And in another opportunity for Stones collectors to whine and bitch (something they love to do), it seems that the Vinyl Gang label has been revived. Focusing upon updating their impressive and influential catalogue, the first release is a one disc title called They’re Really Rockin’ In Boston (VGP-020). This covers the July 18th, 1972 Boston show with the same cover as the old release and on a black VGP label. This is remastered over the old release which uses a different source than Jailhouse Rock (DAC-026) on Vinyl Gang’s other Stones label. Next week VGP will re-release Germany 1976 (VGP-023) and Rock ‘N’ Roll Animals (VGP-374).

Rereleases are not always bad Lordbud…..Some of these shows have been out of print for years so maybe it offers us all a chance to pick up some rare titles…As a big Stones fan and collector I am looking forward to these and hope they do some titles which have not seen silver disc release by other labels in a while..Just my opinion but it sure as hell beats the constant rereleasing of the same old shows like the two mentioned in the above news!!!……
Just what we needed! If any label knows all about reREreREleasing their own titles,
well, folks, VGP is the one. A really big one.
