This discussions highlights the big gap that exists between exciting music and well recorded crapolla. That’s if you buy into the proposition that the Stones were not well recorded, which I actually don’t. You need look no further for proof than their DSD CDs.
Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"?
Before I became a snobby audiophile I loved the Rolling Stones. But as my system grew and I discovered all kinds of sounds in recordings (CD as well as Vinyl) that I had never heard before and the openness and depth of soundstage that was a wonder, I never had that same Wow moment with the Stones recordings. Actually the best sound I have found came from the Hot Rocks double LP. Has anyone else had a better experience with their recordings? Having gone through so many remasters, nothing seems to have changed. Sticky Fingers should be something better than we get. The opening riff of Brown Sugar has always seemed so muddy. My rant, any thoughts?

Kinda agree except for Honky Tonk Women by The New Barbarians |
The Stones SACDs are amazingly good. As I recall, this collection used whatever masters were available (some were and are just plain missing) and other sources that were as close as ABKO could get. Agree that Tattoo You, Some Girls, Black and Blue and Emotional Rescue on original vinyl are also excellent as is the Stripped cd and expanded Stripped vinyl. |
