I'm back from 3 weeks in Miami and NY, on the last day I've got the Honk 2LP version from Urban Outfitters in Herald Square at just $11.75.
It's $19.99, but you get a heavy discount at the store too: 10% and $5 for first purchase.
If someone is in NY you can grab it, not many copies available.

I'm going to guess the Stones, er, Mick has not said a word about HONK on the tour. Which leads me to believe that he's never said a word about any hits compilation while on tour, any tour.

I bought Dancing With Mr D - live, the only thing from HONK I've bought. I may still get the double CD or whatever, because I was looking at JUMP BACK the other day and just started to laugh... it's such a lazy rip off you almost have to have it.

You have to get the 3CD-version including the live bonus tracks.
For the live tracks only it is a must have for any serious collector and it is pretty cheap. Every fan should have "Forty Licks", "GRRR!" (5CD-Deluxe) and "Honk" (3-CD-Deluxe). "Jump Back" is yesterday´s papers and can be stored in the basement. No use for it anymore. It is dated and doesn´t belong in the 21st century.

that's not true. a couple of times in 2002 and 2012 I'm 99% sure mick announced "don't stop" and "doom and gloom" as songs from the bands newest release or the single from the current release or something like that

I agree about the must-have compilations but I'd keep the "Jump Back" original CD (on Virgin records) for the better mastering.

I believe some of the same edits from Sucking in the Seventies are used on Jump Back.

Some "serious fans" are completists and as such need everything.

Tattoo You is indeed a must-have 1972-81 compilation. No kidding. It´s a nice addition to Sucking In The 70s, which is unique because of all the edited versions and live songs.
Rarites is also a must have. At least half of it was new to me or first time on CD when it was released.

Why should GRRR! be a "disaster"?
it offers many songs from the aforementioned comps, has two new songs & a nice extra bonus CD containing stuff that was new to me.
Many fans seem to have a problem with the artwork, not me - I didn´t care, in fact I find it amusing, the artwork for Jump Back, Rewind, Forty Licks etc isn´t any better, imo.

I find the live tracks on Honk utterly un-listenable. Darryl Jones never was my fave bassist, but on these tracks he is god awful. I think it is impossible to find another bass player with less sense of swing.

No mention of Honk at Chicago 1 or any other album for that matter. I don't recall any album or Honk being mentioned at Chicago 2 but will go back and listen. But Chicago 1 he definitely did not mention Honk.

Those edits are essentially single and B-side edits that can be found on... 45 releases but Time Waits For No ONe was edited for SUCKING IN THE SEVENTIES as the LP version is on... TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE.
The mix of Miss You on JUMP BACK (and FORTY LICKS and THE SIMIAN DISASTER) is the UK single mix, not the LP mix that is on REWIND.

Wow. That's pretty bad. Have you liked any of their live releases since 1995? Dancing With Mr D is pretty good.
