Just purchased my Solme girls super deluxe on ebay for £30. Sealed copy. A good price for an disappointment boxset

These box sets seem to be generally underwhelming. I wasn't much of a fan of the Exile and Ya-Ya's boxes either, but they were better than Some Girls. They also seem to make tons of them, so if you can wait a year or so, you can pick em up cheap.

I fail to see why this was a missed oportunity. I think the box set is great.
It was cool getting the vinyl single of Beast Of Burden and When The Whip Comes Down as well.
Mick is smart. If there is demand, he will surely make a SG deLuxe pt. 2, with some more re-worked outtakes.

Makes perfect sense: Their second worst LP ever followed by Jumpin' Jack Flash and then Beggars Banquet.

I was disappointed in the "bonus" songs on the SOME GIRLS reissue (because I have better bootlegs), but I'm so in love with DOOM AND GLOOM and ONE MORE SHOT I wonder if their quality is partly due to the Stones having revisited with each other in the studio to "polish up" the bonus songs on both the SOME GIRLS and EXILE reissues. Maybe their chemistry with each other was a little closer to the surface than it would have been.

Funny! I'm listening to the bonus album right now on vinyl, and this thread pops up again all of a sudden
No doubt about it, this release is the best of the best - with the CIMD box as a close second

You can get the bonus disk on vinyl ? I'd missed that !
Where from ?

If there is any disappointment, then it probably is not with what's there, it is with what's missing. One gets the feeling that the Stones keep some stuff for further "anniversary super deluxe" editions in the years to come. Whatever one may think of certain outtakes like Fiji Jim, I Need You, Misty Roads and others, not including the 12" version of Miss You and Everything Is Turning To Gold is not understandable as these tracks were actually released back then. Same thing with Exile On Main St. Blues from the NME flexi for the exile deluxe edition, not a truly essential track, but an omission that hurts nonetheless because this track is so closely connected to the album, truly enjoyable and a flexidisc noise-free version from the master tape such an obvious choice under normal circumstances.

Both the long MY version and Everything Is Turning To Gold are officially released. That might have something to do with it. Those, and Too Young, would have been too much?
I don't miss those other songs that much, to be honest. But we're used to listening to hours of great music on the Pathe Marconi Sessions, and one album of that stuff might feel a little truncated, I agree in general...

Yes, MY long version and Everything Is Turning To Gold are officially released, but are they still officially available other than as mp3 downloads? Of course, I already own them and whenever I want to listen to them, I could do so with a snap of my fingertips. But there's still this "having everything together in one place"-desire when I think of expensive "Superdeluxe"-packages.
Anyways, considering the fact that for decades the Stones archives were tightly closed, one should be grateful for any "escapes" from the vaults! Something is indeed better than nothing.

I thought (and still think) that the bonus CD was the best Stones album in years, I play it all the time, unlike, say, ABB.
