is the new rolling stones goats head soup deluxe reissue worth it?

Sam here and after running my own test on the new rolling stones goats head soup reissue as far as the original album goes the new reissue and the 2009 remaster have the same dynamic range to the point of saying they are one and the same.Have a look https://i.postimg.cc/QtW9HQ34/5.png All they did was apply some reverb to the 2009 remaster. For the record company to release something this unlistenable proves my point that they are purposely distroying music.

The 2020 version is not a remaster, it's a brand new remix by Giles Martin.  Sounds pretty good to me.

Only you can answer that question. IMO of the 26? studio albums they have released this falls somewhere in the middle. My advice is find the best original pressing and be willing to pay for it. At least 4/5 times the original pressing has better sound quality then any type of reissue.

Since I absolutely despise The Rolling Stones, I would say no, don’t waste your money.

I thought the Qobuz streaming version sounded pretty good, better than a lot of Stones stuff tbh.

However I just played my mono vinyl of Flowers and THAT is nicely done but it was 1967... Lol.
