I can't think of anything much more boring than a live tracks compilation post Wyman.

Looks like it might finally be the official release of The BBC Sessions. There's another thread on it and it's starting to get some attention. Like the From the Vaults issue of "The Stones in the Park" it carries the otherwise anachronistic lapping tongue logo so this an officially sanctioned release from Universal, Promotone, ABKCO, and the BBC. If this is correct, as pointed out on the thread itself, this is what was leaked by the Sympathy For the Devils group back in April. It might also be remembered they were saying the new album was on the backburner.

Yeah, I remember Jody Klein telling ICE in 1996 when ROCK 'N' ROLL CIRCUS showed up that THE BBC SESSIONS were next. Well, what's two decades to the Stones?

But now the music is already released on an independent label, so if they the complete tapes, this could be the moment (together with the book and the dvd).
A lot of stuff is rather well recorded, though. Check it out on Spotify if you don't have already.

I thought they sounded good, but they probably have just tweaked it a little in the mastering process.

Okay, what happened to the title of this thread? I guess the question of whether there'll be a new album in 2017 has been answered -- No! It'll be next year.
But, really, who cares?
What the real question everyone wants answered is, will they do a UK tour in 2018 and then call it quits?
You know, Charlie Watts kind of leaked that in 2012. He was talking in interviews how it would be a great thing to finish it all up in London -- but little did we know then that they had plans to tour from 2012 to 2018, and then lately there's all this talk about a UK tour and finishing up in London.
Well, I say, let 'em!
I saw them in 2013 in my town, Boston -- with Mick Taylor and Bobby Keys on board!
And the more time that goes by, the more I realize that they'll never have the time nor desire -- nor Charlie, bless 'im -- to tour that far and wide again.
So let 'em wrap it up -- the sooner, the better.
Know why? Because who wants a sequel to Goddess in the Doorway?
I want them to start working with ABKCO and deliver the albums I really want, and that if you'll all be honest, too -- expanded deluxe issues of 12X5, Now!, Aftermath, etc.,...
Is everyone really waiting on the edge of their seats for a sequel to Bridges To Babylon and before that a duets live album? What will it prove?
We're here because of what they've done, not because what they hope they may do...
There, I've said it. Also, I want a remastered version of their 1960s BBC sessions, not a live comp intended to prove their relevant by today's stars duetting with them. Imagine if they'd put out such an album in the eighties -- that would have meant a live album with Bon Jovi, Madonna, Janet and Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Whitney Houston, Paula Abdul -- can you imagine either of the latter two duetting on Gimme Shelter?
Any duets live album they may release is something you'll be ashamed to admit to having owned 10 or 15 years from now, when your children are laughing at you -- not at the Rolling Stones, but at the pathetic parade of 2010s singing stars who by then will have become so camp and cliched.
Is it morning yet? Well, I guess it is. It was still dark out when I started typing this. But, be forewarned.
More concerts, sure, for as long as they can. Do we need new songs? How about instead paying homage to those early albums instead? Deluxe, remastered, expanded editions... of what history has known them for, what we know them for, and what the world of tomorrow will know them for.
Thank you. Or, maybe, &$#@ you. You decide.

I just returned from Ringo's Birthday at Capitol Records. Don Was was there, so of course I ignored Ringo to talk to him like any good Stones guy would. I asked him how the album was. "It sounds great, but it's not finished, you should hear it". My response was to hand him my card and ask him to invite me over for a listen. I'm gonna see if I can make this happen.

Tried finding a BBC thread here, but looked elsewhere and found a five or six page thread on the Steve Hoffman Forum from last year which I briefly skimmed through,
