Their Stones release is a mixture of live tracks from the Voodoo Lounge tour, recorded for inclusion on the ‘Stripped’ tour souvenir LP. “The Essential Stripped Tracks” is more of a pirate than a boot mixing some officially released tracks with the Japanese studio sessions – It’ll be interesting to see how IMP might have fixed the sound.

The Dn’C release “Can’t Find Love” is the IORR download compilation, refigured – the sound was good enough already, the tracks seem to have been ordered a little more chronologically and squeezed down to two disks.
