This set was obtained on Usenet in the spring of 2002. I did work to correct the pitch and phase then (before RMW existed), and reposted it on June 17th. It's not too likely you've got those kicking around in your collection, but if you do, you can retire them now! Back then, it was not feasible to correct the phase of stereo recordings, so those remained out-of-phase. They are all fixed on this edition, which was redone from scratch from archived .ape files.
With modern technology, I was able to fix the spot in the middle of "Gimme Shelter" (Disc 3, track 3) where it suddenly sped up by a semitone. The fluctuations have been ironed out as flat as possible, so that you may not even notice that it was ever in need of fixing.
Three tracks are added to fill out the short running time on discs 3 and 4. One is not an outtake - it is an OOPS mix of "Honky Tonk Women" that features mainly Keef playing his immortal guitar part, Mick Taylor's complementary leads, Ian Stewart's piano, and the horn section. I discovered it after correcting the phase, and thought, "this is so cool, somebody must want to hear it!" If you ever wanted to learn exactly what Keith is playing, here's your chance! If you do not want this track, it can be discarded and there will be no sector boundary errors
