Your favorite Stones related release of the year
Posted by: kowalski ()
Date: December 1, 2015 10:00

I assume there won't be any other Stones releases this year (hope to be proven wrong though) but it was a great year for Stones fans.

My favorite release of the year was the Marquee Club on double LP + DVD : great concert, great sound and cool video to watch (and right price!).
I guess my second favorite would be Sticky Fingers Live 2015 but as it appears it won't be released properly (ie on CD/LP) this year and the download sounds so thin that I can only guess at how great this live album is actually...


Here's a list of the Stones related releases in 2015 :

- Sticky Fingers Deluxe (with alternate takes & 5 live tracks from the Roundhouse show)

- Sticky Fingers Super Deluxe (with a 3rd CD containing the Leeds show from 1971)

- Marquee Club CD/DVD/LP (From the Vaults series)

- Marquee Club CD & DVD with Brussels Affair 1973 concert on 2 CD's (released only in Japan)

- Sticky Fingers Live 2015 (iTunes download only)

- Bill Wyman - Back to Basics album

- Keith Richards - Crosseyed Heart album

- Stones in The Park reissue on DVD (with enhanced stereo sound) (From the Vaults series)

- Live At The Tokyo Dome DVD/CD/LP (From the Vaults series)

- Live in Leeds 1982 DVD/CD/LP (From the Vaults series)

- Steel Wheels & Flashpoint new 2015 remasters (released on SHM-CD in Japan only)

How could it be anything but the Sticky Fingers deluxe edition? Absolutely magnificent and the Stones playing like their lives depended on it.

As far as me there has been only one worth to mention. Crosseyed Heart of course.
Sticky Fingers I already knew and like. I don't see the point of re-releases.

Did you know the Roundhouse show, the alternate takes and the full Leeds show in stereo + the single and the book ++? winking smiley

No. And maybe I'm missing a lot...
But since I haven't listened to them, I can't call them my favourites either. And really, post 80's live albums don't interest me much. With GYYO and the Brussels bootleg I'm happy. There's only so much live-albums I can really get into. Weird maybe, but in general I don't see much point in live-albums (with the exception of GYYO and maybe Still Life). It never catches the experience of being there and it hardly ever is as good as on the studio album either.

Well, matxil, you missed this. I'd reconsider if I were you..

All mentioned releases are stunning and great, with the exception of Tokyo 90, too many Steel Wheels songs on it. Exclude them and its quite enjoyable. The DVD of Tokyo is not my cup of tea, Mick´s hairdo and the horrible costumes they wore... almost funny, but very strange...

My favorite release is Sticky Fingers incl. Roundhouse and Leeds gig. Fantastic.

Crosseyed Heart had a lot of attention of course - wonder how it will be rated a decade from now. A solid album but no masterpiece, imo. The Stones´ last classic album DW is better, ABB is better and the best songs from B2B and VL are better than Crosseyed Heart.

Thank you smileys with beer I won't deny I enjoyed that. Probably if I would hear it like that really live (i.e. being present at the concert) I'd have enjoyed it very much.
But I still wouldn't buy the album for the simple reason that I know I wouldn't listen to it much (or at all) at home.
I am so used to GYYO, that I actually listen to it as if it was a studio-album. The versions of Stray Cat Blues, LiV, Sympathy and Midnight Rambler, for instance, are sufficiently different from the studio versions to listen them without comparing them to the originals. As another poster said in the GYYO thread, GYYO is "in my blood" (or something like that).
Probably, if I would listen to Roundhouse or Leeds thousands of time, the same might happen. I suppose if it really would be outstandingly better than the GYYO version I'd take that effort, but - from the biased comfort of what I am already used to - I'm not even sure I prefer this version. I think I like Taylor's guitar better on GYYO, also I like the slowness of it on GYYO (if I want it faster, I can listen to Beggars Banquet). Like Little Queenie, I think the slowness sort of contributes to the sexual innuendos of the lyrics. There's something about this Roundhouse version, in the rhythm, which reminds me a bit of "Sweet Home Alabama", which is for me too middle-of-the-road rock.
Still, I enjoyed listening to it right now.

*Oh yes, that version of Stray Cat Blues is different - the girl is even younger than on the studio version...

**...You dont have to listen to Leeds and Roundhouse a thousand times, a dozen times would do to start the same thing happening as with GYYO, believe me.

***..."Sweet Home Alabama" is one of the greatest all-time-classics ever!

Interesting comments by maxtil. I would agree on several counts but I'm always eager to hear more. Btw, I almost forgot about the Roundhouse tracks, unbelievable as I've waited many years for this. In my opinion this demonstrates it's almost too late to release rarities we've been waiting for. Still, I'm sure to buy most anything that comes out. Unless it's a total rip-off. Onto my favorite this year- SF Deluxe Box for the extras and book. Though as many have already pointed out (in past threads) the DVD was a waste of space. I know it was meant as a teaser, but that's only good for a short time. Almost better they didn't include it. My two cents.

Yes, I know it's a classic, but I still think it's awful. The same goes for "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Yellow Submarine", "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and a long list of other "classics" which I cannot stand.
"Sweet Home Alabama" is the perfect example of middle-of-the-road cowboy rock: no soul, no groove, just stamping your boots. When I hear it, I see people with the wrong kind of jeans, with "Barcelone Hard-rock Café" t-shirts and 80's bandanas line-dancing.

To me the SF reissue was a bit disappointing : only 5 "alternate" tracks, no outtake and 5 live songs. The Leeds concert is a nice addition but the price was way too high anyway so I skept it.

The new releases 2015, the order they came, because
the entire year of '15 Rolling Stones experience for me
has been a complete blast!
Sticky Deluxe release- the alternative version Can't You Hear Me Knocking
those fat, raw licks-- perfecto. Tunes helped train for Zipcode San Diego ;-)
Sticky Fonda live release- *****
Crosseyed Heart *****
I am missing some DVD's from the vault releases this year tho,
I certainly intend and want them, and hope they are still there when I'm ready.

Same here I just couldn't justify that buy. Actually I didn't buy any version of the SF reissue, the studio outtakes alone wasn't worth it.

Out of the releases I did buy:

1. Live In Leeds 1982 - 9/10
2. Live At The Tokyo Dome - 8/10 - Great improvement over the existing bootleg. BUT the 2 cd's should have been from a different night as with LA Friday.
3. Back To Basics - 8/10 - Very cool laid-back record, great songwriting.
4. Crosseyed Heart - 7/10 - Haven't really given it a chance but a few songs were ok I guess.
5. Live at the Marquee - 5/10 - So few songs! Very lifeless performance which sounds kind of out of tune. Dry sounding recording as well. I've watched it once since it came out, not sure when I'll I give it another try.

After listening to more Sticky Super Deluxe release this morning
(new to me 2015/ never heard bootlegs of it before)
Can I just say, can I get a witness
Honky Tonk Women played live 1971
(my God both Roundhouse and Leeds)
is an entirely different song!
These recordings have made the studio track completely obsolete to me now.
And that Leeds Satisfaction? Sweet. Jim Price, the horns, remarkable in somewhat simple yet song stealing performance.
Yes, it's been a good year.
Astounding, really.

We've certainly been spoilt but surely it's gotta be Crosseyed Heart, far better than many expected with a real timeless quality.
When it's finally all over I'm sure this will be viewed as a standout.

In no order: Sticky Fingers super deluxe, Marquee / Brussels, and Cross Eyed Heart.

Dandy you're always up for a discussion if it doesn't quite match your exact sentiments. I also go with Crosseyed Heart because it is new material and happily exceeded my expectations!! I'm still going thru Leeds '82 and it could be my #2, especially after hearing Angie.

If you get the chance, give a try to the Marquee on vinyl. Very different experience (from the CD or DVD).

Don't forget Steel Wheels and Flashpoint.
I received them today with a bonus poster.

For the first time I bought Steel Wheels before I go to Cincinnati for the Stones show.
I remember I dubbed it to the cassete tape for Sony Walkman and was listening it again and again in 14 hours flight all the way from Tokyo to Cincinnati.
The sound has been improved considerably and become wonderful.
DSD mastering rules!

Sticky Fingers Super Deluxe by a Moonlight Mile!

And matxil I agree with you about Bohemian Rhapsody, Yellow Submarine, and The Lion Sleeps Tonight but I think you missed the boat with Sweet Home Alabama. Those guitars are grooving. That is a well put together tune, tasty leads, great lyrics, classic intro.
