... and more importantly, what about Keith's three dynamire riffs? Seriously now: it's hard to believe these five songs are the only songs they came up with over the past couple of years and all those earlier sessions were spent watching cricket matches.

Guys, we should be grateful to discuss only Stones albums and not Zappa albums.There we have live basic tracks reworked in the studio, studio tracks combined with live parts, songs with a solo recorded many years earlier, albums made up of songs from several dfferent periods, and then Zappa's frequent recycling of ideas. We'd go crazy ...

QuoteHMS If you havn´t got such details you could be easily fooled - as in case of TY. For the longest time people (including me) thought of TY as one of their best studio-albums, better than SG and ER - but that isn´t true, in fact some of the best tracks are from a very different period, played by a different line-up. Well, even when TY was released they repeatedly said in interviews that th

If it's unreleased material - as was the case with TY - I don't really care if a song was written one month before the release or 10 years. I also don't care if there was a sketch of a song years back that's only been fleshed out later. What I care about is whether I like the song or not. Same deal with the work-hopefully-in-progress.

Quotebv New songs means songs most Stones fans have never experienced live. OK, so that sounds like rarities rather than new originals off the work in progress. I wouldn't complain either. As for rehearsals, it appears they always rehearse a bunch of songs that won't make it into an actual setlist. Thinking of tapes from rehearsals from the 1990s - there was a 4 CD set, can't

Quotemickschix It's nice to hear Keith admitting his appreciation for Mick's role as FRONT MAN....finally...look what it took for him to show appropriate appreciation. Keith does so for about 30 years now, since his first Winos tour. "Finally" is a bit out of place here.

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 What about Keith calculating the market? This song is practically a Jagger solo venture. In an interview back when the album (Undercover) came out one of the Glimmers said that Too Much Blood was created spontaneously in the studio when jamming. (I remember something like, took us 20 minutes.) So possibly not really a full Jagger solo venture.

I wouldn't copmpletely rule out the possibility that a few artists/groups, who can afford it and know their material well enough not to waste miles of tape in endless sessions may still record and master fully on analogue tape, but they are certainly few but not many.

I guess that usually, if you have a record deal for an album and it came with an advance payment you also have a deadline for delivering the product. So, if the Stones are not under pressure (at least, it looks like they're under no legal pressure to deliver something anytime soon) they possibly simply don't have that kind of deal. Suppose they were legally forced to deliver the album s
