I recall NO hype whatsoever of the Virgin reissues. They just showed up one day.

So...what? EMI has control over the masters? The Stones do, not EMI. That's how I've always understood it.
And EMI're just gonna throw away (or whatever however) all those CDs that didn't sell? That's just stupid.

OK. So what that means is Universal couldn't do anything at all until EMI's contract ran out as well as Virgin's (I forget which one expired first), which was what all that hype was about in May of last year?

I don't know when exactly the Virgin remasters came out other than sometime in 1994.

Here they come. We knew it was coming and now they’re here. UMe, who assumed the Rolling Stones contract along with their non-Abkco titles, will reissue some Rolling Stones titles on the UMe label. I’m guessing that there is no re-mastering or expansions but, rather, just getting these physical discs into stores with the “proper” labeling. The affected titles, planned for May 5 are: Black and Blue; Goat’s Head Soup; It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll; and Sticky Fingers.

And my guess is nobody will notice.

The entire point of Universal signing the Stones becomes more elusive by the day.

Yeah. It's one of those things that just make you shake your head and I can't feeling really annoyed about all those opportunities that they lose out on. Instead we will probably have some stupid Easter Holiday Sale from RS.com coming up, giving us tongue-branded eggs and bunny ears...
