I have not seen anybody else post about this.

ABKCO have been releasing official lyric videos on youtube that I recently discovered. Most are really good and some are fantastic. My favourite is 19th nervous breakdown!

I recommend checking these videos out on youtube.

Just watched the Sitting in a Fence video and they got many things wrong in the Video. It differs from the lyrics in the description too.

...I just saw it... good idea.. as a whole, well done...!!

Why is ABKCO releasing these at this time?

For the Gimme Shelter video they say, "Burns like a red coat carpet."

Blasphemy!

It's one of the most important lines in the song and they screw it up.

Indeed. Four years ago released "Paint It Black" has incredible 291 milloin views now, clearly the most watched Stones video in youtube.

ABKCO is basically doing "money for nothing"... You just do a cheap video, put them out and collect the money.

To clarify, I was not referring to the older videos like Paint it black or Gimme shelter. I was referring to the newer ones. Here are links to some of them.

There are more for example Mothers little helper, Under my thumb and Get off of my cloud.

These are really great !!

Yes, I couldn’t believe red coat carpet either!

The videos are enjoyable though, especially when they do the whole album, Beggars, Let It Bleed etc.

Luckily they don’t need to do Start Me Up, You got me .... gonna blow my top!

In an other topic someone ask if there are Cheap Trick fans are on IORR, well these YouTube’s by ABKCO are Cheap Trick(s)

I understand now. It’s just all stones fans have the songs on Vinyl, CD or on smart phones. I wish they would release interesting stuff like live shows or outtakes. Like what is being done with the post ABKCO material. I really enjoy the expanded Sticky Fingers, Exile and Some Girls.

I think these are great! I love the whole SM album, it's beautiful.
I am hoping they do all the songs from Between the Buttons, they did almost all of Aftermath.

I take that back, almost all of BTB lyric videos are there, I guess they keep adding new ones

And you should just as all others know who we can blame for not letting ABKCO letting the archive stuff out. If not, then I’ll give you a little clue: It’s 2 men in their seventies, who wrote the material...

why is that? Because ABKCO wants to cheat them on the royalties?

Surely they don't get as good royalties as from the post-ABKCO era, which they control, but I think the reason go deeper than that. They just hate that they don't own their most profilic era (due to shitty deal with A. Klein back in the day to get rid of him), and they won't allow ABKCO to gain from anything else than from the stuff they have rights for (already released products), even though they themselves (Stones) might lose a dollar or two in the process.

However, to add a bit, sometimes The Stones do show a green light to ABKCO-era projects (R&R CIRCUS, YA-YA'S, CHARLIE IS MY DARLING, ON AIR), so it is not a question they 'sabotage' everything (or decline to co-operate)... But I am sure had Mick and Keith not having their veto right, we had seen much more (interesting) ABKCO era releases, especially better deluxe versions of their classic 60's albums with interesting extra material. Just think of how much effort they put on GOATS HEAD SOUP - a great album for sure, but it's not any true era-defining classic like BEGGARS BANQUET, LET IT BLEED or even AFTERMATH.

All live recordings, with studio outtakes and different versions conspiciously missing by absence... and with R&R CIRCUS even being part of the original settlement deal, together with METAMORPHOSIS and other stuff (compilations). In fact, the band's veto right goes far beyond unreleased material, ABKCO can't even release new standalone compilations or add single tracks & b-sides to the corresponding albums. The "STRAY CATS"-compilation as part of the Stones IN MONO box that collects non-album material is likely the most adventurous exercise ABKCO could do without facing legal trouble.

Still waiting for Have you seen you Mother, Yesterdays Papers, Who's Been Sleeping Here, and the lovely Miss Amanda Jones

And wasn't most of that stuff already released by Decca back in the day, on B sides or LPs released only in certain countries? So that would mean ABKCO would be able to claim some rights to be able to reissue it...although it would seem to go against the unable to release new compilations stipulation.

Never heard it as that before!

Roll on Child of the Moon spoken intro and Jiving Sister Fanny!

The Rolling Stones, at least the 60s version, is gaining a whole new audience of young people. The 60s Stones are ABKCO's bread and butter. And YouTube is where the new audience goes. The ABKCO videos are cheaply made, made obvious by the often ludicrous version of the lyrics. I've enjoyed some of them, and some of the lyrics have been surprising, but right.

There's nothing to prevent the current Rolling Stones from doing something similar with the catalogue they have complete control over. Plenty of songs from the 70s that never had videos.
