitar fills makes a big difference, not.
- "There just wasn’t enough stuff that no one had heard before."
well BS with EC has been heard by anyone who's bothered to look. What about "Travelling Man", "Who Am I", "Candlewick Dedspread", 'Rock It", "As Now" ? The last 3, if they exist (the source is Kanbach I believe who had access to the studio notes), certainly haven't been heard by many people. I think the real answer is "Mick didn't want to release unfinished takes and these days he's got better things to do than write and record new vocals"
- "I think they’ll play until they drop, but I don’t know if they’ll make records anymore.
Looks like he didn't get the marketing memo that Mick and Keith were reading from recently, certainly puts to bed (as if it was needed...) any rumours of the imminent release of a "Back to Roots" album.

What sessions were Travellin' Man, Blood Red Wine, and Highway Child from? There are still some great unreleased tunes from this general period.
