ironbellyA bit messed up. The other press release claim 2009 remaster for all but Sucking in the 70's, not for Rewind.

In any case, these are for die-hard only, IMHO.
Apart of 2005 remaster nothing can beat old editions
1975 - Made In The Shade [CDCBS 450201 2] / [32DP604]
1980 - Sucking In The 70s [CDCBS 450205 2] / [32DP610]
and 1984 - Rewind [CP35-5021]
in terms of sound quality.
The other two is just copy-paste job from 2009 sources and special booklets. So, you know .
The Virgin reissues of SUCKING and SHADE sound fantastic, better than the (original) CBS issues.

That 2005 Virgin remasters sound a bit harsh to me. Maybe they start with the tracks from 1994 Virgin remaster but tweaked them. Almost everything is clipped to 0.00 dB with DR9 for MITS and DR10 for SITS. Contrary, old CBS CDs are not clipped, sound warm and naturally with DR13 for MIST and DR13 for SITS.

As usual with something that happens, I'm curious to see if HONK sells well when it comes out considering the news about Mick.

A great release. I mean it. I am just happy to be fan of them as long as they are alive. And to get my hands on new vinyl with new live releases - I am excited. Plus personally - I like the cover art. Looks prettier than Grrr or Jumpbackk to me at least.

Michael Jackson's Album-sales went sky-high on 25-Jun-2009 ....

Yes, but I imagine his sales in 2019 will be pretty modest, after the latest revelations.

Well, this is cute:
While the dominance of decades-old material on all three discs suggests that the Stones’ songwriting heyday may have passed, these concert tracks demonstrate rather definitively that, more than half a century after they first gained prominence, these now-septuagenarian performers are as potent on stage as they’ve ever been.

A nice review, but this part:
The ABKCO label controls the group’s work from the 1960s, which is why you’ll have to turn to the original LPs for that indispensable material or, if your budget is tight, to the excellent Singles Collection: The London Years.
makes me wonder has the reviewer ever heard a collection called HOT ROCKS?

Hmmmmm...I'm a bootleg collector and I've got most of the shows from 2017-8 and I certainly wouldn't be yelling for a OFFICIAL RELEASE for any of them. I enjoy listening to them but the amount of mistakes made would require MASSIVE editing/overdubbing/re-recording etc. Probably like the live disc of HONK has undergone. I won't buy it but I can see why people would---the live disc. Enjoy!!Quote

I'm buying it. I'm glad to get the live tracks in great sound. If this live part was a bootleg, people would be raving and saying, "It should be OFFIICALLY RELEASED!"
Yeah, I 'm looking forward to getting RAINBOW and MR D live.
I think WILD HORSES is a great version, unfortunately I don't care for Florence's voice, even though it's a great performances/ I'm hoping for another WILD HORSES from the tour.
Do we know for sure about the mix and the masters? I'm still on page 4 of this thread.
I'm guessing the live part of HONK is limited release (or did I read that info)? So, it will become a rare collectors' item? Valuable?
Glad to be getting HONKED!
Thanks to everyone who posted on this thread.
yep---if you have some old vinyl boots lying around taking up space...drop me a line. As for the new LP....I guess you will have plenty of money saved up by the time it's released LOL!!Quote

Do you still buy stuff? I stopped years ago. The only exception I would make is a new studio album with brand new material.

“Just for the record, on the latest Billboard 200 chart, 28 albums are Greatest Hits collections” (quote)
What does this say? Humans imprinted these songs in their brains, into their DNA/ computer chip / computer corporate cultural takeover
and humankind can no longer take in new music, new art
Advert, Sports, Replay bombarded the same stuff over over over and now we’re stuck?
Too deep? Okay rah rah greatest hits.
(still in a bad mood)
There is so much great new music out there, but you won't find it in mainstream media or the Billboard charts. It's happening in underground clubs and it is being written about in independent media. When Rock & Roll started the situation was basically the same – it was a regional phenomenon, ignored by the mainstream media and Sam Phillips was selling records out of the trunk of his car.
