On my 3rd spin... 1st time on vinyl after unwinding from the workday. This record is is magic... nothing but but down and dirty, raw, heartfelt versions of the songs they love. Deep, deep groves, lots of feeling, great harmonica and vocals from Mick, and the band is on fire. It's certainly not perfect, but that's what makes it great... haunting at times (Little Rain). This is one for the ages. Full circle.

Has anybody seen a jewel case version? There is one listed at Saturn.de but they didn't have one at my local store. They had some vinyl but it was already sold out when I went there

Blue and Lonesome is a late in the game home run that many/most people did not think this band was capable of anymore. It proves the critics wrong in a big way and returns the Stones to the status of The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World... This album just feels so authentic. For lack of a better term, it's just so Stonsey in the best possible way.
This album is full of swagger that has at times been missing from recent releases...It doesn't try and compete with the current trends of pop culture (been there/done that) and instead is a mature, yet still vital piece of music from true musicians and not the here today gone tomorrow pop stars of today. Quite frankly it's an album that the Stones should have started making 20+ years ago...Let's hope they can keep the loose/confident feel of this album going for the studio album of originals that is coming next.
After hearing this album today, I'm thrilled to say that it's almost 2017 and the Rolling Stones are alive and well!!!

I really like most of the songs on the CD, particulary the uptempo numbers. The slow ones are - for me - hard to take, but nevertheless they are performed very well by the group, it´s just not my kind of musical taste. The production is great and raw, they must have had a ball recording this stuff.
And I think it is a little bit unfair to bash people who dislike the new CD, because you really don´t have to be a fan of old school blues music to be a "real" Stones fan! This discussion is childish. I know there are many blues people around, blues is the origin not just of the Stones, but of rock music in general ... but "nobody" is listening to this kind of music nowadays.

Was für eine beschissene Plattenkritik. Ich weiss schon warum ich dieses Magazin seit Jahren nicht mehr kaufe.

Regarding the download card in the Double vinyl:
redeem.thesoundofvinyl.com
How does that work? Do I have to be member of "social media" (which I´m not)?

I just received my CD today. Overall - hats off, great music. If you dont like this you dont like the blues ...
Only issue for me is the distortion applied on Micks voice on all or vast majority of tracks. If it were applied on some it works OK but some tracks suffer from the distortion. Also loudness war continues.
Aside from mastering issues, this is inevitable record for every real Stones' fan and it can even bring new ones to the table
