Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"?

Physically, the London-label LPs hold up well over the years. Their pressings and vinyl quality seem solid. As for the sound, the Stones are not a clean band, but a grungy sounding one by choice. They used a mobile recording system during the Exile/Sticky Fingers era—that suggest to me that they cared more about keeping their vibe loose and free rather than employing the ideal, state-of-the-art studio. Maybe the audio clarity that we audiophiles look for is not what they sought. That being said, I do wish that Sticky Fingers had a higher fidelity sound. Sigh.

The ones that got a lot of air play early 60s sounded terrific. One assumes they were 45s.

Skyscraper, you and I are on the same page. I used to skip school senior year and ride over to the ocean with a buddy playing Let It Bleed on an 8 track.  I still hope to hear it in all its glory.  I have had moments of bliss with it, but not consistently.  Maybe it was due to an altered state.
Thanks for all the discussion.  If nothing else I'm digging out all of my Stones catalog and have found a pristine Some Girls which will be on the TT tonight. 
Michael Green, I'm starting to think about my system as well.  On other threads I've considered the power of my amp and whether it is up to what some Stones recordings require.
BTW found a podcast Sound Opinion that discusses the making of Exile.  Pretty good.
I'll be checking out the recordings again and simply enjoying the music.  Thanks

Most of the classic-era Stones releases were issued on R2R as well. If you’ve listened to any (Let it Bleed, for instance), you won’t question their sound quality.

Hell yeah. “Street Fighting Man”. Any version, any source.
