but is there really anyone who is still interested in sales? When the Stones were noisy to sales they were accused of giving too much importance to this aspect, now that they don't it's the fans who worry, weird ... personally I don't give a damn about how much they sell

Didn’t Exile Deluxe sell well.They could have celebrated the 50th anniversary of Exile with a great sounding live album and a video of 1972 performances.That would sell okay.That was their mythical tour
Even less sales and we get a mixer that's even worse than Sam Wheat.Quote

It's the fans who think a bit further who worry because: No sufficient sales = no more releases from the archives - and it will be Greatest Hits compilations and endless recycling of previously released material only from now on - is that what you want?
I pay attention to the shit sound of the L&G audio release. They have never released anything with good sound quality from the fabulous 1972 tour.Plus the Texas shows were not even the best performances of the tourQuote

L and D has been out for a long time. 73 Brussels can’t be beat. Exile deluxe is over with. Pay attention.
Not more tiresome and repetitive than 'photo of Bill is missing from booklet'Quote

Have you guys been following the discussion on the Steve Hoffman forums? Every single new release all they do is complain about compression and reverb. I’m not even saying I disagree completely but it’s just so tiresome and repetitive.

It would be a good time to release their proposed 1972 album, which I think was taped in Philly, NYC, and maybe a couple of other spots.

No 4 in The Netherlands (musta been at least seventeen people bothered to buy it
Now, my copy still hasn't arrived (my first order was canceled over some unexplained amazon problem). I have a feeling that the album will be really good.

In New York , I can download the entire El Mocambo off YouTube or internet postings for free.Does that cut into sales?

StonedRamblerNo since I think barely one downloads these tracks from YouTube. Most people will stream it, on Spotify of YouTube and that will get them money.Quote

Unbeknownst to me, an audio rip was included with MOCAMBO. I can listen to it via Amazon Music as well as CD!
That's kinda what that whole Steve Hoffman forum is about. Complaining about the sounds of releases. The people there are mostly audiophiles that are dissatisfied with the sound of everything.Quote

I had no idea this record would affect me the way it did - I thought I'd like it ok- but I didn't expect that I'd fall in love with it I have. The first four songs for me, are the ultimate - the tightness, swagger, confidence yet vulnerability actually brings me to tears- hearing Mick talk to Charlie, the snickers, chuckles and reactions to each other; they are human beings, friends in a band, but also desperately working to hang on and prove something - this record just brought me to my knees. Bravo, men.

Excellent, most excellent release. They were on fire. Guitars, esp Keith are very good.
It showed me once again that Bill Wyman was the one loss they could never recoup. His playing on '@#$%&' alone is worth the price.
Keith does some great lead guitar on 'Worried Life Blues".
"Hot Stuff", "Luxury", 'Night" are very good.
If I was going to nitpick, I'd have to say that often Billy Preston's piano sounds awful. The actual sound, not the performance.
Would this have been a better live release instead of 'Love you Live'?

I loved Love You Live in it's entirety when it was released and played all four sides to death, but I was also a bit young and naive back then.
I still like it all to this day, but no doubt El Mocambo as a complete cohesive club show would have been the better choice for a variety of reasons.

I didn’t get Love You Live till the late 90’s, but it will always hold a special place in my heart. In 1999-2000, my junior year at The University of Tennessee, one of the two LYL discs was nearly always in my boombox-like CD player next to my bed. I can still picture the gold tin ashtray next to the CD player. What a wild year.
