There is always so much talk about what's in the vaults still and what that value brings to a record deal, but given how relevant the band seems to be these days, dare I pose the question of: Other than those of us die-hards who will gobble up everything, who the heck else nowadays is going to care about what is being released from 40+ years?

Oh well sure, when one of them dies. That would mean that...the box set or whatever is already done and is just waiting for someone to keel over.

Maybe it will be a bust like when they opened the vault of Al Capone on national tv. You may just find a crumpled up piece of paper with the lyrics for Emotional Rescue part two.

Ummm, The Beatles Anthology series was Apple/Capitol/EMI Records. Not Ryko. Is that what you meant?

.....so the Rock and Roll Circus came from an unexpected vault discovery, right? There has to be other treasures out there, long forgotten, sitting in the attic of a soon to be foreclosed house of some studio technician's mother.....it could happen.

You think Mick actually said Let's release Rarities? Or was that just a Virgin thing to finish the record deal? Because I don't think they released it thinking they would sell 3 million copies. But I would think at some point it will sell that many.

Everyone talks about the vaults as if they think there is some huge locked room with treasure chests full of half finished songs the quality equivalent of Jumping Jack Flash and Brown Sugar. I'm not so sure that there is so much great stuff tucked away in "the vaults".
I think I have heard enough of their outtakes to see that there are plenty of great songs that are worth realize in some way shape or form. And if you are talking live shows, the list is pretty endless with how much great stuff they can release. Don't understand why people think the band has to be done to release this stuff. Neil Young and Dylan have been doing it with great success, and the Dead always did the same.
And if people don't think it won't sell, well Zeppelin had a huge hit live album and dvd a few years back, if the Stones do it right and market it the right way they can have the same kind of success.

Most people who go to Stones concerts now arent even interested in buying their new, official material. the band's record sales are falling dramatically.

That certainly depends. When the tickets went on sale for Horsens, you could not find ANY Stones in the stores anywhere. Everything was ripped from the shelves. I even went to the town's second-hand CD shop, and there was nothing.
