Hey all,
After a cursory look for it, I searched for Honk’s 3 CD version yesterday. Apparently it’s sold out at the Stones online store, is priced at around £59 at Amazon UK - I found one copy in a chain store - Is this finally a deluxe edition that was exactly that?

Listed at £10.49 here, which is what I paid when it came out.

Another compilation which will be out of print soon and replaced by another one in 4 years.

4 years?!….oh no it won't be that long....the new new new new greatest hits 9 LP 6 CD set is being worked on right now down in the basement of whatever "label" the band is on this month.....it will be called "BFjURSXP" Which makes as much sense as HONK or GRRRR. Stay tuned! PS--this release will have Back To Zero on it--WhooooHoooo!!! Priced at a competive $468.95 and available in 185 different versions--Collect 'em all!!!!

well, it does have one side of live tunes that won't be on any new hits compilation. I liked that part of the package, was pretty good.


plexi

Has anything ever beat the Hot Rocks two releases...
(8 sides, each a double LP.
That Hink trackist, I mean Tonk...
...that first Hank disc track listing
Looks Damn Good....
...at least up to the eras that
Hot Rocks covered in an unbelievably
proliferate catalog....

But missea LOT ...
I guess there must be a Rate the Compilations thread....
The live guest stuff nights been
Cool I'm person, but I'd
Probably skip it...

Don't laff...there will undoubtedly be a Diamond Anniversary release in 2022.

60 years...I can't quite believe it.

bullet proof for sure, but you do need post 1971 for a true picture. The GRRR! 80 song set for that reason is hard to beat.

For the live LP, get the 4xLP, the CDs are brickwalled. Terrible

All sold out I'd never seen
A mind so tangled, a girl so strangled
All sold out well I felt so green
It was just like that
I was put down flat
I was sold out just like that …….

I logged on (in?) to Spotify today for the first time in 3 years and just listened to LSTNT from the live tracks and... can anyone explain, other than the obvious, why the hell Charlie plays like he plays on that song? It's bizarrely different than all previous performances. First it's 4 on the floor... then it changes to the 2 beat behind the snare... and in front it of. Then the chorus is the 2 dump beat... and he doesn't go back to the 4 beat!

This is the strangest live version of this tune I've ever heard!

I noticed something on Spotify - there are 2 versions of some albums, say UNDERCOVER - the 2009 remaster is louder than the other one, which doesn't say when it's from.

The importance of this comp is important. It needs to stay relevant.

Nice graphics - still haven't bought it.

I find reviews like this, even pre-HONK, hilarious.

MADE IN THE SHADE... was the first compilation album released on the Stones' new label ... and one of the weakest.


I love the no context to the time when it came out.



About SUCKING IN THE SEVENTIES it says "Skip this one".

What a horrible writer.

Ah yeah misread it, but even then - HOGWASH, they're all undeniable classics (though GHS and IORR are debatable).

I don't think GHS or IORR are undeniable classics. Very good yes but not 5 star as in the old ROLLING STONE rating system.

As I said debatable, but from my *personal perspective and opinion they are undeniable classics (though some like yourself are free to deny it).

*I don't base my opinion on what the old Rolling Stone rating system might have given them.

At this point, GHS and IORR are undeniable classics - for their very own reasons, not because of a Big Four etc kind of thing.

Yes I'd agree with that - they're not part of the "Big Four".

At the same time, they're a hundred times better than anything from the last 38 years (imo), so in that sense they're undeniably classic.
Plus the fact that I love them for what they are - a time capsule of a certain era.

they certainly have a number of classic songs on them.

The classic albums are:

Big 4
GYYYO
Brussels
OOOH
Aftermath
Some Girls
Tattoo You
**Hot Rocks, High Tide & Green Grass, Through The Past Darkly

Almost classic, but not quite there...
Between The Buttons
The Rolling Stones
Undercover
IORR
Black and Blue


Excellent:
Emotional Rescue
No. 2
TSMR
GHS
Blue and Lonesome

Very good:
the rest

With NO FILTER possibly returning to North America in 2020 it will be the longest tour for the Stones ever, year wise with the same name, and they'll still be touring HONK, which won't sell more than, what, 1,204 copies in 2020.

I got a question: Does anyone know how many songs from the Honk Live section were released as Coloured EP:s? I got hold of She's A Rainbow the other day, a very nice surprise.

I think that's the only one. It was a Record Store Day release that came out before Honk.

Nice one Chris! Cheers!

It's one sided 10 inch EP released for Record store day - I bought it in Paris on the day of its release for 15.62 Euros. It was limited to 5000(???) copies
