Anyone else get warped vinyl?
Which edition? Black or Coloured? The stickers of the black 1LP/2LP/5LP say 'Made in France' - so probably pressed by MPO.

I can see why people regard Beck as one the best electric guitarists ever, right there with Hendrix, and from a technical point of view perhaps even the best. But I just can't listen to Beck...All this wizardry and his use of the tremolo bar makes it just not listenable for me. It's the same with Eddie van Halen: I can see that his technique is incredible, but I just can't stand any of his solo's, it's just not musical in any sense. The same with Bonamassa: incredible player, but to listen for more than 10 minutes to his endless screaming solos of 1000 notes per second is impossible for me.

I'm not sure which "guest" plays on which jam?
Mandel on Berry Jam
Beck and Robert A. Johnson on the other three.
Richards is on all of them, no Wood.

Jeff Beck in the Rolling Stones is like genius playing with bloody amateurs. There surely is a reason why Mick Taylor quit…

That's an exaggeration to me, despite the difference in level. Jeff Beck and the Stones got along very well. Listen to "Going Down" in 2012. That's a guitar party on stage, Wood, Richards, Jagger and Watts smiling at Jeff Beck all the time.
Jeff Beck is one of the players that took Old School Rock to a different level.
About the first rocker who ripped the famous Hendrix E7#9-chord off in Rock , left the root out and put the third on string 5 instead. The Wes Montgomery approach. That's addictive for Jazz/Rock/Fusion guitarists.
Mick Taylor gave it a little attempt on the tune “Tusks 1987”, clearly influenced by Jeff Beck. How I wish he had played like this with the Stones in 2012:

Who would listen to something like that voluntarily? I mean, really...
In1972-1973 Mick Taylor was as good as Beck.More melodic, less flash .Quote

Well, if you don't like Mick Taylor, listen to somebody else.

The Black.. I just checked all vinyl, the “original” Black & Blue disc is fine, it’s all the additional material (outtakes and Earl’s Court) vinyl that’s warped.. Would those have been pressed at a different plant than the B&B reissue?
Regardless. I’m asking for a replacement. One disc is so bad it looks like ribbon candy from a distance (ie wavy)

Thanks snoopy2. Personally I like hearing different opinions. I'm still waiting on my box set to arrive so I can't say anything yet. But oddly I'm surprised to hear anything negative about Steve Wilson's re-mixes, although he can't be infallible. Come to think of it I'm one the people offended by his lowering Ritchie Blackmore's intro of Highway Star on Made In Japan. This subject has been beaten to death on the internet but that was a standout moment on the record I never realized until now. Anyhow, we still the original version and some others too. Hey, I hope you get some flat LP replacements too!

Enjoy the difference in the remix.
Love it.
Hate it.
Be bored with it.
Be ok with it.
Like it.
Don't like it.
OK.
No big deal.
Nothing is ruined.
I dig it. I haven't listened to it with headphones yet but from what I've heard I like the differences. Will it be what I listen to more so, overall or in playlists? Probably not.
Quality control issues aside, it's a new way of listening to something, which they did with GHS, which I like a lot.
It's something else, right?
