Rolling Stones remasters

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.

Pops, in the blah, blah blah you referred to, is there any mention of an MP33 (or something like that) system or process used in the remastering?

Pops is correct, in 1999 Virgin released some limited edition "album replica" Cds in cardboard sleeves to simulate the albums, and these were remastered in 1999 by Bob Ludwig. Unfortunately if you try to buy now they are very hard to find, sold out. BMPnyc the reason your CDs sound tinny is because these are the old ABKCO remasters
