STONES FLOG "NEW" EXILE FIRST ON DOWNLOAD, SECOND ON CDs & SUCH

A rip-off joint?

If you are a Rolling Stones fan-and probably even if you ain't-you may have heard about the Stones' iconic Exile On Main St. being reissued with loads 'o' goodies on

May 18.

-

The folks who choose the "Deluxe Edition" of Exile, a two CD set, will be treated to 10 bonus tracks from the Exile sessions, and a DVD.

-

But heer's the deal: as of May 2: Neither Amazon.com, or Barnes and Noble have any sound samples from the "new" Exile.

-

Despite the fact the Stones have three-count 'em-CD variations of

Exile coming out on May 18, the only place you will find any 30

second tastes of the bonus tracks come via i-Tunes.

-

And when you see what the Stones are doing with their website-heavy duty product shilling-then one wonders where Mick Jagger thinks the sales bread and butter will be.

-

Perhaps Mick is just taking the CD buyers for granted, but in any event, it don't, as they say, look too good.

-

Mr. Jagger; most of the folks on the Internet steal your music, not buy

it.

COOL before the Stones:
