I bought the London Years collection on SACD/CD.
For those not aware this is the triple CD set basically all the Stones singles(A &B sides) up to Sympathy For The Devil.
I'm not going to get into the SACD debate at this stage,my machine is running in still and I'm awaiting new software,I will follow this up at a later date.
What is clear is the remastering job is a step up from the last CD release, which I have.
What is also clear is that nothing will save the likes of Street Fighting Man which is basically an awful recording at source,there are a few others like this.
However the average and great recordings have never sounded better on CD so from that point of view it really does make these re-issues very worthwhile.
