Main Offender Too bad you had to spend the money. In America I taped all five parts off the TV. It's pretty good.

Not worth spending money on ( I just re-read your post)but worth taping from the TV. Many interviews with Bernard, Blondie etc. Not much talking from the Stones. I'd wait for it to rerun on TV and get it for 'free'!

exilestones@netscape I enjoyed Just for The Record. There were many great interviews which gave some great insight in to the Stones. I found it worth the money and I got it cheap on e-bay.

I'll second that.
I was not expecting the Stones as I had read the infos before. Just like I enjoyed reading A.E Hotchner's "Blown Away", these 5 CDs just complete the picture...

So, given you know about the above, I'll dare to recommend these. Ok, I mean this in the sense as some completetists by their 132nd version of Satisfaction ... :-)) which I would never do, but, well, some do.

These 5 DVDs, on the other hand, are much more entertaining, I find.

No Stones on there, of cause, because of the tight copyrights.

cheers,
