Really looking forward to a new Blues Album by the Stones. Once it is released i must not compare it with Albums 1 and 2 plus the definitive Chess boot recordings from 1964 as these are exceptional with the vast majority of songs being cover versions. It would be totally unfair to expect the new release sound tracks to be as raw and mighty as the ones some 50 odd years ago. Pretty certain th

Blueranger it is better to be suspicious than moneyless as there have been many Stones record cons over the years. Thanks for your input plus Irix. I have been carefully looking through my Stones record collection and already have all listed songs in one form or another.

Yes Amazon.com is showing the label as ABKCO with ASIN: B01H2NU8DQ yet Amazon.co.uk is showing label as Commercial Marketing with ASIN: B01H2NU8DQ. This discrepency requires to be cleared up as it is clouding the adverts. However it is possible that this is a semi combination of the US and UK Mono LP's up to Let It Bleed where ABKCO , Polydor, Universal , Decca And London were all labels

Lets face it if it is not a financially viable proposition then Universal will not release a new CD product. This is pure business logic and one that even the Stones will have to agree with. Especially as poor sales would lead to the Stones being severely criticised by the pop critics as being old past it and almost irrelevent . Whether or not the Stones have actually written and recorded decen

Be careful as things shown on Amazon are not necessarily what they seem plus the high buying price does not mean that the product for sale is the real thing.

Many thanks to BV for updating the Stones rumoured recordings due in the near future.( nothing likely in 2016 ) BV always provides genuine information and he obviously does have insight in to what is actually going on within the Stones camp.

Thanks Georgelicks for your update which covers where they are with regard to a new album and its content. You would think that they will not release it before Cochella/Las Vegas in October.16 otherwise attendees might be expecting some new material to be played. Please keep updating re progress and possible release date as your info. is warmly received as to its accuracy.

Mick Jagger is attending the Euro football competition with his son Lucas to watch the England matches which start Saturday 11/6/16. This could last for 2 - 4 weeks which suggests that completing a new album is not a priority of Micks at the moment. Info. for this was provided by Lucas's mum Luciana in national newspaper 2 part article entitled Roll Model.

When I heard the opening strings of Lady Jane 29/11/12 at the O2 Arena I immediately wondered how they could replicate Brian's part in the song. I was amazed to find that Ronnie Wood's guitar playing sounded like a dulcimer or harp and he covered Brian's part in the song excellently. Ronnie once again showed that he is an excellent musician who unfortunately does not always r

The Totally Stripped deluxe edition has re-kindled my love affair for stones songs . Especially the numerous non warhorse songs they played at the three different locations now out on DVD.

Happy birthday Keith and thanks for Crosseyed Heart which I play in my car daily. Only managed 19 out of 20 as did not select Norah Jones. Now if only you and Mick can find the time and working relationship to create some really great Stones style songs for the 2016 album. One can wish for dreams to come true.

Many happy returns to the guy that started the rock and roll revolution with his duck walk and riff based songs that just made you want to get up and dance. His original style of song and chord structure has been often copied but never surpassed.

The U.K. version of Between the Buttons is a most underated album with the Jagger/Richard songwriting team exploring many varied avenues. 'Back Street Girl' is one of the most thoughful compositions fro Mick/Keith. The lyrics are sad,reflective and sung to nostalgic accordion,acoustic guitar and tambarine. 'Yesterday's Papers' opens with a very simple drum and bass

Starf---er is one of the most controversial songs by the Stones as it leaves nothing to the imagination re sex acts. This song is about groupies. Songwriters often write about subjects they're familiar with, and Mick Jagger was an expert in this area. Originally, this was called "Starf--ker," which is slang for a groupie. Atlantic Records made them change it, eliminating

Yes with sssoul there are at least 5/6 possible explanations to the troubadour line and the right one has yet to be identified. The only guy who knows is Mick and perhaps one day soon when asked again he will finally explain what it means. There is of course the chance that this was just one of Micks lines that just fitted in with the song lyric flow but really meant not a lot and we know that

Well my head is a buzz with trying to provide a logical explanation but one more try - The line "And I laid traps for troubadours who get killed before they reach Bombay" possibly refers to the notorious Thuggee cult, who worshiped Kali, the Hindu goddess of death. They would waylay travelers on the roads of India, then kill the entire group in order to make off with their valuables.
