The album cover is odd, but ''Just Your Fool'' is great and I'm so excited for this album. Who gives a crap about the cover anyway? They really can't go wrong with all these great songs. Commit A Crime with Mick Jagger in the White House was fabulous and maybe it will be even better with the Stones.

As there were no overdubs, it would have been nice if they had filmed all the sessions and then included a bonus dvd with the deluxe edition. 40 minutes footage of the Stones playing old blues in a studio would be a delight to see.

Read above.

Not a lot of them I presume, the guitars appears to be untouched, why else leave in Keith's early switch to D?

I'm already bored with Just You're Fool..

Then try Just Your Fool...much better.

Completists already have alternate versions to hunt down - with and without apostrophes!

Probably "Just You're Fool" is the early take with Keith on vocals...

(They keep it in the vaults for the 'Mega Deluxe Remastered Anniversary Edition' box, as bonus track for the Japanese limited edition 'Vinyl + Blu-Ray only', including T-shirt, baseball cap & "Blue & Lonesome" cucumber sandwich.)

The VL-cover is one of their most impressive/best covers ever. I actually love it more than most of the music I find on the album.

Never cared much for the B2B-cover however.

The Blues-album-cover is great. Simple, minimalistic and it tells everything there is to know. It´s the Stones playing the Blues. How many cover show the band-members standing or sitting around? Too many and it´s always the same. I am glad they did not had the idea of using a sepia colored picture reminding of the 30s - so many have already done this "authentic"-shit.

Matt is very close to Mick, professionally and socially. Apart from Dave Stewart, he's Mick's other closest collaborator. Since STEEL WHEELS/URBAN JUNGLE, he's worked with Mick on "Angel in My Heart," "Streets of Berlin," all of GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY where he not only played keyboards, but co-wrote, arranged, and co-produced a number of tracks. Matt brought Steve Knightley and Mick Dolan to GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY as he brought Phil Beer to STEEL WHEELS, pulling from his background in folk/prog circles. He produced the demos for Mick's three songs for FORTY LICKS and two of the singles for A BIGGER BANG. He assisted in selecting and prepping tracks to recut for EXILE and SOME GIRLS.

Yes-man? I don't think that's an accurate depiction of their relationship. Mind you, I don't believe Don Was is as much of a yes-man as fans want to believe either. Our harsh criticism of Mick and Keith is very often misdirected at those who surround them. They would be great again if Don/Chuck/Matt were gone.

You got that damn straight.

The best sounding tracks on BRIDGES? Rob Fraboni produced them.

The worst part of the STEEL WHEELS/URBAN JUNGLE tour? That cheesy Clifford interlude between 2000 Light Years and SFTD.

Plink? Eh, it would be great if they could find someone similar to Nicky Hopkins' or Ian McLagan's style, which would help the Stones sound like The Stones again.

That partially explains why the SOME GIRLS extras album is so weak.

Some of the things Plink talked about in his blog are quite revealing about him. This one, The band had gone to London to “mess around” and see if there could be any material to come out of it. I had not been invited, which had hurt my feelings...especially knowing that Matt Clifford was there. says a lot.

His feelings were hurt?

It's hard being an adult.


Then there's this bit, which is just pitiful: But from what I could hear of him, most of the parts he played sounded benign to me for the most part. This is a delicate thing...I like Matt, and part of me is glad he was there....but I know if I had been there it would have come out more authentic.

If Plink had played on it it "would have come out more authentic". So... it wouldn't have been authentic anyway. That's already been established. Even by Ronnie.

But more authentic? I'm not a fan of Matt Clifford but certainly he can plink just as good as Plink can.

I'm fine with Chuck's comments.
He wanted to be there, thought he could have added something. Nothing wrong with him having confidence in himself.
But the Glimmers have always kept their session men at arm's length and not really communicated what their intentions are.

Sounds like sour grapes coming from Chuck.
He's now seemingly on a power trip from his live 'director' role in the Stones, and stepping over boundaries dragging down names in the process.
I always thought he was a nice and quiet guy, but evidently he's like a loose cannon ready to fire when things don't go his way.
He needs to zip it, and graciously accept his role as it is which is already more than necessary.

The SG-Bonus-CD is surprisingly good. Some very good songs indeed. Maybe you meant the Exile-Bonus-CD is weak? That disc indeed is only filled with what they found at the bottom of the barrel.

He seems a bit of a tool.

I remember thinking that a few year's ago when he recounted how on tour he bought a coffee maker for his hotel room (don't most hotels already have coffee makers in the room?) so that he could save money rather than buy coffee from the coffee shop.

Even if he was that cheap, why feel the need to go public with it?
