Heavy coverage of the interview, the song and the album on CBC all morning. I’m marvelling at the longevity of the band and the quality of the new material. By comparison, in 1962 would we be listening to new material from a band that started in 1900 and eagerly waiting for more? Never before and, I expect, never again. Damn, guys!

Mick said in that interview that the reason for the long time between finishing the album and releasing it is because the vinyl takes a long time?

Does anyone know why this is? It used to be the only way records were sold and they made a few a year.

It's been like that for a while now. Shortage of materials (PVC plastic) to make vinyl.

Yes - and also a shortage of pressing lathes - most were destroyed when vinyl wen out of fashion in the 80s/90s. There where, however, some left in Eastern Europe....which is why a lot of vinyl pressing today now happens there.

Yeah, apparently only the two tracks with Charlie (and LIAGT, of course) survived their new-found quality control...
...appears that the "new album" we discussed here for years remains unreleased and now we get an "all-new album" instead!

They had enough time now to get more capacity to make vinyl records..
I think they just keep the prices up because we're buying anyway...

DandelionPowderman - still, it feels kinda strange. The power MUST come from the right. Right? Brown Sugar? Kinks One for the road. Black Sabbath. My brain is brought up that way. It´s like reading to me - there you go left...and to the right. Well, guess I´m gonna love this record anyway. Cool.

I'm with you on that, something felt strange/different, Keith on the left, as much as Angry is working to my ears I'm hoping the rest of the album isn't Mick solo recordings with Keith and Ronnie on Guitar.
Last few Stones albums have sounded one sided to my ears.

Were it not for Crosseyed Heart i would have thought Keith has given it up.

I think most of us thought that.

Under the theory that CH was a deposit of old ideas finally coming to light, maybe some still do.

The single biggest stumbling block to a new album getting finished was Keith not wanting to get rolled again. Maybe Mick simply ran out the clock and got his way in the end.

I’m hopeful, though. Of the three tracks we’ve heard, Angry and DoY are Mick. But Get Close bears some Keith fingerprints. Driving Me Too Hard was purported to have been finished recently by both of them. I’m going to guess that Bite My Head Off and Sweet Sounds of Heaven are all Mick. Obviously Keith is the driver of Tell Me Straight. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wrote the two tracks with Charlie on them. We’ll have to wait on Dreamy Skies.

We’re at least in the neighborhood of a 50/50 affair.

Hopefully you have it right there, sounds about right to me.


It saddens me that for decades now that Keith either willingly gives the rains to Mick or just gives in.
A bit like a marriage, in the end no matter how dominant they both were one usually gives in to the other in age.
I've long thought with Mick it's a case of my way or the highway.

Let's face it Keith has always been the more talented one creatively as far as songwriting goes, perhaps what let's Keith down is his unwillingness to conquer technology, I mean he always leaves the mixing to Mick, to my mind that's allowing Mick to turn their efforts into a Mick solo album.

Never mind perhaps after this we might get one more solo album from the Keith & Ronnie.

How is Keith a more talented writer than Mick? Putting aside most of their songs were jointly written, Mick has written Salt of the Earth, Miss You, Moonlight Mile, Shine a Light, Winter,You Can’t Always Get What You Want, Out of Control, Brown Sugar, Dead Flowers,All Down the Line,Sympathy for the Devil, 100 Years Ago,Out of Tearsand others.That’s some great writing

I'd say the biggest hits were in the 60s Keith was the major contributer in those days, then arguably their best album Exile On Main Street is mostly Keith. So I'd say Keith was king when it was a phenomenon.
I don't think Mick could barely play guitar in the 60s.
