@paulywaul I completely agree with you. To the others: Quit being so negative. I'm rather happy with the releases and I look forward to having a good audio version of "Through the lonely nights". If you don't want it, don't buy it. I spent a fortune on stones CDs cause I like the music. If you don't want to do this, don't do it.

Well, I think it's a decent collection and it makes me pretty happy. The Fancy Man blues and the Cook Cook Blues are not on it, but they have been released on CD ( on "Another side of steel wheels" ) and the choice of Wish I'd never met you is fantastic. I lost the terrifying single. Indeed the one killer track "Think I'm going mad" is missing. Hey, you can

The collection will be sold through traditional retail and Starbucks. The japa

Right, I've been going through this thread again with the many claims. Maverick says first that he works in the booking industry. Then on Aug 17 he says that he knows because a friend of his works in the booking industry. As for having heard ABB before it came out. He first claimed having a torrent with 20 tracks, then he claims having a promo CD with 11 tracks. Did any such promo e

Saw him twice in the late eighties in Amsterdam. Still one of my fondest concert memories. The guy was just sitting there behind his piano. Nothing else. Sitting there in a suit with a big colored necklace. He just played the piano. And everybody went wildly enthusiastic. I should buy some more of his CDs. If you have a chance to see him, it's great.

Yep, This was inevitable. You can wait for it to show up in CD stores here in Japan. It'll be labelled "Swingin' pig" or "Sister Morphine" or whatever. I think there is nothing much you can do about it. For the cover they'll probably steal great pics people on the forums here made. There's a lot of unpleasant people around in this world.

Mick indeed wanted YaYa's to be double. He wanted the opening acts ( Ike & Tina turner I believe ) on the first CD. He says it's great stuff, and that he has pressings of the thing somewhere in his home. Never heard about the story "smith" writes. The reason YaYa's wasn't double was, according to Mick, that the record company felt the opening acts were too unknow

Try With the program there you can decode the FLAC files in WAV files. Afterwards you can burn the files easily. I used the tool with linux, but it should work for windows as well. Save the tools in the same directory as where you keep the FLAC files Then run "cmd". Go with "cd C:\directory\where\columbus\is" to that directory. And run something like "flac -d trk

Yes it's a memory card stick that's $50 or so. It's waiting to be hacked. A complete nonsense idea from the record industry. Apparently you also buy with that the right to download a few more tracks from SG TY or ER to your stick. In the end instead of CDs you'll have sticks, lots of them. You'll have to buy everything anew. Then they will rerelease all sticks with the or

This is most debated issue on the board. Somebody said go and listen to the Mayall 2003 2CD from his 70th birthday. There's Taylor on there and he's pretty good. The whole 2CD set is worth buying. Its a fine blues record. I won't sign the petition though after having heard "Sway". That's a lot better then what I heard Wood doing on Live Licks in CYHMK. I found tha

Well that list would be hard to complete. I've heard that 191 countries are in the UN. So from more than half of the world there are people here. That's quite impressive. I did not know there were so many around here. And if anything that list has probably only become longer since it was last compiled in 2002.

@stonedmike OK, it's from Jagger's 1993 solo album. I think the song is called "Don't tear me up" So strictly speaking it's not a stones song.
