Back to the music.
Mick Jagger is not mentionned playing guitar on the twelve songs, Yet he is seen playing guitar on different photos (artprint, book, digipack ...). Has anybody spotted his guitar in the music, have his guitar tracks been removed ? Or are the photos not from the sessions for Blue & Lonesome ?
I can't read all 83 pages on Blue & Lonesome, so pardon me if this question has been discussed before.

We're still going a bit back and forth about whether there is an acoustic guitar (center-left) on Commit A Crime - or if it's percussion that we're hearing.

Sounds like an acoustic to me.

Like it matters. They have 3000 albums, they haven't done one in 11 years and since Wyman quit they've done THREE albums.
Who gives a shit? ENJOY IT.
I count as four albums since Wyman left. Missing fourth: (1) Highwire, (2) Sex Drive, (3) Like A Rolling Stone, (4) Don't Stop (5) Keys to Your Love (6) Stealing My Heart, (7) Losing My Touch (8) Plundered My Soul, (9) Doom & Gloom (10) One More Shot

Isn't this uncalled for blues cover album really a case of procrastination? And an indication of the fact that the prospect of a fresh, new album is pretty slim by now?
Well, if it is, so what!

Everytime I think that, I start wonder whether it is Charlie or Jim Keltner doing something It's only there in bits, and strategically placed, too.
It might very well be an acoustic (with which nobody is credited, though).

Hairball -> Thanks so much for the detailed instructions/summary of your purchase experience with the three for one offer. After deciding that I really didn’t need the deluxe edition and buying the standard edition at a local store on Friday when it was released, I became more and more interested in the offer after reading all of the posts here. I just followed your instructions and now can confirm that there will be three deluxe packages headed my direction in the near future.
AMERICANS (USA) I live outside Knoxville, TN and CAN CONFIRM that Hiarball’s instructions on PAGE 82 of this thread DO INDEED WORK for delivery in the USA. At least they did for me and I hope that they will for you if you try.
From my Order Details page:
3 of Blue & Lonesome
The Rolling Stones
Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.
£29.16
Condition: New
Order Summary
Item(s) Subtotal: GBP 87.48
Postage & Packing: GBP 5.06
Total Before VAT: GBP 25.06
VAT: GBP 0.00
Total:
Promotion Applied: -GBP 67.48
Grand Total: GBP 25.06
Payment Grand Total: USD 32.96
Arriving 29 Dec 2016 - 5 Jan 2017.
GasLightStreet -> Windows Media Player was/is the same for me regarding not recognizing the album. Interesting to me though: The copy disc I burned using Media Player WAS recognized by my blue-ray/surround system with full artwork when I played the burned disc in there. Also, my google play account, which links to my computer’s music folder successfully identified the album as well. I guess 2 out of 3 ain’t bad, right?
Again, Thanks Hairball for the instructions! You’ve allowed this American to spend a bit of money he didn’t necessarily intend to… AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!
Peace,
Mr DJA

Since I did the LP cover myself and typed in the songs etc I'm waiting to see if it transfers like that to Google Music Player so I can listen to it elsewhere via my phone.
That's one way around iTunes - GOOGLE!

Despite the content of the review (they gave it a decent 6,9/100 though) the very fact that a Rolling Stones new record made the pages of snobbish Pitchfork is a sign they made some wide noise with B&L.
About the content: scrapping off the snob shit it tells some truths (if unpleasant) about the band looked at from a critical distance.

From one American (in California) to another American (in Tennessee) - you're welcome Mr DJA!
There must have been some very minor fluctuation in the exchange rate between the time we placed our orders, as I paid 21 more cents than you!
(Order Total: GBP 25.06)
Payment Total: USD 33.17
I've already received (two) email notifications that my order "has been dispatched"...for some reason they're sending two separate packages - first one containing one deluxe, the second one containing the other two.
Leave it to the Brits to complicate things more than they need to be (trust me I should know - my wife is originally from England and it can get very complicated )!

Thanks maumau.
"they don’t really give a shit about being a contemporary concern anymore, so they’re just going to do something that feels good".
Keith deserves some credit for steering the band in this direction with the 'don't give a shit' attitude as heard on Crosseyed Heart.
"But for the most part, Blue & Lonesome doesn’t aspire to be anything more than a good-time frolic among old pals (Eric Clapton cameos included),
with the interchangeable, upbeat takes on Buddy Johnson’s “Just Your Fool” and Eddie Taylor’s “Ride ‘Em on Down”
more conducive to knee-tapping in a seated supper club than tearing the roof off a juke joint".
That just about sums it up for me, but glad to have a new Stones album where there's nothing cringeworthy!

"Best first week EVER". This is amazing. Do you or your contacts have any theories as to why it so popular, georgelicks?

... okay, so for the most part people seem pleased, it would be awesome, as far as I'm concerned, if they also did reggae & country covers albums - plus keith would surely sing at least a song or two on each.

Only if Mick agreed to do the country album without attempting to affect a "psudo-country/southern accent".
The reggae album I'm not really all that sure about.
Two others that I'd like to hear:
1) A soul/r&b covers album
2) A rock & roll covers album
both with new covers as opposed to new version of the soul/r&b/r&r songs they've already covered.

Opinions differ greatly on the likelihood of another studio album.
As you say, sweet neo con, the band were in the studio with another purpose in mind, but whether there is / will be enough to form another album remains unknown.
I'm treating Blue & Lonesome as a coda, but will be happy to be proved wrong.

for the next lbum I hope they just mantain the "i dont give a shit" attitude that led them to put out a great record as b&l
no need more blues covers just keep that attitude whater is the material
