Japan: 39-out (2,365 + 400 - 2,800 total)
Australia: 39-out
New Zealand: 39-out
Italy: 44-out
Ireland: 62-out
Canada: 92-out
Over and out...
A shame as Tattoo You Deluxe could have had so much potential as far as sales and longevity, but with very little publicity/promotional effort, it's already soon to be forgotten.
Maybe next will be a live No Filter release...there have been a couple decent shows from this leg of the tour that could be worthy of release, or maybe they can do a compilation of live tunes from the last four years.
Probably a better chance of that happening than the supposed new album...or more likely a 60 and Counting compilation ala 40 Licks or Grrrr with Ghost Town and maybe another new tune added................
It's more likely a reflection, or realistic image, of how X amount of more people are streaming than buying than 10 years ago yet alone 5.
They could've done something similar to The Beatles in the 1990s with their extremely successful anthologies. But no.
The idea of a hard copy for music has basically left the planet. What few there are that are hard copy purchasers, regardless of format, are an absurd ton more fewer than it used to be. The Stones (UMe) are crossing the divide but losing on one end, hard copies, way more than the other - and streaming is barely cents, not dollars, per stream.
It's an outmoded ideal: the big record label paying whatever to the band/artist in return for... not much nowadays. Yet they continue to operate as if people still buy music.

You're absolutely right. Stephen Marcusen made a very bad job. I'm an high fidelity addict (JBL/McIntosh/Audio Research equipment) and sincerely the sound is muddy, without space, compressed, highs are harsch. Same things on the Wembley show.
The best Tattoo You remastering was made by Miles Showell in the Box "Studio albums collction". Here the sound is plenty, smooth, with body and opulent bass.

I've heard Miles Showell's remastering of Tattoo You and you're right ... sound is amazing. Much better than the new 2021 remastering. Clear sound, powerful bass.
How is the sound of the other LP's?
Thank You!!!!

Some people have written that the quality of the live recording from London is poor. For me, the mix is the best of the 81/82 tour of what has been published so far.

Hello Caouthchouc,
by "other LP´s", you are reffering to the other albums remastered by Miles Showeel, or the other LP´s present in the "Tattoo You Deluxe Reissue"?
Regards.

the more I listen to Troubles A Comin the more I like it, especially the lyrics.. Hope they put it back in the live show..
also enjoy most of the extras, especially It's A Lie.. the only odd one to me is Drift Away.. for some reason doesn't seem like a Stones tune lyric wise, but I don't skip over it

Neither Trouble's A Coming nor Drift Away are Stones-tunes.

The Beatles - Let It Be, 50th anniversary edition will be released on October 15
The Rolling Stones - Tattoo You, 40th anniversary edition will be released on October 22
ABBA-Voyage will be released on November 5
What are the chances Tattoo You, 40th anniversary will reach the top spot in the charts and will it survive after November 5?

Other than playing TAC a few times at the beginning and vaguely referring to it as a "new song" have they mentioned TYD at all ?

It does make sense that UMG weren't going to go out of their way to push TYD based on the poor sales of GHS that they must have sunk a ton of cash in (fabricated Scarlet story, remixes, etc...) but to sing that low...heck they even linked to that hideous "Jagger video for the marketing team" from 1981 shared by a random dude on YT.
Also you'd think the Stones could have done a little bit more to promote it during the tour, what would that have cost them ?! Is it beneath them or what ? Or did they want UMG to pay them for promoting it ? Other than playing TAC a few times at the beginning and vaguely referring to it as a "new song" have they mentioned TYD at all ?

That's why they're not Stones tunes lyric-wise

trouble with online, too much explaining to do: I meant: Troubles A Comin sounds like a tune the Stones could and should do (to me), but Drift Away does not fit them "lyric wise" (to me).. Make sense? I know they're covers, heck they do a ton of covers, but Drift Away just doesn't seem to fit them (once again, IMHO)
They did do that track back in 1976 : it was titled "Crazy Mama"!Quote
