Like McCartney needed Lennon to hold back the maudlin vaudevillian tendencies, Jagger needs Richards to rein in his worst instincts.
LOL!
I never fully warmed to GHS. I'd say it's an OK album but not a great one. (Today of course we would be happy if they came up with an album of similar quality...) But the outtakes I heard sound very interesting so I'm hoping there will be a bunch of good ones.
I totally agree.

Why are you folks so down on the bonus tracks from Some Girls and EOMS? I think they are great and I know if they were issued on bootleg, people would be going absolutely nuts over them, especially in the quality they are on the official releases.
What specifically was wrong with the Some Girls set? were not the bonus tracks on a separate disk?
jb
The SG bonus disc for me stands on its own feet as a very good album.
I love it.
What's wrong with it, for some of those "in the know", is that it maybe doesn't have the tracks they thought should be on it, or it had tracks that they though weren't appropriate because they weren't strictly speaking from the SG sessions.
None of that matters to me . It's probably one of my favourite albums...and for me , for an album that you can't buy on vinyl.... that's saying a lot !
Whatever finds it's way onto bonus releases, you'll never please everybody with the content.

exactly the kind of quote I expect out of Sir Mick, Like a bunch of rock songs would be bad...instead lets give em Emotional Rescue and Indian Girl (later, I know). Although I like GHS, it pales to albums full of a bunch of rock songs, and its clear who the instigator is. Some times I really wonder about that guys taste in music. Like McCartney needed Lennon to hold back the maudlin vaudevillian tendencies, Jagger needs Richards to rein in his worst instincts.

Until Steel Wheels, I used to think GHS was their worst album, precisely because of the lack of high quality rock songs. Angie as the first single says it all.

There are few Stones social commentary songs that I like, and The Doo Doo Song isn't one of them. The opening riff is played on a Clavinet! How awful is that?

Heartbreaker is so perfectly 1973

Are Sticky Fingers and Exile «full of a bunch of rock songs»?
Of course not. Those album's strengths are within their musical variation.
Exile wouldn't be the same without:
Sweet Virginia
Torn And Frayed
Sweet Black Angel
Loving Cup
Let It Loose
I Just Wanna See His Face
Shine A Light
Shake Your Hips
Sticky Fingers wouldn't be the same without:
Wild Horses
You Gotta Move
I Got The Blues
Sister Morphine
Dead Flowers
Moonlight Mile
And Rocky, what is the connection between Blood Red Wine and Winter? I've never been able to hear it.

GHS is nowhere near being 'one of their three greatest albums'. That's why everyone was let down. GHS followed four of their greatest studio albums, and their greatest live album. It's got a real uneven mix. (Don't know if they can fix that). There are a few great songs, but a few clunkers too, or ones that simply don't rise to the Golden Age Stones level.
I would love to hear bonus tracks, along the lines of the EOMS and SG projects. Just hearing the real Stones rhythm section is a treat for me. Which is why I love Plundered My Soul, and So Young. (Though I understand that was issued earlier?) The studio Stones ended over three decades now. Steel Wheels was their swan song. All that's left is to see what's still in the vault.

I think Goats Head soup is a very good album with some great songs like 100 years ago heartbreaker,winter,Angie,coming down again,silver train.But the production is bad.The guitars are the worst sounding of any album. On some songs like heartbreaker,can you hear the music ,silver train,the guitars are way too low in the mix and the keyboards and percussion are way too high.On Angie,the acoustic guitars sound muffled .OnCan You hear the music you can’t hear Taylor’s guitar very well.On100 years ago he plays a great solo which is too low in the mix. Even on the tracks like hide your love where the guitar is up in the mix the guitar tone doesn’t sound strong

To this date I still can't get used to the new vocals over old track formula. They just don't sound right to these ears of mine. Even the best of them, Plundered my Soul, I would rather have had a new recording from scratch rather than that (admittedly good sounding) cut and paste backing track (Wyman lovers forgive me!).
