Sucking in the Seventies will be their next deluxe release.

Given what we know exists on bootleg i can see no reason why there shouldn't/couldn't be a set like The Beatles 3 Anthology sets so 6 cds or so covering the earliest home recordings/tapes up to Let It Bleed. Relations with ABKCO seem much improved in recent years. I fail to understand why this hasn't been attempted already. There wouldn't even be any need to duplicate what has appeared on bootleg if they didn't want to. Jones-era box is what i want. Exile and Sticky have been done, can't say i have any interest in much post Exile super deluxe wise.. The lack of archival releases from the Decca/Jones era is the single most obvious not done project of any major act of the era. I mean blimey, The Beach Boys even managed to finally release Smile. Surely an ABKCO/Jones era set can't be that difficult. They could even pay Bill for his Radio Luxembourg acetate which i mention at every opportunity as it's my personal Stones holy grail.
Well they're never gonna outsell The Beatles but given the right marketing and (crucially with expensive ABKCO) the right price i'm sure they could do good business even in the download age. Critically it would depend somewhat on just how many of the multi tracks/one,2,3 tracks survive from the 60s.Quote

I've wondered about this too...I wonder if ABKCO's done the math, and it just isn't going to deliver the financial reward as it wouldn't sell nearly what those Beatles Anthologies sold?

There's probably only one other reissue that makes sense (to 'them' ie Mick) and that would be TATTOO YOU. Everything's been used for that album? No. Not technically, considering how the album was strictly unfinished tracks from the GHS to ER sessions minus IORR. Besides, it's not like they're concerned time/year wise with the accuracy of what goes on these extra discs - EXILE had stuff going back to 1967 and SOME GIRLS had stuff that was recorded after the 1978 tour for that album! And still ignored the best material that was left off from the SG sessions!
I can't see them doing any other albums. They've done their first two Atlantic Records albums and SOME GIRLS. TY would most likely be it.
