What sort of legal dispute are there? Don't the Stones own it? They certainly still set the parameters for when it can be viewed in public. It's past ABKCO's time, so there's no problem there.

Ah, hate to be a party pooper, I have a vague memory of this film,
but, how do I put this,
it's a tad uncomfortable in this day and age seeing men taking advantage of groupies (women) who've been partying heavily? Right? I dunno...
Gimme Fonda please!

So either Mick wants to do it himself or he wants CS Blues to remain semi-clandestine forever.

Personnally I wonder where are the dozens of cans of 16mm film Frank shot during that summer of 1972. Did he hive them to the band when he delivered the final cut of CSB in 1975 or did he keep the unused footage?

I've noticed that while I used to be able to watch CSB on youtube all links are now "Eagle Rocked" & unavailable in my country (USA).

It's a horrible movie. There are a few interesting parts (jamming with Stevie Wonder etc) but overall I find it too dark & depressing. Don't really like watching Keith detiorate before my eyes.

Exactly, very much overrated. If it had been released back in the day no one would be talking about it now other than as an embarrassment for the Stones. Like Macca's Broadstreet ?

I'd rather have The Fonda Theatre 2015 or Paradiso 1995 released.
CocksuckerBlues should have been released together with Stones In Exile DVD and the Exile bonus CD in 2010 I agree with Cristiano Radtke.

You all fail to grasp it's a Robert Frank movie with his obsessions his (somewhat depressed) views on life, music, and America. It's NOT a generic promo-product like L&G, it's an auteur movie.
Go to a library, open a copy of Frank's "The Americans" and you'll get it. Jagger hired Frank after buying this book so he liked the man's views of the world.
And logically "Mick Jagger actually liked the film, but the band's management thought the public would be put off by it" (quote from the same Steidl interview).
