I purchased both "Hot Rocks","Beggar's Banquet","Let It Bleed","Satanic Majesties", and "Metamorphosis".
I do not have SACD, but got the 2-CD sets for 24.99 and the singles for 13.99, and was able to use a 15% off total purchase coupon from Borders at Best Buy. Many stores did not get all 22 copies.
The sound quality is fantastic. I no longer need to turn my volume to the 1:00 position to hear "Gimme Shelter". There is actually some bass on these CDs. Given that the material is from the mid-sixties, it's pretty exciting. If the redbook is this good, the SACD must rule. (I've got a Cary 306, I'd like to compare it to a mid-level SACD.)
The verdict is: For the price, you must have "the essentials (Hot Rocks I)" at the very least. If you're a certified fan, all are reccomended.
