SITS and Rarities are different types of compilations. Rarities purports to be what the title says: a collection of rare songs (mostly b sides), that only fans would buy, the flaw being that it doesn't quite live up to that principle as it has the occasional song on it that is available on a regular album anyway.
SITS seems to be leaning more to a greatest hits type of compilation to a degree, probably aimed at the larger audiences that only want 'the hits' from that period. As such it is indeed a strange set, only essential for the fans because it has, what, three songs on it that weren't available elsewhere.
This is why I bought Rarities, but not SITS (at the time I already owned the single b side and taped the other two relevant songs and today you have these two on dvd and Rarities). I can't see the need to have versions of songs I already have on albums, but have parts of them cut out. Which is why Honk really isn't such a bad compilation as it has the proper, full versions instead of the aborted ones on previous compilations.
Tattoo You may have been compiled from already existing songs, but to me it sure works as a proper new studio album, more so than some other albums I know, I see it a bit like The Stones' own Abbey Road Let's just see if the expanded GHS will really come out, personally I don't see how TY could get the expanded treatment, except with alternate takes and some live stuff maybe.
If I Was A Dancer, When The Whip Comes Down (live), Mannish Boy (live), Everything Is Turning To Gold, Time Waits For No One and Crazy Mama probably let them down, then
No, I think it was planned as an "oddball-compilation", from the title, via the cover art to the selection of songs. Odds and ends, with a few singles thrown in.

What Keith had to say about SITS:
That's just going along with record company demands and what's written in the contract.
He didn't say anything about TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE. The only one he's ever really talked about, that I've read, anyway, was FORTY LICKS. It's probably safe to say Keith has no idea about TWFNO, REWIND or JUMP BACK.

After TY gets the deluxe/remaster/reissue treatment, then it gets depressing, because all that's left will be Undercover, Dirty Work, etc.

Why don’t they just ditch the whole deluxe version thing and release a boxed set of rarities/Demos/alternates. The basic reissue of each album do not sound as good as the Virgin releases anyway.

A re-release adding outtakes from an album that was itself just mostly outtakes
It was entirely outtakes.

Mariano, I'm actually in the very small minority that actually likes Dirty Work. Yes, several songs like Back to Zero and Winning Ugly real of 80s production and sound very outdated but I live the Chuck Berry sound of "Had it With you" the very by the Stones sounding title track. Harlem Shuffle is a solid cover and One Hit to the Bottom is a total gem. However, sales for a Dirty Work Special Edition would be quite dismal. I always felt that no supporting tour for ER, Undercover, and Dirty Work really hurt those albums. Just imagine an Undercover support tour.

What about Heaven?
Wasn't that something Mick did on his own specifically for Tattoo You?

Yeah he can be a bit prickly, Stone66. Must be a treat at parties. You'll say the sky is blue and he'll correct you and tell you "it's light blue, what is wrong with you?"
I think the basic track for "Heaven" came from the 'Emotional Rescue' sessions. Overdub sessions for the Tattoo You tracks including many vocals were done new in '81. That's my understanding anyway, though perhaps I too will get a response as though I were a misbehaving child.

Most likely, Gaslight was the one that made you aware of it stemming from the ER-sessions in the first place

Ha! Actually, no. But even if he was the one that made me aware, it's hardly common knowledge to everyone, and...IMHO...it makes the whole forum look bad when someone comes to the board looking for answers and gets that kind of a response. I'm not on here a lot myself, but I've been on long enough to know there's a few posters that kinda treat people that way.

OK, got it, thanks!
Because I'm not on here every day, and have other things in life to think about besides Rolling Stones trivia non-stop, sometimes I'll mis-remember bits of information and confuse one thing for something else.
I mean, this is a forum where information and assorted opinions are exchanged, so when a thread like this comes up and I wonder about something relating to the topic, I ask a question to get the information. But...
...we're expected to read every thread top to bottom and know about everything that's been discussed and when...
Based on those brusque responses above, it's like some folks are just too cool for the room, y'know? As if they own the place.
Well, thanks for answering my question. Now I'll just log out, and get back to focusing on some of those "other things".

I'm no expert on the timing or order of the reissues they've been doing, but does a 40th anniversary reissue of Tattoo You seem likely?
