Let´s not be too rigorous.
I´ve always said using two years old songs is tolerable. Three years is already critical but maybe still tolerable.
Using a four years old song as a b-side of their latest single without telling the date of it´s recording is not tolerable. There has to be a note "xxx was recorded in 19xx".
But it´s totally unacceptable to use almost ten years old recordings to create a new album. Absolutely intolerable. The result would not represent the band at it´s actual state. Everybody should dig that.
and i will win a Grammy for my guitar noodling at home (it will look pretty cool sitting on my mantle with the other assorted Waterford knick knacks.)Quote

Being a Stones-fan is not duty - it´s pleasure (most of the time)
Next year I have 35th-Stones-fan-anniversary and they´re going to reward me with a new album, who could ask for anything more.

GasLight, that list doesn't make your point.
If the Stones recorded BS in 1969 and released it on their *next* album, (which was delayed by legal stuff) it hardly qualifies as dipping into the archives..
And some of the songs held over for ER were done so because they had so many good songs cuts for SG.
And other songs were started but not quite finished so they held them for the next album.
But by TY they didn't have enough new or recent stuff -- and they were not able to get into the studio to record -- so they went into the archives.
I wouldn't use the work 'fake', and clearly this is of interest only to serious Stones fans.

I will always say it was such a missed opportunity for us fans that we were denied a proper tour for this most awesome album which has only one clunker IMHO (Indian Girl) .We did get a few songs on the 81 tour but gosh darnit .

You know that you and DP are in the minority, yes? However, that does not devalue your opinion.
"Falling flat on the face" is a bit harsh, but it was a bit of a disappointing album imo, losing a bit of the tremendous steam they regained with Some Girls. The playing is great throughout, but the songs...not always.

The album still exists, and for some of us it has growed on us.
I don't regard it as weaker than Some Girls. I find the songs just as good, and the production and sound is superior, imo.
But we've talked about this before

Did we? Yeah...of course! And we weren't able to convince each other. But that's ok! I'm in a generous mood because today, we have lots of fun in the Some Girls Fan Club...great drinks & other (green) stuff, some (nice) girls around, lotsa fun - isn't it tempting? Why don't you come over and join us because you're obviously in need for some Emotional Rescue?

EMOTIONAL RESCUE is interesting considering what they chose to leave off, similar to SOME GIRLS, but also in how much they did post-SG sessions, of which a good bit was used for TATTOO YOU.
As far as the band recording:
All About You started in 1977 for SG.
Summer Romance was from the early 1978 SG sessions.
Where The Boys Go was from the summer 1978 post SG tour sessions.
Emotional Rescue, Think I'm Going Mad and She's So Cold from early 1979 sessions.
Mid 1979 are all the rest and the next time the band would record again was in late 1982.
Late 1979, overdubs, mixing and editing.
There's a ton of stuff leftover from the SG/ER sessions. Could ER have been better? Sure. But that's subjective, of course (SG could've been better too but it's easier to say ER could've been), just like VOODOO LOUNGE could've been a lot better based on hearing the leftovers.
For whatever reason, they ignore some really good ideas or outright songs and choose to go with the flavor of the month or, as we've witnessed, what was cool six months ago so let's do it now (BRIDGES). That's what happens when someone decides to follow a trend - it doesn't mean it will be good.
If you're a technology company that makes TVs, cell phones, various media, what the hell are you doing making washing machines, dryers and dish washers? That's what happened to the Stones starting with SOME GIRLS and oddly continues, although not completely, through A BIGGER BANG.
What's noted at [www.nzentgraf.de] may not be everything - and there's a lot there, and that is why it's easy to see that the 1977-1983 period could or can be considered their last gasp of inventive creativity and quality.
All of that aside, ER sounds incredible. It's one of their best sounding LPs.

I stand with the Emotional crowd turning it into a majority...right down to the horns in IG it shines throughout. The rumble of Keith’s Telecaster at the start of She’s So Cold surpasses even the fuzzy excitement of Satisfactions start off
