cheers to neil young
I'm as frustrated with ol' Neil as I am with the Stones. Neil has blocked the remastering of most of his discs, and the Archives set has been delayed and delayed and delayed and delayed.

Yeah, and I've got a bridge I can sell ya. At least the Stones don't string us along with endless promises that they keep breaking.

The entire point of Universal signing the Stones becomes more elusive by the day.
It'll probably seem elusive at this time, but when they go on tour and all the stuff starts happening, it'll probably make sense.
It still won't, but by all means keep up the cheerleading!

And from where do you know this? Fact is that neither you nor I knows anything about the deal. And it's not like Universal and The Stones can't think, so there must be something in it. I'm not cheerleading. You just need to loose the thought that the future is bleak, black and bad. Who says it will be? You might love it when it comes out.

Must be something in it? And what if that whats in it is just taking over the distribution from EMI-Virgin?
I know some collectors think different, but just new catalog numbers dont make me piss in my pants for joy.

I'm not bashing you. I'm just wondering why you have that view of this whole thing?

Further 'update' on MusicTap
"I've received some emails concerning the upcoming Rolling Stones reissues on UMe. There were concerns expressed. Well, I'm here to reassure you that not only are the titles I mentioned earlier (Sticky Fingers; Black and Blue; It's Only Rock 'n' Roll; Goat's Head Soup) will indeed be available to you on May 5 (On April 28 if you want DD). In fact, there are now new additions to those titles. On June 9, you'll be able to reacquire reissues for Emotional Rescue; Undercover; and Tattoo You (those three will be available as DD (Digital Download) on June 2). Let's hope these are title upgrades. More info to follow..."

The Stones don't give a shit about their legacy or how they'll be remembered, unfortunately. Its all about how much money they can make in a short time for the least effort and its becoming more obvious with each passing year.
The Stones have done their best to ensure that younger audiences have been excluded from their shows in recent years, so that's a lost generation of potential fans if you like. I dont think theyre going to be rushing out to buy this stuff and I seriously doubt there are too many fans left out there who are going to either upgrade without the caveat of bonus material or buy this stuff for the first time.

[3 questions:
1.- Are they remastered?
2.- Do they have extra stuff on them?
3.- Will they be released as digipacks or will it be standard jewel cases?

Kent,
I guess you did not read Yazids post from 4 days ago - this probably explains why you are still so optimistic. He already answered two of your three questions:
"I'm waiting more details as I will have to send a communiqué to the french media soon. Most of the releases should be out on may, june and july. No additionnal material on these remastered albums.
YM"
1 - they are, according to Yazid, remastered
2 - there is NO additionnal material on these remastered albums

As I see it:
1) "money is all that counts" is a description that does not suit the case. There is no doubt that if all the new releases had only one or two outtakes added to the list, most of us would buy the whole catalog once again,even if these are all well known. Might be only me, but I always respected them for keeping the bootleg market substantially unrestricted. If a fan wants something, it can have it without big problems. Yes quality is an issue. But the latest releases of Wood recrords are there to prove that in most cases there is nothing much you can do to improve old material.
2) As for young audiences, probably you are not too familiar with the ticket prices of "hot" young acts. Every now and then, as a matter of curiosity, I check out new bands, and I can assure you that MOST ticket prices are awfully high. Probably the stones were the trend setters, but for sure they are not the only ones! Then again, if I compare what the average youngster pays in a season for football games and merchandise (also in the UK) how can the occasional 90/100 euros for a stones concert be a problem? And don't forget that if a concert is expensive, nowdays all studio releases are downloaded for free ...
