I finally sat down to watch the newly restored "One Plus One"....Ouch. Major jerky panning issues, at least on the tight pans in the magazine store, not so much in the studio scenes. WTF? Transfer issue? The sound is dramatically improved, so there's that at least. And the extras are nice. Packaging also better than older edition.

I've never heard the "Actin Strong" boot, but this official Miami release definitely sounds better than the boot I had, the KTS "Miami Dice" release. Now my question to myself is, do I keep "Miami Dice" to have the historically accurate SFTD screw-up? . I already know I have to keep my VHS copy from the pay-per-view for the pre-show backstage interviews with t

QuoteStonedRambler There is a strange background sound on the whole CD when the band ia not playing and the audience sounds really phasey and weird. That happens on my "Tokyo Dome 1990 - From the Vault" CDs too.

I too am a little distracted by the shoddy work on the album cover, especially considering Ronnie has done such great work on other releases, not the least of which being his own "Not For Beginners" and "Live at the Ritz", as well as Clapton's "Crossroads" box set. I do like the idea that some of the proceeds go to 2120 S. Michigan Avenue, though.

Someone commented that the disappearance of Jagger's albums might be due to an impending re-issuing of his catalog, but referred to this possible conclusion as a "new remastering again". I still only have the CBS/Columbia editions of "She's the Boss" and "Primitive Cool" and the Atlantic "Wandering Spirit" and the Virgin "Goddess in the Do

QuoteRocky Dijon The Wall is symbolic of the mental block fans have in accepting these are men in their seventies. They want to contrast Mick's present creative drive with GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY, an album written and recorded when Mick was in his fifties. Think about that for a moment. Think of someone in their fifties vs. someone who is 75. Try and let that sink in. It does matter. They are

I got excited when I saw this, and then realized it was a book. Albeit, a fine looking and probably great book.

"Some Girls Deluxe" disc 2 is technically "new" (official) material from 2011 (with the exception of "So Young", though it's a new version I guess), so in that sense, it's kind of a "Tattoo You,Two" . That actually might be a good name for the 2nd disc if/when they ever do a "Tattoo You" deluxe. So 2011! Only 8 years! A stretch

I've never understood the appeal of KISS, facepaint or no facepaint. I suppose it's the spectacle of it all. Though their cover of "2000 Man" on their MTV Unplugged album a number of years ago (I think during the paintless era?) is interesting.

I keep my ticket stubs in plastic mylar pages (designed for sports cards) in a three ring binder. Overkill, some might say....but it's fun to page through once in a while. As for discarded stubs, someone once gave me their Chicago '81 stub, knowing I was a big fan. Maybe weird to have a stub to a show I never saw, (I didn't see them until '89) but....

Being completely obsessed with the Stones, I can't imagine watching such a film without some degree of "but they didn't do this" "but they didn't do that", etc.....though at the base level, there damn well better be an Ian Stewart, which is more than "Crossfire Hurricane" can say. Still urks me that he factors nowhere in that doc.

The transition happened over the course of my first show in November 1989. I went into it knowing only a few songs and by the end, as people were filing out of the stadium I stood staring at the stage as it was being loading out, thinking "I've got work to do"....and so the collection and obsession began to build. Now 21 shows and thousands and thousands of dollars later (and alo
