Got the Hot Rocks on both vinyl and CD. I used to be as you, not happy with my Stones recordings. So the issue, as I've discovered in my particular situation is not necessarily the quality of the recording but whether or not the system communicates the music over the quality or lack of the recording. This varies among listener's. So the real issue is getting those less than great recordings satisfy your musical mojo.
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?
