Diff in price for TY 2-CD set and the 4-CD is quite something. 2 CD 16.99; 4 CD (incl pic disc and 124 page book) 130.99!
That is 113 Euro extra for 2 extra CDs, picture disk and the book!
Definitely calls for the Super Deluxe Version on iTunes which is 17.99 € for a digital copy of the 4 discs (Album + Outtakes + Wembley show).

Hmm yeah.. sounds mostly based on 'original' 1974 vocals, probably some (recent?) touch here and there, but pretty hard to say more strictly now (or who knows, ever...). I salute the decision. Ronnie seemed to have added his "Start Me Up"-like attack solo (especially live versions), which might point out more TATTOO YOU-like vibes. Funny how Taylor suddenly pops up and continues from Woody has left us with a totally different guitar style and sound...
But funny is also that after having listened the song for ages from bootlegs, and having liked it a lot, some of the magic and supposed quality disapppears when released officially. Like it suddenly sounds bare bones and is qualified against the rest of their catalogue... I recall the same thing happened a year ago with "Criss Cross" and earlier with some EXILE and SOME GIRLS extras. Well, now the tune sounds a pretty Stones-by-numbers song as a Stones tune ever can sound... Not that there is anything wrong with that - by being constituted from such familiar and no doubt great elements and it's bloody hell their own unique sound - but a part of me now understand why it didn't make, say, IT'S ONLY ROCK'N'ROLL or some other album since then.

Yeah, maybe it's those KR background vocals that give it the "70s sound", but MJ vocals are newer.

Yeah. My initial reaction was that this is Mick channeling some sort of more mannish "Start Me Up" voice of his, and I felt some of the early/mid-70's brightness and shine in his voice had disappeared. But then I listened to the old version and didn't hear that much difference. But there is: some of his delivery there is much more guideline-like and even sloppy in pieces. Yeah, it is Keith's background that certainly gives it a rich '70's' sound - something the 'Fully Finished' version lacked.
But whatever it is, and has derived from who knows where, they've done a good job.

The Wembley show is from the 26th. They didn't play Going to a go go or Twenty Flight Rock on the 25th...

Actually is it just me, but this seems to be the CD Super Deluxe, not the 5 LP one....

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a combination of both Wembley shows.
