QuoteHowever, you figure that the money was made on bootlegs within a year or two of their release so they are already satisfied. ... which to some extent holds true with official releases as well, which is why I'm not a supporter of long copyright periods.

Quoteswimtothemoon Quotedrwatts Quotenellcote'71 An' I think I needah blood traaansfuuusion... This interview/video is a graphic reminder of how close, during the mid seventies, we were to losing Keith. For example, a big difference between Keith of 1974 and Keith of 1981. We can all thank Nils Lofgren for telling Keith to not go.

So finally got my GHS Deluxe and I gotta agree it's their best deluxe/outtakes project so far. Making a remix was a great idea, especially in place of a re-release of the original album. I always thought it was annoying that we had to buy Exile, SG and Sticky once more just to get the outtakes, and I've always thought they should do it like Dylan (and many others) and make a proper h

After hearing Scarlet a few times, I must say I quite like it. I agree it doesn't sound totally like a Stones song ... it has some very Stonesy elements, most of all the vocals and rhythm guitar, melody ... but the drums and bass aren't anywhere near Charlie and Bill. Maybe if they had put some reverb on the drums and make 'em sound more like on Slave or something from GHS it wo

Quotedcba Quoteexilestones Great pic! Btw... have you noticed the marks (more like craters) on Keef's arm? Those marks are probably from "skin popping" heroin (or cocaine), which is a way of injecting the drug into the outer tissues of the arm as opposed to intravenous use. Gives a slower high, and from what I've read can cause scars like that. Supposedly, Keith used to

It's an interesting song...does sound like a new Mick vocal, at least in the beginning. I agree that it's similar to Tops in the bridge. I'll definitely listen to this more. You Should Have Seen Her Ass deserves a release for sure, hopefully a good mix of it!

Agreed that Black And Blue and Emotional Rescue sound better than Some Girls. Funny, because Some Girls has better songs on it. I also agree that Tattoo You was done really well. It sounds great and has great songs on it. That's why I like it more than SG these days.

I agree that it's a cool band (I love their album) and a nice rendition of UMT, but I can see where the negativity is coming from too. Blind Faith never took off the way Clapton hoped for. Specifically on the day of the Hyde Park show, according to himself in his autobiography, Clapton was "out of it" because he was upset about the fact that Ginger took heroin before the show. (

That lovely Plundered My Soul video on youtube includes some great CS Blues (Robert Frank) footage that is not in the CS Blues movie, so apparently that was accessible to some extent. But who knows, Robert Frank may have been better than Rolling Stones Records (or whoever) at keeping his film rolls in shape.

As far as I recall from various sources, Keith was supposedly very sad after losing the guitars, but indeed, they probably didn't want to involve the police or authorities for obvious reasons (they had other more serious issues with the courts and all in '72 in the aftermath of the Nellcote period). Voluntarily walking into a police station wasn't exactly among Keith's routine

It's fun with the speculation and detective work, but all in all, the whole thing leaves me feeling a bit disappointed that the Stones and Abkco can't make better archive releases out of all this. Sure, many tracks we've heard before and many tracks are throw-away, but there's obviously plenty of stuff to make a few "bootleg series" releases á la Dylan or at least so
