QuoteVoodooLounge13 How many on here have bought 40 Licks? I'm waiting for a Black Friday price drop personally. I bought it on CD way back in 2002 and don't feel the need to get it on vinyl. Me and many millions more I would imagine! But SOME music lovers like it enough to buy it. And even if it is no more than maybe 1500 good people in the US who hand over their hard-earned, plus p

Unloved by many it may be, but Forty Licks has justified its re-release, at least in chart terms, by remaining on the Billboard 200 for a second week. On the chart just issued Forty Licks is at No.81, a fall of twenty places. But the fact it is there at all is quite surprising. Frankly I thought it MIGHT pop onto the chart for a week before disappearing again. Possibly forever. I appreciate

To my amazement, and delight, Forty Licks has actually clung on - at no. 74 - in the UK midweek update chart, published at 17.45 hours this afternoon. Before everyone starts telling me this means very little as the actual number of sales is tiny, I remain upbeat and very very happy that its still in there. Regardless of how many - or how few - sales it actually means. Regardless also of the disd

QuoteTaylor1 Quotegeorgelicks QuoteNilsHolgersson Blue & Lonesome was a #1 album in the UK though, I'm sure an album of new material will be #1 for all that's still worth. It all depends on the week of release and the competition, in England it is easier to be #1 but in the United States any rapper throws you an album out of the blue with 25 songs on streaming and leaves you out o

Well Forty Licks has clung on to a chart placing in the UK for a second week. It's right there at No. 68 so sales will be minute. BUT it is a hit album (again) and it keeps The Stones name alive in a chart sense. I know I am very trainspotterish about all this, but, hey, how many other bands who have remained fully active for SIXTY years can do this? Way to go guys!

Well, old West German London hot Rocks 1&2 from 1985 too, but for different reasons - wide stereo mixes, flat transfers (and all that MFSL mystery). I absolutely agree about Rolled Gold. It's about as terrific an overview of those DECCA years as one could

Quotepeoplewitheyes Interesting choice of quote from Keith to post on the RS official FB page: "One of the great luxuries of the Stones is we have an enormous, great big can of stuff. I mean what anybody hears is just the tip of an iceberg, you know. And down there are vaults of stuff. But you have to have the patience and the time to actually sift through it." - Keith Richards

Earlier in this thread I said that Forty Licks had entered the UK Midweek Chart at No.20. However, midweek chart placings are not utilised in either computing or assessing chart history. Only the full chart week placings are used for that. The full week chart for the UK has just now been posted, and Forty Licks is in there at no. 39. As I suspected, sales tapered off as the week progressed. Ne

The UK Midweek Album Chart Update was published at 17.45 hours (UK time) this afternoon, and Forty Licks has re-entered that chart at No. 20. Always great to see the band somewhere - anywhere - in the charts. I appreciate that charts are no longer relevant in the way they once were. But they are still the only game in town when attempting to quantify the success of performers and albums. Of cours

I remember Gary Puckett - and The Union Gap - very well indeed. Young Girl was a massive hit back home in the summer of '68. And I remember two other of his hits especially clearly too. Smaller hits for sure, but certainly played regularly on the radio. They were Lady willpower, which was his follow up to Young Girl, and Woman, Woman, which preceeded YG, but was re-released after LW to cash

QuoteStoneage If it takes them 18 years to put out a new album I think it's wishful thinking to see them continue working in the studio producing new songs. In fact a new tour is more probable than that. That is more back to normal. If they continue making new music it will, most probably, be on their own. Most certainly so in Jagger's case.
