On peut appelé les types en blouse blanche au cas où ça tourne mal!

No CD version - no purchase!

I'll buy it, it's the only Stones studio album I don't have on vinyl, but I have a hard time to understand the point in this release.

I go even further and say:

No new music - no purchase!

This appears to be just a record company marketing exercise with little (if any) band involvement at all, just like the recent "40 Licks" reissue.

The 4 "bonus tracks" are since long time (beside CD) also available digitally in 'The Singles 1971-2006' on [Music.Apple.com] .

(…)

unlreased? 'So Young' and 'The Storm' were on the 'Love is Strong' single CD released in 1994, 'Jump On Top Of Me' was on the 'You Got Me Rocking' single CD. As far as I remember 'I'm Gonna Drive' was on some other single release

The PR is a mess.

But they're not on Spotify so this makes those songs available there which IS a good thing. Are there any other songs missing on Spotify? Many missing ones were added recently like the Forty Licks ones.

won't be getting it already have the original vinyl release from the 90's

but if they had released all the b-sides as a seperate standalone e.p. i would have bought that without hesitation

Also in the box 45X45 singles 1971-2006, it is a complete mess.

Yes, it's also on CD - but I wrote 'digitally' which means streaming/download. 'The Singles 1971-2006' are currently digitally only available completely at Apple Music (iTunes).

And a terrible mistake not to include any of the unreleased songs they have in the can.

This is an easy pass for me.

at that time I still had no CD player
so I bought vinyl
I don't think these b-sides have been available on vinyl
I wonder how that is with 'mean disposition'.
it was not on the original vinyl issue
but maybe it was on subsequent more recent reissues
anyway indeed my wallet is screaming for a divorce but I'm going to pick this up
not nearly as bad as one excellent Keith track on a retardedly expensive Lou Reed tribute

Unreleased bonus tracks? I dreamed I heard those songs on my VL CD singles...

Easy pass for me

What I'd like to know is how many of these they need to sell to break even?

I cannot envision a "mad rush" of sales on this.

C'mon, I can hear your vinyl collection screaming 'I want the 10 inch bonus disc to be added right here'... CD singles not counted for anything..

It's funny but the "firehose" stream of releases has made it difficult to keep up, but even moreso, less "special" to even own.

It's like, I don't care if they rerelease VL...especially if there's no new unreleased material on it. This wasn't a top tier album in the first place why do I need to own yet another copy?

I know you're joking but reality does set in for me, from time to time!

if the pressing is good/noise-free with a good DR and the object itself is nice (like a gatefold cover)... And imagine Mick has chosen to give us an extra booklet which contains the pictures from the Voodoo Stew box...

Well, this disappointing re-issue will save me money at least LOL.
What a waste of manufacturing/materials.
The Stones need to hire a passionate person to compile some great re-releases and get the unreleased stuff out properly.

It looks like there will be another deluxe re-edition this year, the album is not known yet but Mick has been working on several outtakes in the past months.

40x5 has been handling the same information for weeks and already published it on their Instagram account several weeks ago.

We can only wait for more information.

I don't believe Soldatti's post above refers to the vinyl reissue of VOODDO LOUNGE with a bonus EP of non-LP B-sides. I do believe Soldatti's post refers to the long-planned package of outtakes from 1989 - 1997 that has been floated for the past 25 years as a possible project by Don Was. I do believe that is what Mick was finally finishing up lyrics/vocals for earlier this year. Time Will Tell.

I think this release is geared towards those who got into the Stones as their first album. Or, maybe this was their first Stones concert. They still had a good groove back in 94 & 95 even though they had to overcome a few obstacles.

I just don't find this release as appealing to the older fans who saw this release as the Vegas years.

Back then every tour was going to be the last one.

Voodoo Lounge was my first new Stones album and I first saw them on the Voodoo Lounge tour but still I got no interest in it. Why spending 60 bucks on something I already own multiple times? There's nothing new on it. It would be something else if there would be outtakes, bonus tracks and other things to explore. Or even a live album with decent sound.
