Quotestonesrule How do you feel about the albums that have come since Hendrix death? I think that none of the posthumous Hendrix releases are up to the standard of the material he released when alive. This includes The Cry Of Love. In fact, I always wondered if Jimi's death was somehow connected to what looks to me as an artistic burnout.

They did tour quite recently, around 2008. (Sans Baker. Grech is dead of course.) A DVD, Blue Ray and double CD was released, very interesting stuff.

Belgian beer is the best! (I'm neutral, I'm a Norwegian) Try Leffe Blonde or Leffe Brune, both excellent. These days there are literally thousands of very good microbreweries around. This is a very good Norwegian one :

QuoteCome On Brilliant album that I bought on CD around -92....They didn't sell Stones Decca US-LPs in Sweden during the 60ies except for 'Out of Our heads' for some strange reason....

An unusual list but not without merit. I notice that you have Streets Of Love in a decent position! One of my favourites on the third disc of Grrr. Don't understand the criticism it is getting here.

Hmmmm....interesting. iorr is actually the first Stones single I thought was just so-so. Too sing-along-y! A little Slade-ish ! My choice for worst ever song : We are the champions.

I'm afraid the value is not so great, because you do not have the first pressings.I checked my Rolling Stones no. 2 and Around and Around (they are first pressings) and they look different. I did not check the others, but I'm sure Through the past is not a first pressing (it does not have the octagonal cover). There is an enormous price difference between first pressings and later. A f

Yes of course. She had the first released version of "The first cut is the deepest", before Cat Stevens recorded it himself. Hers is the definite version. Also the first released version of "Bury me down by the river", the Bee Gees song. Great again. Her two Immediate albums "Kafunta" and "The first lady of Immediate" are also very good.

There are many Stones (and solo) songs scattered on singles, compilations, bonus discs and live records that I play too seldom. So I decided to make a "best of" compilation that I hopefully will play. I chose 36 songs. They would probably have fit on 2 CDs, but I used 3 to make them more LP like. Everything is post Decca and nothing is on a regular record. Here they are: CD1: 1. Do
