unsurprising really. you're only selling to the absolute diehards (everyone older than 40 that wants this material already has it), and a very few new fans.
I indulged once again...it's getting ridiculous though.
The reality is that only people over 40-45 is the one buying physical product, you will never sell an album to anyone under 40 nowadays, 70% of the market is streaming and this compilation is only a shuffle playlist released to the streaming market with various physical variations for the aging diehards ready to buy anything over and over again.
That's only partly true, georgelicks. My 10-year-old son has become a Beatles fan, i.e. we buy the albums for him ...

and I'll add to that observation and say that the vinyl album has in fact made a comeback, and I definitely see under 20s buying physical releases in stores that now have vinyl racks. That said, it's a minor part of the market, and I'm pretty sure their isn't a big push in that age bracket for physical Stones releases.
CD nostalgia is already here. But not mainstream yet. Did you check recent prices on ebay for this one?Quote

It will be interesting to see what happens to CD format. Vinyl managed to survive somehow, but will CD have such a similar nostalgic boom in future. Do the people of CD era have such a passion for that format of their youth as the people of vinyl era. And will the hipsters of tomorrow discover that lost format...

Cassette tape nostalgia is here too.
We're only nostalgic for the time when we were young. There is NOTHING about cassette tapes to be nostalgic about.
Manually rewinding and fast forwarding polyester tape with magnetic dust on it is NOT my idea of fun.

You were absolutely accurate! No other songs are featured that much. For obvious reasons.

You need CD for BillQuote
Palace Revolution 2000
I look at the inside gatefolds and the photos - not one shot of Bill Wyman. Of the studio cuts I count 21 songs!that he played on.
Was revisiting this thread and noticed this response. Please don't presume to tell me what I know or don't know. It is your opinion only. Ad Nauseum if I may add. You should refrain from insulting people who have differing views of the Stones catalog..Everyone isn't a musical savant like you apparently are. Thank You.Quote

iraq0708One Hit To The Body would have been good. But since I'm not buying this money-grab it makes no difference to me. As for the live cuts....well,..the bootlegs are a-plenty..Quote

For long time followers this compilation is nothing but GRRR reheated. I wonder why crap like Out Of Tears or Streets Of Love made it onto a Best-Of-Collection and in the same time only one Dirty-Work-song was chosen. After all Honk is a pretty good way to start for people who do not know much of the Stones but absolutely of zero interest for die-hard-fans. The live-CD is a quite nice bonus, but I think I´ve heard better live-versions of most of these songs before.
After all the talk about being in the studio from time to time for years and years it is extremely disappointing that they haven´t got one damn single new song to offer. It seems in fact they got nothing new and a new album is far from reality, only wishful thinking.
They probably wanted good songs, hence Harlem Shuffle. One Hit is garbage and you know it.
