This was never released on vinyl in the past, so we're back to black!
Unofficially released on 3LP Vinyl (allegedly by Virgin Music Holland) in 2002 as Limited Edition box-set (1000 pcs, numbered) - [www.Discogs.com] , [www.Musik-Sammler.de] , [Gripsweat.com] .
[TheRollingStonesShop.com] says: "Forty Licks released in September 2002 on CD and a very exclusive run of vinyl".
But if you look on Musik-Sammler.de closely at the LP-label, it looks very unprofessional and has many spaces in the words of the fine print, e.g. "T he Own er re se rve d".
There're also no RS/ABKCO/Virgin/DECCA logos on the label, no (C) year, no labelcode, the fine print is generic, it's not the Forty Licks logo on the label, typo instead (Fourty Licks), 'The Last Time' is missing, and so on.

That they could've bumped at least 2 of the 4 new songs at the time off, put on at least two others, and then updated it and called it SIXTY LICKS?

The funniest thing about this release to me is they said it’s in celebration of Mick’s birthday. I’m thinking how poor. But yeah I know it’s not aimed at the hard core fans, but in reality it is

Some 15 years back or so, I bought the CD version of "40 Licks" online for $10 when it was just about to switch distributors from the one owning disc 1 to the one on disc 2. Also, it was the 1st time that I got any of these songs. There's hardly been a purchase with a higher value-to-money ratio.
The reissue looks as solid a set as "40 Licks" has always been.

I would have thought an EP with the four new songs at the time would have been a nice idea.
I would have bought this record immediately......
