Why in the hell don't they release the Some Girls deluxe on vinyl! I love the bonus disc, and actually they could have released that as a separate album ala Tattoo You! It is so good! Especially, Fiji Jim! ROCKIN!

SG didn't catch the top of the vinyl resurgance wave I'm afraid.
The subsequent SF and GHS and TY deluxe reissues got the vinyl option for the "bonus tracks" , whereas the previous SG and EOMS didn't .
Had to tolerate CDs for those .
Because in 2011 vinyl was a niche product. I believe, it still is. The superiority and rebirth of vinyl is overrated. It is just another commercial buzz fueled by millennials nowadays.Quote

Musical information survives quite well the various types of noise and distortion that analogue recording and playback systems generate.
The less overtly audible [but far more insidious] distortions present in all but the best digital media compromise the musical experience much more.

I've read, some time ago now, about how CDs degrade over time and given the relatively short existence of the format that is troubling - though I guess for digital that format is already obsolete.
I contrast that with vinyl, or even shellac. I've purchases 50 or 60 old shellac titles and a turntable with a dedicated stylus for shellac. Played through a modern system the sound is revelatory. Playing a 110 year old disc, with all the limitations of the recording in the day sounds fantastic. So my long winded way of agreeing with you, the music survives exceptionally well, if the original format is well pressed and cared for.

I must have missed the Exile Deluxe on vinyl then !
You do mean that it was released with the bonus material on vinyl ?
I did buy the reissue of the original album at the time....and the later half speed Abbey Road remaster by Miles Showell .
[Interestingly, his subsequent half speed re-mastering for the 71-2016 boxed set sounds quite different.]

Vinyl sounds better. Better quality, better fidelity. And better artistic statement.

I got to listen to the recent Tattoo You release on vinyl, and it was fantastic. Of course I it was the first playing, which is almost always the best for that format. I know from growing up that vinyl degrades with each play.
I have heard some mind blowingly good CDs, usually with the Dolby Atmos mix on bonus material, or Blu Ray music CDs, or SHM CDs. '
I remember that talk about CDs degrading over time. I built my early CD collection in the mid-80s through the infamous Columbia Record Club. My James Taylor Greatest Hits CD that I've had all these years sounds just as good as it did back then. Steel Wheels was my first Stones CD. It sounds fine, though I've replaced it with a SHM CD version. (Not the best, I should have got the flat transfer).

No the bonus material was only included as a cd. At least in my Super Deluxe-copy..

I bought the Some Girls bonus album on vinyl some years ago from some record fair. It’s a boot obviously made from the cd, but it’s ok while waiting the official vinyl to be released.
I love vinyl, because the artwork is also a big thing for me. Just like books. I read e-books, but if something special comes out I want to own it as a physical format. And it it includes photos as large as as possible. And Rolling Stones is something special, on books and albums. For both ears and eyes.
