Megasam: Amazing coincidence! It was yesterday when I was buying the Tom Petty Anthology that I noticed the R.S. remasters. I listened to disc one of TP last night and it sounds superb.
Kira, it so dissappointing that the Stones 60s material was remastered so badly by ABKCO, like "hot rocks" 2 CD collection. I realize that the master tapes limit what can be done, but the Beatles material from the same period remastered by Abbey Road studios is much better sounding. Which Stones albums did you see were newly remastered, I would like to buy "hot rocks" done by Joe Gastwirt, Sam
Kira, I have the following Stones remasters - Exile on Main St., Sticky Fingers, and Goats Head Soup. They are all supremely better. These are remastered by Bob Ludwig using the Apogee UV22 blah, blah, blah. They are a big improvement, especially Exile and Goats Head Soup.
Are these remasters available at record stores, or through specialty mail order? The Stones CD's that I have are about 30 - 40% lower in volume than other cd's. They are also tinny sounding.
