The reissue, due out in the United States on May 18 and a day earlier internationally through Vivendi's Universal Music Group, will be supplemented by new tracks with such titles as "Plundered My Soul," "Dancing in the Light," "Following the River" and "Pass The Wine."

While the Stones have been widely bootlegged, the four disclosed titles appeared to be unknown to collectors. Alternate versions of the album tracks "Soul Survivor" and "Loving Cup" will also be included. A publicist said she did not have information on the other titles.

A friend of mine dropped by Don Was's recording studio and said what she heard was great.

Their 2009 Universal Music Group Remasters Series set the standard for "shitty" remasters 4sure. The Japan mini LP reissues and the MFSL remasters are much better. They need to dig up some unreleased tracks to add some life to another reissue of one of their old albums.

What is an MFSL remaster?

What is an MFSL remaster?

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab.

Company that makes first class 24 bit remasters of lots of albums. They use the original masters at half speed. The cd has a 24kt gold layer. Supposedly the gold provides a more reflective surface so the cd is better quality. The remastering is always good. Basically, they sell premium quality audiophile cds and they do sound better than the standard Capitol, Universal and the other studio's cheaply made mass produced issues. MFSL also makes some very nice heavy vinyl (180g, 200g) albums with their remastering.

Here is an example of the artwork for one of their albums.
