How often do you listen to the unfinished Waiting On A Friend from the GHS sessions? And how often to the finished version on Tattoo You?

Ok..When people say that I dont undrrstand the thought process..Just let me say that the Stones have been doing this for years. Parts of Black N Blue along with Tatoo You were all recorded earlier and then overdubbed later..and in the case of Tatoo You Much Later. I dont like the overdub idea either but its nothing new.

it's nothing new, but it's different in this case. they are releasing these exile outtakes as historical documents. sure, artists find old songs in the can all the time and then overdub or tweak them in order to make them presentable on a new album. but we are getting a collection of songs that are being presented as outtakes. we all know that. when "tattoo you" came out, it wasn't called "some new songs plus old bits and pieces that we've strung together to make new songs for you". they released it as a new album with the idea to the general public being that these are "new" songs. sure, these "new" exile songs might sound good, they might not, but morally, adding new sounds to old recordings that you are presenting as "outtakes" just doesn't sit right with me.

He just put things in that he had to leave out because the technology wasn't there at the time to do it. That's not what this is about. While I DID have a slight cringe factor with new recordings being done, the idea that they felt motivated enough to actually finish the tracks that they did mess with shows that there was some interest. Which says a lot actually. Besides, who really cares? They haven't messed with any original recordings from any albums yet alone Exile.
And no one - NO ONE, not one, not one person, has heard any of it yet. For all we know, the mixing of the touched up tracks may have been been done sonically the same as what the album and the other untouched finished tracks sound like. You might not even be able to tell.

it's not a good point at all - the time-lapse here makes it a bad point...

In theory, StonesTod, in theory.
After all, we are discussing something that noone of us has ever heard so far.

I like that they decided to finish the songs would have been pointless to officially release half-finished songs

Are they really presenting them as "outtakes"? Or is it just our projection because we cant think outside this "official release-outtake" scenario we grew up with in all these official release vs. bootleg outtake years?
So far I am only able to detect that they present the new material as a "bonus disc".
