In Reply to: RE: Can the "ultimate" Rolling Stones remastered box be that far off, now, seeing posted by tinear on October 28, 2009 at 17:21:18
...it's a double CD called "Forty Licks" from 2002.
I read the Jimi Hendrix CDs will be remastered in 2010.
The Beatles first remasters in 22 years were a 4 to 5 year labor-of-love project that is not likely to be repeated.
A lot of repackaged stuff in box sets will be coming out in time for XMas, including a new Exile on Main Street, IIRC.
allegedly the Beatles one is.
The Stones oeuvre, remastered and properly packaged, would be a Platinum Mine. For one thing, its geometrically larger than the Fab Fours.....
...is that after Exile, every new album only had a couple of good songs on it.
And lots of filler no one cares about.
I'd give them the benefit of the doubt up to "Some Girls" and then include "Tattoo You" (some good left-overtures there... and Sonny Rollins!).
As LPs, not as strong as previous outings, but still pretty satisfying.
After that though, "Talk Is Cheap" is the closet thing to a real good Stones LP.
Basically their back catalog of great songs seems all that keeps them going, and is all their
live shows have to offer songwise, and I really think those live shows are all they're really interested in pursuing. New releases seem some reason (or excuse) to tour.
Their best songwriting days are decades behind them.
I'm sure the same could be said of the Beatles had they lasted so long, and released so much
material.
A statement release of re-mastered Stones material up to 1981 done with the care of
the Beatles box(es) would agree with me. I'd pity the poor SOB that had to organize that though.

...there is already a new 3-CD remastered box set of "Get Your Ya-Yas Out".
Did I mention I first saw them on this tour in 1969.
That's cool... best live Stones I've ever heard is the "Bedspring Symphony" bootleg release of a 1973 show.
Smokes most any other live stuff I've heard by them. I'd like to hear the expanded
Ya-Ya's though.
