New Goats Head Soup


So this has a DR on the main CD of 4-7. Not even going to bother. Doesn't matter what else they may have done. For me it's toast.

It's pretty well known that most Stones albums are fairly dire SQ wise.
All I can tell you is that this version in Qobuz hires sounds better than most.
A DR of 4-7 is simply a waste. Thanks for the head’s up and for saving me a couple of sawbucks.
Disk 3 of this new release is great. 

My Stones remixes from the early 90's were some of my best digital disks. I think it was the Virgin Remasters.
Here’s the DR on a few other GHS in my collection.

1994 Virgin remaster: 11 (10-12)
1986 CBS: 11 (10-11)
2009 UMG: 6 (5-7)
2013 HR Cutting (continuing from the 2002 ABKCO remaster program): 10 (9-11)

Bear in mind I’m only talking about DR not overall SQ. But to me low DR = bad sound.

Also the 2009 UMGs (for all releases) are generally thought to be the worst overall sounding of all the RS remastering programs.
