"All the deluxe stuff that everybody feels is their birthright to receive, as diehard Stones fans, all that may come later ..."
You're right. They'll have us buy the UMG classic "remastered" (ahem) versions and THEN in 18-to-24 months they'll sell us the Deluxe/2-cd versions with bonus.
They would probably follow the example of the Who, first releasing single-CD Expanded editions, with a handful of bonus tracks, THEN, several YEARS later, releasing Deluxe 2-CD editions, with the same extras that were on the Expanded editions, plus a few additional goodies that weren't good enough to make it onto the Expanded editions.
Best hold on to your single CD of The Who Sell Out because they've dropped Melancholia - which is odd. It's meant to be an expanded version of Odds & Sods, which may be out next year.
You mean Melancholia, which is on the expanded edition of The Who Sell Out, is not on the Deluxe edition of The Who Sell Out?
Affirmatron. Neither is Glow Girl (but that is on the current Odds & Sods CD). The only way you can get Melancholia now is to buy/download the box set.

Anybody remember this nugget? I was so pumped the day I read this...then a year or two later it turned into that lame single-disc Rarities 1971-2003. At least it had Through The Lonely Nights, but we could have had six discs worth of this. Who knows, maybe we'll finally get it for the 50th anniversary.

Stones Readying 40th Anniversary Box Set
December 07, 2001, 11:30 AM ET
Nigel Williamson, London
The Rolling Stones plan to celebrate the group's 40th anniversary next year with the release of a box set, featuring rarities, outtakes, and unreleased live tracks taken from different stages of the band's career.
A spokesperson says the group is not yet ready to announce plans for its 40th anniversary, but guitarist Ron Wood has revealed that the Stones are is already at work compiling the box set in an interview due to be published in January the British rock magazine Uncut. He also suggested the release would be supported by tour dates in autumn 2002.
Details remain sketchy, but according to Wood, all members of the group were recently delivered "hundreds of hours" of tapes and have been sifting through them to select potential material for the project. In the interview, Wood says he has already been comparing notes with Stones guitarist Keith Richards over what should be released from the tapes.
Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the Stones' first appearance on the stage of London's Marquee Club, on July 12, 1962. However, according to Wood, the commemorative box is unlikely to be released before September. Mick Jagger told Billboard last month that "we're trying to cook something up. I don't want to talk about it too much yet, but the 40th anniversary is a good party to give."

So how exactly does one get this box to house the remasters in? Is it coming out tomorrow with the remasters (in the U.S.)? Do you have to buy it separately? Does it come only with the four remasters packaged as one set?

What's wrong with Sticky Fingers and GHS? Are they mixed to loud? I plan on picking them up this afternoon. May go with IORR instead.
