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 ++?

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.

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.

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

The versions of Stray Cat Blues... sufficiently different from the studio versions*
Probably, if I would listen to Roundhouse or Leeds thousands of time, the same might happen.**
...which reminds me a bit of "Sweet Home Alabama", which is for me too middle-of-the-road rock.***

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

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.

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.
I guess you are right as same as other platinum Shm releases.Quote

Toru, are these two reissues limited to Japan ?
