Something seems to have gone wrong here: Jake Weber's father, Tony Sanchez, was a close associate of the Rolling Stones and worked as their drug dealer and general helper. Jake Weber's experiences at Villa Nellcote were detailed in his memoir, "Up and Down with the Rolling Stones: My Rollercoaster Ride with Keith Richards" According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipe

If I remember this correctly (please correct me if I'm wrong), the TY version of Slave was built from two takes of the song, originally recorded in the Black and Blue sessions. A real shame they never played it live. 1989/1990 would also have been a good time, considering the sound, spirit and playing abilities of the band at that time.

Judging from the past decades there is a better chance in Europe to get more than just two new songs. Maybe one will have to wait for a potential European leg of the tour for more of the new songs. But who knows.

I would prefer a more naturally-sounding production. But I guess this is a business decision, not an artistic one.

Quotematxil I am happy about Keith's version of Waiting For The Man, though. Maybe it's time for another solo-album? Judging from what one hears, they are already (or still) working on the next Stones album, then there's the upcoming tour(s). I don't see much of a time window for Keith to seriously work on another solo album in anytime soon. Also, I wonder if he has so ma

Quoteshadooby Nope don’t smoke. Two separate copies skipping or hanging at exact same spot on 3 different cd decks and 1 pc can rule that out. It’s a manufacturing defect. Sounds like 2000s style copy protection.

I never bought any of these CDs back in the 80s because they were so hissy. The 1994 Virgins were a revelation when they came out, and they still do fine for me. The 2009/2010 versions I don't like (like most other people, it seems). There appear to be a number of Japan versions but I don't know any of them so no judgement here.

In 1990 they had overall great sound and everybody was really playing well, also Mick sang much better (comparing the 1982 and 1990 shows that I saw).

QuoteWorriedAboutYou Will this be the best album since Hackney Diamonds? Yeah, any new album will be the best since the last one. More seriously now, a new album together with (or before) a potential Fall tour wouldn't seem totally unrealistic to me. Might also freshen up the set lists a bit.

For me a major difference between Still Life and Flashpoint was that Still Life came out shortly before the Show in my town, got quite some airplay, and thus gave you a preview of what to expect. Flashpoint came a year after Urbal Jungle, and at least over here without any promotion at all (I remember that I just saw it by accident in a record store one day). So what one expects in that case is r
