Quotegeorgelicks Something sacred like El Mocambo that fans have been asking for decades has barely passed 50.000 copies sold worldwide, a deluxe edition of Black and Blue, an album that the public barely remembers and doesn't have a single song that is very well known would be in the same numbers or even less.

I think it is pretty okay. Of course it doesn't surpass the promo video (version 2), but what does? The version 2 is one of the five best music promos ever.

QuoteWitness QuoteHairball That's right Bjorn - it's all related, and it's all relevant! 620 pages!!! The post preceding mine discussed McCartney solo stuff only - with no Stones relevance, at all. That I call spamming this special thread. Do remember, you are on a Rolling Stones forum, not a Beatles forum. If you want to, create a Beatles forum of your own!

Quotetreaclefingers QuoteRocky Dijon The thing is, if all of them are in the studio and they're still talking about songwriting; it sounds like another recording session and not final mixing or even mixing and overdubbing. If it was the latter, they likely wouldn't need Steve as the bottoms would be done. That's obviously why the rumour is for the album for next year. The materi

QuoteMelBelli There’s a great story in the book about the recording of the title track of “Some Girls.” Chris Kimsey: “Mick had so many verses about so many women …” Mick asked Kimsey to edit down the 15-minute track to four minutes. “What verses do you want to use?” “Oh, you can pick ‘em.” I want to hear the unabridged version! +1

Quoterolling1us QuoteDoxa Quoterbk Seventeen songs is TOO MANY! You'd think they'd have learned that with Voodoo and A Bigger Bang. 4-5 of the seventeen won't be nearly as good and will drag down the whole effort. But shouldn't we first hear the album in order to say if there are too many songs or not... - Doxa Completely agree with you Yes - a very good idea...

QuoteHairball Hope Keith sings lead on a song (or two) on the new album. One of the reasons the Blue and Lonesome covers album suffered was because there were no vocals from Keith - not even backup vocals. I hope not. One of the qualities on Blue an Lonesome was that there were no Kieth-vocal tracks. Such a relief.

Just saw Peter Jackson's "Get Back". The restauration was marvelous and there were good moments and it's was kind surprising to see how young - and smiling Lennon often looked. But it was way too long and full of repitition. Interesting though in Stones context to see the impact Stones has. One get the idea that the table has turned for good.

It's a good cover, but doesn't top the original. I think it's a too fast from the start and looses too much of the dynamic of the song. And of course I prefer Mick's voice, but I think it's nice for a change to hear it sung by a female voice - and I quite like the instrumentation.

QuoteHairball "The show could run for five years..." I can see the Stones doing this eventually... Oh yeah - that might be why the shows from 1972 have been held back... Now we can attend all the shows most of us were too young too see. The sixties will back - and the seventies. We will have El Mocambo in 3D - and lots of beer to the critic section.
