I get what you mean now as well. As for TATTOO YOU, I agree since a great deal of overdubbing occurred, not just refreshed mixes. I seem to remember an interview with Jagger (it might be CREEM again) where they refer to Kimsey and Clearmountain getting the same sound as the Miss You 12" where the tracks sound like they're mixed with cocaine in the grooves of the vinyl. Jagger seemed to

I don't think this was a press release. USA Today just picked up on the French news story and rehashed it. This will bring it to more attention in the States, but it doesn't change the fact that Charlie's comments were off the cuff and the media are treating it as An Announcement when it amounts to very little. I think Charlie cancelling gigs in November is more telling than anythi

The credit on the TATTOO YOU LP sleeve is for re-mixing the same on IORR's sleeve for "Fingerprint File." I believe the reason is because they utilized a different engineer than who originally mixed the track as with Glyn Johns on "Fingerprint File" and the entire TATTOO YOU project.

Charlie saying "If we tour, it will be next year or the year after" and that they can't plan further ahead than a couple years hardly counts as an announcement. Must be a slow day at USA Today.

Perhaps the only time that I've disagreed with Skipstone: remixing doesn't require a track be released first, only that it have been mixed previously and then remixed. You'll see that credit for "Fingerprint File" on IORR as well as remix credits for the entire TATTOO YOU album. Incidentally, I don't know for sure that "Summer Romance" on EMOTIONAL

The RCA session following the 1978 tour is also where "The Harder They Come" was cut for the B-side of "Run, Rudolph, Run" and where the King Biscuit Flower Hour recordings of the 1978 tour were mixed.

Summer Romance and Where the Boys Go were both originally cut for SOME GIRLS but later reworked. The sessions in Compass Point were January-February 1979 with Pathe-Marconi over the summer and Atlantic Records in New York in the Fall. Last minute tinkering was done at Atlantic Records in the spring of 1980 leading up to the June release.

Keith firing and Brian subsequently hiring Keylock is not so odd. Look at the Stones warning the Beatles away from Klein yet they still went. While there was no claim of unethical behavior, Mick fired Jane Rose and Keith subsequently hired her. Those things are common. Sometimes its a power play and other times its just poor judgement. Girlfriends, hangers-on, employees were all shared. Chuch was

Believe me if you saw me, you wouldn't be offended by the Twinkies joke. I look like Taylor's twin brother - except Taylor still has his hair. The car stuff was meant to be funny.

What's the hurry, MLC? One of these days everything will be taken care of in a nice, non-confrontational way. Bwhahahahahaha!

Again, MLC despite my abrasive humor and generally unlikable personality, the only point I was trying to make is that Mick Taylor would not be dumb enough to get taken for a ride again. Once can happen to anyone especially when you're starstruck and think you're among friends. Now since you have a connection to Mr. Taylor - seriously, we'd all like to see him get what he deserv

Non-confrontational is fine. That being said, I wouldn't call letting yourself being ripped off for millions for several decades to be non-confrontational nor would I call that resolving the situation "his way."

MLC, you're missing my point: I don't believe what you state to be fact. Nothing against you, but let's look at what you just posted.

If that is so, yes MICK TAYLOR IS AN IDIOT. I'm sure you'

MLC, I think Taylor is amazingly talented and worthy of greater success. He's a musician, not a business man. I believe he could benefit from a better manager who could help his career more. That's not me. It's not any of my relatives or friends. It's just an observation. As for the situation with the Stones, I don't have any insider knowledge. I believe it has to be

Mick has said before he views creating new music and performing as two very different things. The only correlation of album and tour is that without the tour, they sell less albums. The album title becomes the tour concept. That's why we haven't had a title track for a Stones album since DIRTY WORK. The concept is too important to stage design and market branding to risk tying it to a s

Ronnie has said repeatedly that the only way to insure songwriting credit is to demand it up front.

Sales have fallen off, but it's all relative. Every album since TATTOO YOU has been a commercial disappointment for what came before. Yet compare those same sales figures to many of their contemporaries (The Kinks being a perfect example) and they would have killed to sell what UNDERCOVER or DIRTY WORK or any of the other releases sold. The same is true today with the diminishing returns in

"Till the Next Goodbye" aired on DON KIRSHNER'S ROCK CONCERT the same week as "Ain't Too Proud To Beg."

I know the accepted story is Keith overdubbed his parts in the studio months later and wiped a

I know I should know better, MCDDTLC but let's look at this once more. The Stones stop paying Taylor in 1981 or thereabouts. He goes through some bad times trying to make a living as a working musician over the next 30 years. He still shows up to play with Keith on TALK IS CHEAP. He still shows up to play on "Plundered My Soul" when Jagger calls. And they still don&#

Some of what you describe, Spud is evident as far back as AT THE MAX. There's a world of a difference between Keith's playing on the Winos tours and with the Stones for the past 21 years. The Winos, like the Barbarians before them, were alternately brilliant and sloppy, but Keith was always fully engaged. The Stones onstage since 1989 now have two front men. Keith's playing app
