Stones: Sticky FIngers.....

thanks for the tip HDM, my copy is now 'flying low'!

I have both the Canadian 1st pressing and the MOFI.
The MOFI has much better separation. Wider sound stage and clear sound.
The Canada version sounds ok- a bit hot and distorted in spots.

I'm not sure why so many folks dump on the MOFI. It needs volume to sound it's best. On a good system it it really shines. Fremer agrees with this.

I agree the MOFI is very good, the trouble is it was cut about 10 dB too low. My preamp didn't go up high enough. Virgin made excellent versions of some of the Stones' standard repertoire but I don't remember if sticky fingers was one of them.
