Saw "new album Dec. 1" in the News section and got all excited thinking it was THE new album. (sigh)

Why is the cover art so ugly? It looks like a bootleg. Don't feel like buying this now.

Just because of the cover art...?

Just getting this stuff out before it becomes public domain in Europe.
Pretty certain (the recordings) are already in the Public Domain.
50 years = 2013/15.
They are indeed (excluding the Camden Theatre tracks which were part of the 2012 GRRR Super Deluxe Box), and an officially sanctioned release now does not change it: once in public domain, always in public domain.
That's probably why they spent time making it sound better. These mixes won't be public domain, I guess..
The recordings themselves are in the public domain in many (most?) countries, but the new mixes are protected by existing fair trade laws, depending from country to country, ranging from strong to non-existent, this however depending from what evidence they (Promotone/Universal) could bring to a possible court table how significant their investment in studio work really was to polish the recordings for official release.
That sounds just about correct. Maybe Wild Slivovitz, our own copyright lawyer here on IORR, can shed some light on this?

It's an iconic early picture, but it's also used on other official releases (Stones Story, for instance) - in black and white.

Come On sounds good on YouTube. I still think the “holy grail” for this sort of thing would be the improved L’Olympia live recordings, especially the 1967.

I think it sounds terrible. ( ...and I am in no way an audiophile). Keith's guitar has lost all edges; the choppy rhythm attack has been chiselled down into a 'pleasing wash'. I don't even think it is so much reverb, but these 'enhancers' they are using. They soften edges, and blend tracks together. Bill's Bass, Brian's harp and Keith's guitar are all one stew now. I like that he guitar solo used to come in a bit too loud. They evened that out too.
I prefer the boot sound, no doubt.

I am surprised that somebody actually expect audiophile quality for BBC recordings.
Taking the fact that most ordered yellow vinyl I can predict that the ordinary black vinyl version will become collector's rarity in a few years from nowQuote

This one is probably better
The main reason is the rumored set list. According to Nico's site it looks like thisQuote

Why the disappointment at the exclusion of Radio Luxembourg tracks?
It was always going to be a BBC record.
Just wondered, did The Stones ever do anything on 'Pirate radio' (UK Off shore) in the late sixties?

Apparently, these tracks in these particular versions are not in circulation (unlike widely spread bootlegs of BBC recordings). I do not mind to get Misicorama concerts either. But that is different story.

We got the book. We'll get the BBC recordings. And the DVD?
