Bootleg series, deluxe albums get less and less relevant due to declining sales figures.
Should Mick use endless time on someting that sells so little!!

in contrast to Bob Dylan's vaults the Stones vaults seem to be rather empty. I can't see any way the might be able release something that comes close to the maestro's endless bootleg series releases

it's quite the other way round: due to declining sales figures in music deluxe editions get more important since there are (still) people who are able and willing to spend much more money to get a little extra (songs, alternate take, demos, artwork etc.)
You can sell a double CD for say 15 Euros, but the same double CD plus some extra CD (or DVD), a poster, some cheap gimmicks and a bigger box for 100+ Euros. That's a great deal, isn't it (at least for the music industry)?

To Mick Jagger it is much better economically going on tour than producing additional de-luxe versions.

I don't think he does it for the money. He wants the band to remain a solid living musical entity. The fate of the Who or some other "zombie band" from the 60's is the thing he wants to avoid most.
This could be a killer box set if the Glimmers go back to the mid seventies and include tracks from Munich sessions , stuff that was the origins for instance for Start Me Up , and Tops and Waiting On A Friend . That would be most interesting to me if they opened up the vaults when these tracks were in there infancy from when Mick Taylor was in the Stones .Quote

The bonus cuts from Some Girls, Exile, and alternate Sticky Fingers, were the best released Stones cuts for years. Is the vault empty? Or were they only done because the Stones were dormant, and Mick wanted to keep the band's legacy alive? We got nothing from ABKCO. Their Beggar's Banquet release was a joke. People have whispered that an expanded Let it Bleed was coming, but nothing happened.
Ya Yas Deluxe also deserves a mention.
There were talks about a Tattoo You Deluxe, according to David Fricke in Rolling Stone Magazine, but nothing happened.

Release “Criss Cross” as a worldwide single. Although Jagger would probably want something with his new vocal.
There probably could be a Goats Head bonus. It would be amazing to have Jagger sing on the stunning “Separately” instrumental with Nicky Hopkins’ piano.

IMO, Criss-Cross Mind quickly runs out of steam and becomes rather boring.
Adding vocals on Separately, however, is a brilliant idea!

Most of the posts here have been about whether there are unreleased tracks left ion the vaults but no one seems to know much about the various session takes and different versions.
The Beatles and The Beach Boys recent vaults releases are perfect examples of what can be found by trawling the archives but unfortunately Mick is not too interested in releasing old material and ABKCO also seem to have no interest.
Some of the most thrilling unreleased and hitherto unknown material came with the Sticky Fingers Deluxe box where fantastic new versions of Bitch, Dead Flowers and Can't You Hear Me Knocking were found.
Does anybody know whose job it was to work on that release. I know there was more that could have been added including a weird version of Wild Horses with strings which I heard.

I'd like to hear the B2B outtakes myself. That's a bunch of tracks that are circulating among a coterie of high-level fans...

Perhaps old stones and archeology isn't the combination it used to be.
