Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary (RS50?)

[SatansFuton]

Pre-ordered Checkerboard Lounge today.

Also found a good deal on "Rarities 1971-2003".



I've never owned it (I think it was just released through Starbucks or something) and in recent years when I've looked for a copy it's always been like $100 or something like that, since it's out of print. It has a few good tracks on it, but nothing I'd pay $100 for.

Archive #4 has been released. It's not Toronto 2005. It's Tokyo 1990, from the Steel Wheels Tour. I've never heard the show (downloading it now) but it's supposed to be a really good show, pretty heavily bootlegged on DVD and CD for years.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I"d like to see more Mick Taylor era shows myself.

Yeah, me too. There's still two more Archive releases coming, and who knows, maybe more, so there is more opportunity. At least we got Brussels Affair. And a couple of years ago the box set release of Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out, which is worth it if you don't have it. That crazy awesome version of Satisfaction is worth the price alone. Great demonstration of Taylor's rhythm skill (I find his rhythm playing more impressive than his VERY IMPRESSIVE lead ability), then of course later in the song he takes over and noodles like a mad man.

I'm hoping for a complete 1969 show, or a complete 1972 show. And while I would like a Brian Jones era show for posterity's sake, and because the only live document of that era is the sub-par Got Live If You Want It, I wouldn't be nearly as excited as a Taylor era show. Brian had a lot going on. Charisma, leadership, style, etc. But he wasn't the greatest guitar player.

Downloading it now. I'm liking it so far. Never get sick of hearing the same songs all the time. How's the Muddy Waters Chicago show?

I haven't heard it yet. I pre-ordered it, but it hasn't shipped yet. Even though the official release date was yesterday.

It appears all month long the BBC Radio 6 is going to be putting up Stones concerts, interviews and other stuff. Right now they have the Leeds '71 show up. I've been hoping for this as one of the Archive series. And while this sounds pretty good, it could use with a bit more cleaning up and mixing.

It would appear some of the tracks are out of order though. Or at least in a different order than the "Get Your Leeds Lungs Out" bootleg tracklisting.

Thanks. I wonder where they will play?

Suntory, a Japanese distillery, is releasing a series of whiskey to commemorate the 50th Anniversary. Only 150 bottles are being produced, and expect to sell for around $6,000. The whiskey is a blend of different whiskey and grains, each coming from a milestone year in the band's career. A '62 Yamazaki from the year of the band's inception, a '71 Yamazaki for the year the tongue and lips logo was created, a '72 Yamazaki malt marking the release of "Exile On Main St." and a Hakushu malt from '90 commemorating the band's first trip to Japan.

And all in this swanky bottle...



That's all well and good. But why pay $6k for a bottle of Japanese whiskey when in reality the Stones were Jack fans?

According to the daily news the stones will play 4 shows this November, 2 in London and 2 in Brooklyn.

Yes, to the best of my knowledge this has been proven as fact.

Also a few new releases.

1. A new compilation, for some reason titled "Grrr", with an equally confusing cover. It will include two new tracks that the band finished in August titled "Gloom And Doom" & "One Last Shot". It will be available in 4 formats.



a.) 50-track, 3-CD digipak with 24-page booklet
b.) 50-track, 3-CD box-set with 36-page hardcover book and 5 postcards
c.) 50-track, 5-12" vinyl boxset
d.) 80-track, 4-CD box-set with bonus CD, 7" vinyl, hardcover book, poster, and postcard

2. Brussels Affair - Live 1973 Box Set. A little too pricey for me (the boxes range from $750-$1500) for a recording I already own. It comes with the show on vinyl, a watch, and several other things, the more pricey ones are actually signed by Mick.



Description of $1500 "Art Edition"

Units available: 73

Limited-Edition Book, numbered and hand-signed by Mick Jagger, Michael Putland and Nick Kent.

Limited-Edition Silver Gelatin Print, hand-signed by the photographer, Michael Putland (only 73 available).

Album: 180-gram Triple-Vinyl Set of the complete Brussels concert.

Watch: ’70s-era “Tongue & Lips” Watch—Japan Seiko movement and stainless steel face with brass dial.

History: In 1973, the government of France banned the Rolling Stones from entering French territory because of various run-ins with the law—most of them occurring during summer of 1971, while the band members were in the South of France, recording one of their masterpieces, Exile on Main St. This was a blow to the Stones’ hordes of French fans, who would be shut out from experiencing the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World on their 1973 European Tour in support of the newly released Goats Head Soup. That October, the band organized a concert across the Belgian border in Brussels, and a local radio station chartered a bus to transport French fans to the now-historic gig.

All the sights and sounds from this historic show and tour have now been amassed for the first time in The Brussels Affair, the inaugural release from the Stones Archive. The package features an 180-gram triple-vinyl album and rare photographs from the Brussels show by Claude Gassian, as well a book documenting the entire 1973 European tour, with exclusive photographs from Michael Putland and a newly written text by acclaimed NME scribe Nick Kent.

Contributors: Michael Putland, Nick Kent, Claude Gassian

A friend of mine said that The Barclays only have 2 dates open in November(22nd & 26th i think).

You would have to think it would be announced SOON?( if this is to happen in November)

The Stones are releasing their 1964 Self-Titled EP for the Record Store Day Black Friday event.

Original cover, I'm guessing it will be pretty much the same thing.
