Behind the scenes, it would be interesting to know what they thought of the campaign for HD, now, both the initial push which I thought was amazing, and the way it tapered off so quickly post Christmas, before the tour.

I bring that up in this thread because it has me wonder whether they will adjust their marketing approach for the new album. I'm sure we'll get a huge intial promo to get it charting high, albeit briefly.

Beyond that they're probably resigned to new album releases not being major sellers beyond the first few weeks, but timing the singles so they can benefit from touring seems like very little effort for good potential.

The market for new Stones music has a hard and low ceiling. But to announce the new album to great fanfare, and then subsequently to hibernate for the winter was an odd choice.

I wonder if Mick will be reminded of that "next album is 75% (or 2/3 based on the interview) finished" comments from the HD promo...""old" stuff is not very exciting to the masses in general and to Mick it's probably "shock/horror" ! If they include that second Macca track Ronnie talked about at the time there will be no denying it and of course for any tracks with Charlie either.
Wonder what kind of story their marketing advisers will try to spin to try to make it exciting.

No news since weeks? There's nothing serious to talk about and you see this on the last pages. I guess it comes sticky again when a release date or other info gets leaked.

At this point, and well earlier, people know TATTOO YOU was made up of 100% leftovers. Mick had zero care about it.

As well as all previous albums except SOME GIRLS and BLACK AND BLUE.

They do whatever for albums. The tours are what it's really about.

They had songs with Charlie on an album in 2023 and nobody talked about hearing old stuff. The general interest and media coverage won't be as big this time. I don't think anyone will come up with such critics.

I don't think an 44 old years album is really that good comparison here. TATTOO YOU was made because there was a tour coming and they needed a new album to go with it (= money), with no much hassle and effort. That it turned out to be a masterpiece is a result of lucky accidents.

But at the moment Mick - after neglecting it for ages - seems to be into making albums just to sake of their own, and even just for the arts sake (since no actual money or contract obligations there).

So yeah, I echo gotdablouse's feeling that probably he is not that into using 'old' tracks. But I think if that is the case it is because he has some fresh ones to use instead. It's pretty natural: if the muse is calling, you better listen to her. That seems to drive Mick - and with that the Stones - these days (in that case, too bad for the material worth of 2/3 album from HACKNEY DIAMONDS sessions)

This is related to the sort of message the new album wants to offer. Do they still want to somehow still stick to the Charlie days or do they just want to present the Stones as they are now, in 2025. The first option would be like HACKNEY DIAMONDS VOL. 2 with most tracks deriving from the HACKNEY DIAMONDS sessions (incl. another Macca and Bill contribution etc.) and even from Charlie days. The second is that they want to make a sharp distinction with the past and want to show the recent three member, post-Charlie-version of the Stones in their full glory. So most of the material will be new, recently recorded. I think we all have assumed it will be the former option, but somehow my feeling is that it could the latter instead. Depends on Mick's muse.

Bringing up TY was just a point that, unlike most previous albums that had leftovers, it was completely leftovers.

In otherwords, whatever is leftover from the HD sessions shouldn't be an issue. It's not exactly old stuff just as what was recorded in 1969-70 wasn't exactly old stuff that was released in 1972 and 1973 as well as songs recorded in 1977 and 1979 were released in 1980 and 1981.

...and if that's what we get, so's the better than cramming it all into a double album a la Voodoo Lounge through ABB.

HD is tight and I hope the new material is packaged similarly.

Except that at the time Mick was VERY guarded about the material and when he was asked by Rolling Stone why the credits weren't more specific he said he couldn't remember who had played on the tracks and that anyway everyone had gotten paid.

It's only when they came back in 1989 that the actual recording dates starting surfacing and that Mick discussed them.

So yes, some people would have known that Worried About You had been played at El Mocambo or was on the cassette that Daniel Vermeille stole from Keith in Munich but the magazines didn't mention stuff like that at the time.

I guess that I would prefer the Stones to follow Doxa's second option. Make the songs that Charlie took part in a soon to follow Vaults release.

No news about a possible timeline?Umg not yet decided when to release it, if in the fall or next year hopefully with a new tour to support?

Is it confirmed at all that (if) they are really done with recording/overdubbing/mixing/sequencing etc. so that the album could (in principle) go to the pressing plants and printers?

I'm curious about the first leaks, and whether a single will be released first.

That tends to be the pattern that's worked in the past. Whet the fans appetites and get the album pre-orders going.

I still remember washes dishes in the noisy kitchen of a restaurant I was working at as a teen in summer 1981. We had no information on anything in those days, and the Stones had dropped Sucking In The 70s earlier in the year.

On the radio I hear this song, this guitar, never heard it before but it sounded so "stonesy". Then...what is that, Mick? I can't make it out. "If you Start Me Up!" What the hell is this?! It's beautiful! Is this the Stones?!

Anyway, the rest is history but what an awesome way to get introduced to a new stones song and ultimately album and tour, that you weren't expecting.

We are all hoping for some more information.its strange Houston was just last year

"New album due"...really? When? Next month, next year? No one seems to know.

People in the know have pointed out two release windows earlier in this thread: round Christmas and before a tour next year. Both sound plausible to me. So let's see what they'll go for.

Thanks Dandy. The Christmas option usually means an October release then (in time for Christmas shopping). In that case the buzz should start within weeks. You're right, let's wait and see.

This thread is no longer Sticky:
Someone must know something...

No news is good news...

It deserved far far better. Even a shot of a car with it's driver side window smashed and broken glass on the road would have sufficed.

Does anybody know anything? Is the mixing and mastering complete?
I hope we get some official news soon. Unofficial news and the status of the album would be great for now.
