I hope the album is out before the tour starts. Voodoo Lounge came out 2 weeks before the tour started. Because of that The Stones had the confidence to play 7 songs from it on opening night. I didn't see a show until 7-8 weeks into the tour, but they still played 5 songs from the album. Bridges came out after the tour started. They atarted out playing 2 new songs, and it took them a while to work up to 4-5 a night. I wanna hear the new songs live. It helps keep the setlist fresh, and it's a twist from the Licks tour, which didn't have new songs aside from Don't Stop. |

If we get luck the album will be comming on Aug. 22, but I'm sure that it will be leaked on internet in early August. |

I was unable to get hold of Ove, so I got info from another source due to some detective work who was present, so here it goes:
11 raw mixes out of 18 recorded tracks were played.
With raw mixes it is meant there is some additional mixing to do. It was not said if all 18 tracks would be on the album. If I heard correctly, there might be some more songs recorded.
No Chuck, Darryl on only a few numbers, bass being handled by Mick and Keith. Plenty of harmonica, slide and maracas (spelling?).
No hornsection heard at all, no backupsingers. This might change of course, but letīs hope not.
ONNYA different from the liveversion, itīs said it was not finished when they played it live. Absolutely no material from the 40 LICKS sessions. 2 ballads, one Mick, one Keith, the rest rockers except 1 funky song in the style of Dance.pt1/Miss You.
1 political song, as it seemed aimed at the Bushadministration but donīt take my word for it.
The motto, it was said for these recordingsessions, was that it was to be "A bandrecord, the four of them".
As for the albumtitle, it was said that it might be one of those circulated on the net, then it might not be, so no answer to that question really.
No Stone present, as they all seem to be in the US right now. A bandrepresentative was MC at the listening party. All participants had to sign a contract of secrecy.
I hope to get some additional info, but right now, all participants are bound by their contract, and no Ove in sight, but he would not be able to tell me more at this point, .
As for the releasedate first half of September still stands until further notice.

18 tracks?
Why not 2 more and we get a double album? |

I bet -- I hope -- they pare it down from 18. |

18 tracks is probably the number of finished tracks on the 'shortlist'. they'll probably end up ditching some or using them as b-sides.
sounds interesting on many levels although I'm a bit bewildered at the reported lack of keyboards - unless some of the Stones themselves are tinkling the ivories
Disappointing if the release date is as late as September. Bad move, and sloppy planning there.

If it sucks, I agree. Nevertheless, "Undercover Of The Night" was pretty good, IMO; J. J. Cale's "The Trouble (is the man in charge)" was excellent; R.E.M.'s "The Final Straw" (about Bush, some people say) wasn't so bad. I think it depends on the adequateness of the music and the performance.
"Highwire" wasn't too hot; "Indian Girl" was gross (yet funny); and I guess that "Rock And A Hard Place" could be considered a political song, and it was a decent rocker. Come to think of it, it was one of the better songs off SW. The thing is, I don't care too much about the lyrics (unless Jagger comes with something utterly dumb or pretentious) as long as the music is fine. |

I think you're 18 tracks info. is spot on! A few will be utilized as B-sides for singles releases, a couple will be likely tossed, with the album itself consisting of 12 or 13 tracks.
I'm not saying anymore than that though, as my "I hear good things" post got me in all kinds of trouble with my L.A. friend who works at the Virgin offices. They left quite a terse email message regarding my post and now they won't tell me anything!
(But that just makes me think something is about to break real soon - yeah baby! And, it confirms that some folks, at least in this case, who are on the inside of the biz, do peruse music boards like this from time to time. Maybe all the complaining about Chuck's fucking piano will pay off! God let us hope so.) |

Sounds enticing. What about high ticket prices? |

undercover is exellent and indian girl is a missunderstood gem.
but its all subjective mr. pleasant...
agree - if its pretentious or cheesy, forget it...
but if it righteously kicks somebody's ass (bush?)- then it kicks ass and i will welcome the return of some great jagger political observation. |

Highwire was pure genius. And very apt for the times, and now i guess.
Trouble was, people just didnt want to hear it.
The facts, i mean. |

Will the announcement for the CD release be July 4th? That's only a few days away. They must know how many tracts - 18 sounds good to me. They will hopefully release it by the time the tour starts so we can learn the songs.
On the B2B tour OUT OF CONTROL & SAINT OF ME were so much BETTER live than on the CD, you appreciate the STONES playing the new songs live. The songs actually come alive!! Let's hope for alot of the new songs ON STAGE, as we are so familiar with the old "war horses" the new fresh material makes it much, more exciting. |

Wow, it looks like we're going to get some sloppy playing on there, great !
I'm not surprised that Chuck was uninvited, they only drag him in for the tour so that they can slack off and forget lines and licks, but It's pretty obivous they despise the guy. Pretty much the same goes for Darryl, his playing is so uninteresting that there's no point gettng him for the studio.
The real novelty here would be Mick on bass ! I don't think he's ever been credited with bass playing on an album before.
Now WHO recorded that listening party ?! Which reminds me, did that Ronnie show ever get circulated ? |

You're right, he never got a credit for bass even in his solo records. |

my fan boy enthusiasm says "wow! could this be true" but my gut instict tells me to beware of false prophets and pre-album/tour bullshit
guess we'll find out shortly
nice to hear that they got wise to ONNYA, but it's gonna need a major overhaul to redeem it, especially in the lyrics dept. |

I reject being called a false prophet.
I am not known to be a liar, and I donīt fuck around with Nordic Stones Vikings reputation. |

Of course Chuck Leavell is on the album. Apparently he spent a week in the studio adding parts to it |

Well that's my opinion and you are certainly entitled to have yours, I (and a few others here) happen to think that, unlike Bill's (just listen to the 1981 tour tapes), Darryl's bass playing is boring, whether he's the "best bass player alive" does not having any bearing with this, right ?
As for Chuck I don't believe he was invited for the B2B sessions so that wouldn't be a first if he missed out on this one too...here's hoping ! |
