Rolling Stones remasters

7P62, yes there is a big difference, the older Stones albums from the 60s and 70s were remastered by ABKCO in 1987 and are dissapointing sound quality. The limited edition cardboard album sleeves are new 1999 remasters by Virgin, Bob Ludwig. Big improvement in sound quality, but they are out of print so if you see one grab it. I went to my local Best Buy last night and they had 1 "sticky fingers" left, all other album/CDs were gone. I do have 1999 "some girls" sounds very nice! I also noticed an import greatest hits album called "jump back 1971-93" which has new 1999 remaster it is single CD with about 18 tracks, but cost $23, ouch! I may still buy it and bring a jar of vaseline with me when I check out......Sam

CDnow.com and CDuniverse.com still have Sticky Fingers and Some Girls available in the limited edition versions!

Thanks Megasam and Lphunter2. The people at Hi Fi Buys didn't have a clue on this. I will make every effort to get the cardboard editions. Thanks again.

Find yourself clean original mono pressings of early stones stuff...its the way to go!

Haven't heard any of the Stones remasters yet. I am not sure how much benefit we can get from remastered Stones music. Don't get me wrong, "It's only rock and roll, but I like it". I don't really consider Joe Gastwirt a remastering "guru". I prefer the work of Doug Sax, Bernie Grundman and Stan Ricker. Just my 2 cents worth.
