I think I openly opined about this a few pages ago. What is the motivation for reissuing a title that didn't sell well in the first place. It can't be the money. What did it sell world wide in the opening week, 5-6000 copies? And it'll dive in sales the following week.
Keith probably spent more on the promo tour advertising the album. I am interested in who makes the business decision on it, and what they look at as a breakeven. Can it just be a vanity project?
maybe he liked the album a lot and has good memories of the tour
or he wants to reward winos fans for sticking with him for so long
either way he has singlehandedly done more to promote this re-release then the entire stones orginaziotion did for the deluxe tattoo you
now what that reveals i'm not smart enough to figure out
but i look forward to the deluxe crosseyed heart next year
which if he does won't sell much either but will please lots of us nonetheless
Don't know if these figures are referred only to the remastered single cd/lp version, or include all the deluxe editions.
What I know is that if there are difficulties in selling a fantastic Keith Richards 92 live show at the cost of a bottle of wine, well that means that the market for Stones related releases is truly dead and gone!
C
Well yeah...there's something else at hand for sure...they wouldn't have expected to sell much, so I think you're right, probably more of a straight up give back to the hard core fans.
Thanks Cristiano.

Keith Richards: “I’ll take anybody’s idea. Writing is a cut-throat business…”
As 1992’s Main Offender gets reissued, Keith Richards looks back on his solo adventures – and forward to a Stones without Charlie
Michael Bonner
21st March 2022
Hi Keith!
Hello darling!
Main Offender is a terrific album. You must be very proud of it.
I am, actually. The first one [Talk Is Cheap] was such a blast, I really enjoyed myself and I wanted to give it a second go. We were more familiar with each other, knew how to play with each other. It was probably more fun, I guess.
And collaborative, too?
A lot of it comes from freewheeling in front of a microphone with a riff. But, yeah, it’s the way I’m used to working. I’ll take anybody’s idea. You can call that collaboration, I call it thieving! Writing is a cut-throat business…
Steve Jordan was your main foil in the Winos. What does he bring to the table?
Steve’s been a friend of the Stones for a very long time. When we came to that hiatus in the ’80s, Charlie said to me, “Listen, Keith. If you’re gonna do anything with anybody else, Steve Jordan’s your man.” I took Charlie at his word, and he was right. Steve and I got together and did Chuck Berry’s Hail,
Hail, Rock’n’Roll [concerts and film], Aretha Franklin’s “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”.
What was Chuck like?
Depended on which time of day you caught him. Aretha was a sweetheart though. She said, “I haven’t played the piano in years.” I said, “Does that matter? Let’s try it.” Straight away, she jumped on the piano: “Let’s do it!” That was in Detroit, at Motown. Otherwise, I’d only really worked with the Stones for, at that point, a mere 20 years! So it was great to get out of the Stones bubble for a while. I learned a lot about Mick’s job, being a frontman.
Such as?
There’s different pressures. When you’re the frontman, you’re in the spotlight all the time. Being the Numero Uno requires a lot of stamina and discipline. You’ve got to talk to
the audience and everything. So I appreciated how much Mick actually works.
Steve, of course, has been with you on tour recently. What does he bring to the Stones?
He brings a knowledge of what Charlie does without… well, no-one can copy Charlie because he was unique. But Steve brings more energy, because he’s younger. He’ll play more to Mick’s dancing than maybe Charlie would. My job depends upon those drums behind me. I’ve been blessed, goddamn, with Charlie Watts for all those years and to find another as reliable as that is fantastic.
What accounts for the Stones’ resilience?
The songs. They can evolve, or different people can step up. It’s a great thing, a very surprising thing to me, but at the same time there it is. I love it. I’m really looking forward to doing something this year for the 60th anniversary. Though I don’t know what yet…

So let me get this straight, you had to buy the signed super deluxe box for $395 to even have a chance to buy the Keith ink for $150?

Main Offender deluxe vinyl sounds terrific! Its a beautiful pressing & mastring …rare these days. This lp edition sounds even better than limited 1st edition 1992 lp.
Winos live in London 2lp is also a great pressing & great gig.

Keith probably spent more on the promo tour advertising the album. I am interested in who makes the business decision on it, and what they look at as a breakeven. Can it just be a vanity project?

maybe he liked the album a lot and has good memories of the tour
or he wants to reward winos fans for sticking with him for so long
either way he has singlehandedly done more to promote this re-release then the entire stones orginaziotion did for the deluxe tattoo you
now what that reveals i'm not smart enough to figure out
but i look forward to the deluxe crosseyed heart next year
which if he does won't sell much either but will please lots of us nonetheless
