d) "remixes" done by the latest and greatest "stars" are almost always headache inducing bs sessions
e) lame, totally lame

all remixes are pointless and lame. Some turn out ok but doesn't change the fact they are pointless and never worth the effort or time. Release your song and move on.
These became popular in the 80s/90s as a cheap alternative to having bands come back together to record legit b-sides, and for some reason so many seem to look forward to them.

that was by far their weakest album and they had pretty much lost it by then. Try Wha'ppen or Just Can't Stop It or any of the many 12" released during that period. But Special Beat Service...eh, not so much.
My point, again, is that their remixes were often better (to my ears) than the LP or 7" versions.
Of course, maybe you just had to be there.

Yeah, not denying remixes 'can' be better, but again, I really have no interest in them. I can't stand when bands do them. I was a huge U2 fan at one point, but then they became all about the remixes, which I found incredibly annoying (their Pop album didn't help things either).
I 'tolerate' remixes w/ the Stones, but hey, they are the Stones and I love them - but I would far prefer they don't allow them!
How come Led Zeppelin and Jimi Henrix never needed remixes? Well it's possible they would have if they were there in the 90s too but somehow I don't think so.

I wasn't trying to change your mind nor was I even replying to you LeonidP - I was replying to and adding on to what jbwelda had posted regarding their first two albums.
Sorry for the confusion.
Not sure where this came from. I didn't imply you were trying to change my mind. No confusion. I was just reiterating my point by replying to you.
** edit ... back on point, I can't wait to hear the new GHS reissue!

Your reply to my post was "To each their own", and then went on to trash the album going against everything I said - "I do recall is giving it one listen and deciding I couldn't stand it"! which sounded argumentative and confrontational. And to be honest, not sure where that came from as again I wasn't replying to you in the first place. I suppose I should have quoted jbwelda as that's who I was replying to directly.
But feel free overreact to any post you feel like- nobodies stopping you.

I wonder what the rest of the band thought when Mick was the only member of the band to be on the cover of GHS and Tattoo you? My guess is that they didn't care.

Am I realy the only one who didn't see this? I realy thought it was some kind of fashion model, like those models in the Robert Palmer Addicted to love video. For about ten or fifteen years the penny dropped and I realized it was Jagger himself. I'm feeling very stupid right now!

You mean like Charlie was the only Stone on the Get Yer Ya Yas Out-cover?

For years I didn't see that it was Jagger on the frontcover of TY, I thought it was a woman.
