Re: Jagger's new 'best of' album to include 'Too Many Cooks'

With any single-disc best of collection, there will always be complaints about what was included and what was left off. I'm happy we get more than just album tracks on there. I don't care for 'Joy' either (that awful cheesy guitar!!), but whatever. I actually always kinda liked Let's Work, I'll admit it. I like the "La-la-la-la-l-la" voices... and that album, in addition to not being very good, always had inferior sound, so it will be interesting to hear the remastering of a couple tracks.
This compilation won't be a huge seller, because while much of it actually would appeal to the commercial-pop crowd, some of it would probably only appeal to the rest of us (Too Many Cooks, Memo, etc), but I still like the idea that those extra tracks are on there, remastered and all, along with some nice footage on DVD.
I think it all looks like a fun release while we know there is nothing coming from the Stones for a while.
Next year we'll surely get something; either another 'rarities,' or another album, or something from Keith, but something. If the Beatles keep putting stuff out every year (along with albums and best of's from Macca and Ringo) the Stones are sure to follow suit and find something to put out for holiday profits.
