Surely the instruments/guitars were recorded on their own individual track and the nearly "mono" mix we're getting on some tracks is a production decision they made?

I'm 69 years old, and stones fan off 1963. I was 15 years old. Now with this album blue and lonely I'm 15 again hahaha. Great album, and swinging drums from Watts, and driving guitars plus fantastic harmonica and voice of Mick Jagger. Sorry for my bad english, my Dutch is already bad. The blues is back.

Not necessarily.
Older recording techniques from the 50s & 60s often involved just micing the room, rather than the individual instruments.
The best results are often achieved using a combination of the two approaches.
...and there's lot more to producing and mastering a good recording than deciding which instruments come out of which speaker

...Don´t need the harmonica in every song ...
Really? I love it! ... They've been harmonica 'lacking' more in the later year releases compared to the first couple albums. I always loved it when tracks like Black Limo or Love Is Strong came on, just for that!
It´s not like I don´t love it - I just don´t need it every song

Interviewer [Apple clip above]: "What does it mean to you to be looking back at this stage. (about the album. My notation)
Sir Michael: "I can't have enough of it really..."
There you have it. It's a defeat, really. At least in Sir Michael's mind.

No, he says "I've kind of had enough of it really".

Does the jap version have an extra track? Will it be released as sa-cd in japan?
No bonus track advertised ... Just a T in the Deluxe ...
SACD --- You would think so but hey at this stage who really knows ..

The Rolling Stones: 'We are theatre and reality at the same time'
The band’s best album in decades is an ‘accidental’ covers collection of songs by their early heroes. Backstage in Boston they talk about playing until they’re dead, Prince opening for them in his knickers and what Bob Dylan really thinks about his Nobel prize

Mick and I were watching Bob’s first set and it sounded good, the band was great, and I said, ‘Mick, notice – very little concession to showbusiness,’ and Mick went, ‘Yeahhh, right.’”

I should sound better on two discs.
Yes...42 minutes will fit easily on single disc but 2 discs will still allow better mastering with a greater dynamic range.
I hear you, yet I don't hear it
I don't hear it too ofen these days either.
It's nice to have the vinyl... but the "art" of mastering it needs to be recaptured.
With all the talk about how this album was recorded, I'm keen to hear how it's been mastered... and how it subsequently sounds on a half way decent record playing system.

Interesting. I don't recall seeing even one thing negative from anyone on this board who has heard the album. I am sure there will eventually be some dissenters, but so far it's unanimous love for this fine album!!
I still can't get enough of it, it just gets better with each listen. Just, wow!
Mind you, there will be. Complaints about few Keith-solos and Mick's mannered singing will soon shower over us
