Imho the (unwritten) book of rock biz said "thou shall open your vaults only when you're band is nomore". Basically opening the vaults meant you were done as a band and the Stones stuck to that rule.
Then Dylan (and Neil Young) broke that rule (as he broke many other rules before...) and Jagger warmed up to the idea of releasing archive material.
But obviously given the paucity of the content given to the fans I still think Jagger doesn't believe in the "open your vaults you can still keep going as an active creative entity" new rule.
EACH album between 68 and 81 should be re-released as a 5-cd box, much like what was done with Miles Davis discs.

It makes me wonder why. Dylan and neil young seem to do that.

...surely the Stones must feel proud of some of their long jams, or unfinished ideas, where they got into a groove that made us all fans?

That's pretty ambitious - are there enough completed tracks to fill all those CDs?

I personally am a big fan of stonesstein's "Band of Shite" every time he trundles it out. It's his very own war horse and it never fails to please.

Well I'd include "first takes" "run throughs" and outtakes. You know, the genesis of each song we know.
For example a LIB release would include the March'69 "You Need Someone" acetate, which is a precursor of LIB (the song).

Well there's a guy who just proved you can fill 6cd with basically 16 songs

Seriously I'm sure there's enough worthy material to fill 5cd's. I do think a 5-cd version of B&Blue would be ok if it included the "find a new guitarist" tapes.

If they had some complete songs with Wayne Perkins etc, I'm all for hearing that.

Exile, the greatest of them all doesn't really have the best outtakes. Maybe because they used everything, and also because the raw sessions were really, really raw! But GHS deserves a nice overhaul by the band (well all the albums do).
"Save Me" alone is worth the price.
What the Stones should do is contract this out. Get some hardcores to do the slogging work, and then come in to fine tune.
