If they release a live 1981 show I hope it is one when they played Tops, Down The Apiece or Mona instead of the standard set list.
You mean Philie'81 aka "the most appaling opening gigs by a major rock band"?
Jagger would rather put his youngest child for adoption rather than see these 2 concerts being given an official release!
at least it would be fun!! lol (the release, not the adoption)
My friend and I shook our heads in disbelief it was SO BAD!
I passed the time... I took out my sketchbook... did some drawing & doodling, writing
We laughed at the spectacle, partied

I think we will get early versions of Waiting on a Friend(it wasn't on the GHS reissue), Slave and Worried About You.
There are bootlegs out with the earlier versions and polishing them up should be easy.
My best guess is that those 9 bonus tracks will be a quasi "best of outtakes" from the same time frame as the album, 1972-1980. That would make sense. Stuff like Drift Away, Fiji Jim, Built That Way, I Need You, I Love Ladies, Misty Roads and others.
I see no sense in polishing up earlier (and mostly inferior) versions of songs that have already been polished up for inclusion on the original album. Why should they do that?
Oh, and here's hope for Separately as I deeply missed it on GHS Deluxe.

Am I the only one here is who isn't as enamored with IORR as many others? I became a Stones fan in 1989, at age 13, and I got SW on cassette along with The London Years for Christmas that year. In 1990, after Flashpoint, I found IORR very cheaply priced on cassette and decided to pick it up, but between the sound and lack of overall good songs, I thought it VERY different from what I knew of them already. Ever since, I've not listened to it much. It has one or two songs - Fingerprint File I've always enjoyed. But IORR and Undercover are the two least played studio albums for me........followed very closely by Emotional Rescue.

For me it all feels a bit too late. I mean a re-release 40 years after the original release. I guess this re-release business accelerated when they realized they didn't have to make new recordings anymore.
Had they realized that earlier we wouldn't have had 40 years between the releases.
It's extremely likely that the Stones never had any intentions of reissuing albums in this manner. They signed up with UMe and UMe said something.
So when these releases happen really has no relevance, as EOMS and SG provided, to anniversary dates, specifically. Afterall, TATTOO YOU, so far, won't be out on the anniversary, 8-24, but it will be within the digit year 40 years later.
I guess they've discovered no profit in doing Deluxe editions with the ABKCO albums.
I don't think they really want to cooperate with ABKCO, they have not seemed to give them anything new or allowed them to release anything rare. The ABKCO deluxe editions have been nicely packaged but thats about all.

I'd much rather have a release of one of the DC shows over the Pontiac shows.I know they have video's of these concerts I was on the front row at one of them and there were cameras all over the place.

The official cassette tapes are very low quality. You'd think it would be great quality since it's an official release?
During the time when cassette players in cars were 'the thing' I would get LPs and record them on to high quality cassettes since the sound on the official releases sucked so badly!
It's Only Rock and Roll is one of my very favorite Stones albums. I didn't like it at first. If You Can't Rock Me and Dance Little Sister sound like a barrage of noise, now I LOVE THAT SOUND! Short and Curlies was always a great song for bachelor parties. Time Wait for No One...Mick Taylor among other great things about that song. Luxury with it's rock and roll reggae mix - very cool. The guitar solo in Dance Little Sister is my favorite! Some how If You Really Want to be My Friend takes the Stones to a whole other level in music and became a favorite with the best Jagger "ou Yeah!"
Jagger is great on every song!
Some albums take time to grow on you like a vintage wine. What you may not like now may become great to you later. Revisit IORR from time to time. Give it a chance as you mature. Lie you said, you haven't listened to it much.
Emotional Rescue is another one as is Dirty Work, revisit from time to time to get to appreciate them. That's part of the beauty of being a Stones fan, these albums don't wear out after the initial rush like many songs do (Hot Legs by Rod Stewart comes to mind). They're like a fine wine, you'll develop a taste for them, I believe.
The 81 tour opener would be killer to have audio and video of . Also I agree that I would love the Tempe Arizona show on audio and video . It would be nice to have the Philly show(s) because there are no horns and it would be unique in the collection because of that alone .Quote

The Philadelphia soundboards are cool because there wasn't any saxophone on the tour yet. One of the days had a cool Black Limousine with Ron doing extra lead guitar duties.
Another thing about the Philadelphia soundboards is noticing how fast the songs were played. They seem to pick-up where the 1978 tour left off. A lot different than the more laid back performances from the end of the tour.
"You Can't Always Get What You Want" sounds more like Love You Live than Hampton.
"Tops" was great to have - warts and all!
--
It would be cool to have "Down the Road Apiece" live from New Jersey. The best live 1981 tracks are from the "Screwed and Tattooed" bootleg (mainly from New Jersey) and the radio broadcasts (many great tracks from Pontiac, December 1st show). New Orleans was a hot show but it was never bootlegged in very good sound.
Phoenix 81 (Tempe) would be an excellent show to have complete - audio and video. Great concert but horribly butchered to death in the Hal Ashby movie. It would be great to have the full and a very clear sounding version of the whole Phoenix show, especially Just My Imagination, Black Limousine and Neighbors. Under My Thumb is great from Phoenix, too!
The Stones usually just re-release what we already have when it comes to live shows. It's great to have it in better sound. As far as the Stones creating a whole new faux concert with the NJ shows, Phoenix, DC and New Orleans, it'll never happen (Screwed and Tattoo'd picked the best tracks).
A nice photo book from the tour would be great. Most of then are in the Stones 1981-1982 Wardrobes thread [iorr.org] . I'd love to help to put that book together.
I'd love to have some great photos included in a deluxe box set. My favorite 1981 photo is from Philadelphia (seen below):

The Stones wouldn't even have to photoshop Bill out of the picture, just the guy in the background with the rolling Stones baseball cap.

Dirty Work I actually listen to fairly regularly. I like that one a lot, more than most on here, I'd say.

I think most consider Undercover, and its followup, Dirty Work, to be the lowest point in their studio albums. There's one good song on Undercover, and maybe three on Dirty Work. They were made when the band was pretty non-functional, and it shows.

Exactly , and I would argue that Undercover was there last fertile and creative album , even though there was the 2 different presentations/ concepts from each twin before the implosion , which then brought Dirty Work and everything since . Darn ShameQuote

If the "Fully finished studio outtakes" show something is that, on the contrary, in the early eighties the band was pretty much alive, mislead by tensions and personal ambitions maybe, but full of creative energy

It's not. It's the worst of the two. It's a shame the glorious Undercover of the Night has to be affiliated with such throwaway music. Dirty Work is only slightly better. Tell me what albums between 1963 and 1989 are worse Stones albums than those two pieces of drek.

What Undercover failed to do was to match Tattoo You. Which is a shame because on Undercover they at least tried new material while Tattoo You was made of polished up 70s leftovers. Maybe U would have had a higher status had they toured on it? Which they never did. Instead they took a break for seven years so that Jagger could produce a couple of meaningless solo efforts.
