Maybe we'll have to wait for a deluxe-version?

Perhaps that's it. There was also some reports about a BBC documentary being exhibited, but there's no info about it so far.

They brought out the album and later issued it with extra tracks in the hope that people would buy it twice.

I don't think it's the publisher's fault the planned CD and DVD releases were delayed (if not outright scrapped - no word either way yet). I'm sure the publisher wanted the tie-in to happen. Cross-marketing sells more books after all, but if they alloted a marketing budget and promotion for the book, they either have to shelve everything until the others get their act together and hope they have enough of a budget in another fiscal year to allocate or they publish as planned without the tie-in. Evidently the latter happened. There's been no word from Eagle Rock or ABKCO or the BBC about a DVD and/or CD release. So we keep waiting.
Bought it when it was in the sales section...Quote

Thank you, Deltics and ironbelly for above posts re info on A Bigger Bang DVD.
I didn't buy it on principal. They should have given us the option, releasing the album and the special edition simultaneously.

I've bought the Kindle book which has turned out to be disappointing in terms of the research. Sure it's a nice looking book but the author has not checked the BBC documentation relating to the songs played on various BBC sessions thus repeating mistakes from Badman et al.
Extremely disappointing given that the author appears to have gone to the BBC Written Archive to look through the Stones Artist folder but didn't go to the room next door to check out the microfilms containing programme logs.
Details concerning the songs performed on the radio version of Top Beat 27 April 1964 are wrong, they played different sets from the TV version.Easily checked.
His attribution of Aint That Loving You Baby is wrong.
He makes no attempt to figure out where the "live" Roll Over Beethoven / Beautiful Delilah come from.
An old one but not addressed in this book either - on the 8th April 1964 Ready Steady Go Mod Ball how did they mime to playback of Hi Heel Sneakers and I'm Alright unless a session was held previously ?
Pop Inn Feb 18th 1964 - worth mentioning that while he lists Not Fade Away it was just the record that was played.
Teen Scene rec 22 Nov 1964 aired 27 Nov 1964 - the BBC file notes that it was due to be broadcast on the 22nd. Teen Scene was not broadcast on the 27th Nov.
No mention of the Nov 17th 1968 Top Gear preview of Beggars Banquet with possible Mick links.
The 1964 Radio Luxembourg session in March (release that acetate immediately fellas) is listed as having been recorded at Pye Studios but there's no suggestion or evidence why he might think that when previous Luxy shows by acts like Cliff and the Shads, Billy Fury etc.. were recorded at Radio Luxembourgs London studio at 38 Hertford Street.
29 April 1964 Top Of The Pops entry says the performance was possibly repeated November / December 1965 - well why not look it up and confirm it ?? You could go to the room next door to check.
How much of the Ready Steady Go / Thank Your Lucky Stars comes from new research or previous books / websites etc..?
It does look nice, but I can't be all that complimentary about the research. There is no evidence that Aint That Loving You Baby was recorded for the Rhythm and Blues show. It was recorded for the July Top Gear. It's on the BBC documentation. So I can only assume he didn't check and relied on Badman et al. for much of this information which is a shame.
I know this may seem picky but shouldn't a book like this be factual and well researched. Given that BBC documentation survives (unlike many of the independent television stations and Radio Luxembourg), wouldn't you go to check any surviving available-from-the-time documentation especially when you're in the room next door ?
