15 pages about GHS? I don't know if we overrate the album here.

I don't think so. You cannot overrate an album from the Taylor era.

Goat's is a better album thank Sticky. There. I said it.
7."I Got the Blues" - bad. Pointless genre territory pissing.

Must be the mood of the songs + that large parts of the songs are «minor»-songs:
100 Years Ago before the break
Coming Down Again
The verses on Heartbreaker
Angie
The bridges on Can You Hear The Music
Winter
Even Hide Your Love has a sadness to it
We're left with Dancing With Mr. D, Silver Train and Star Star.

Fingers has even more minor / sad songs (sway, horses, 1/2 knocking, move, blues, morphine and Mile) and the lyrics are overall sadder!

Listening to that record, you get the impression the band is tired.
It was the last Jimmy Miller produced album, so the recording is great. Nobody captured Watts' drums as well as Jimmy Miller.
Jagger should've devoted more time to the lyrics of the songs. A song like "Winter" is a great tune, but the lyrics fall flat. Same goes for "Silver Train." And "Dancing with Mr D". And "Star Star."

As there are several 1968/1969-songs on SF and Exile
Can you (or someone else) be more precise please? Which songs are we talking about?
Does it mean they recorded or re-recorded songs written in 1968/69 during SF and EXILE-sessions? Or did they use indeed already-in-the-can-material from the 1968/69-period for SF/EXILE?
Revisiting leftovers and re-recording them isn´t a crime, but using finished takes from the past on a new release, well that´s very different. It would shed a new light on SF/EXILE artistically.
For real true Stones fans it makes no difference. Clearly you are not one.
So true fans are not allowed to ask when a released song was written, recorded or re-recorded? Of course it makes a difference. There are fans who want to know when a song that ends up on a new album was recorded. If they release a new album in 2017 and the greatest and most outstanding song would be a song already recorded in 2002, then it matters artistically. If you don´t know the facts, you might think this outstanding gem is all new and they are still great songwriters. But that wouldn´t be true. Everybody except you should easily understand why it is important to know when a song was written/recorded.

That means that Sticky Fingers and Exile aren't real albums...
And LET IT BLEED and EMOTIONAL RESCUE and IT'S ONLY ROCK'N'ROLL and UNDERCOVER.
You know, U is not a real album because it has a song from 1975 on it.
Which song is it? Did they use the recording from 1975 or was it re-recorded?
Re-recording an unreleased song is tolerable, using old recordings for a new album isn´t.
If the re-record Honest Man for their new album, it´s ok.
If they use the vocal and/or instrumental track from back then, it´s cheating on us.
With your terms, irrelevant. Just like your opinion.
Oh yes it´s irrelevant if they are cheating on us. It must be, because true fans have to eat everything without asking where it comes from. Come on you can´t be serious. You really want to tell us that you wouldn´t care at all if they would release the 1994-vocals of Honest Man on a new album instead of recording a new vocal track? Ridiculous, you disagree just for the sake of disagreeing.

Just made a playlist of a longer GHS with...
Criss Cross Mind
Tops
Through The Lonely Nights
Waiting On A Friend
... and it's even more killer.
The other way round - making it an EP of four or five songs - would be a more satisfying thing to do, imo.
Goes like this:
01 Heartbreaker
02 Silver Train
03 Hide Your Love
04 Star Star
05 100 Years Ago
Accompanying single-release:
01 Angie
02 Can You Hear The Music
Nope.
Yup.
The EP and the single would have been more satisfiying artistically and nobody would have considered it as a "let-down" after EXILE.

Brown Sugar 1969 (recorded 1969)
You Gotta Move 1969 (recorded 1969)

Thanks for providing these interesting facts that are new to me.

"Angie" - great ballad. Yes it's sleazy and vulgar but Mick is great on it.

Absolutely. No disagreement here.
However, it's like everything is clearer or more evident on SF, while the overall vibe on GHS is more hazy and harder to grasp. Might be something with the actual recording of GHS as well.
