Anyone know of a good pressing of Stickey Fingers?


Is the MFSL LP a big improvement over the standard pressings?
I've always loved this record, but the sound is typical 70's dreadful.

Mine is the original as I suspected.

These words/letters/numbers are engraved on the lead out grooves.

Side 1:
Rolling Stones Records, BBB-11-111

Side 2:
Rolling Stones Records, ST-RS, 712190, AAA 1-11

FWIW
I have the original release COC 59100, ST-RS-712190 PR, bought during the first months of US release. Still in perfect condition except for Peter Pan is missing his zipper....
Any tried any of the SACDs? Ive had my hands on them a couple of times but always felt short on cash.
Agree about the MoFi. I bought mine some 20 years ago, and was amazed at how the sax solo in "Brown Sugar" sounds like a kazoo. (I kid you not!)
I can tell you to stay away from the dreadful EMI 180 g. reissues of Exile, Sticky Fingers (there's another, too -- there were three) that came out about six years ago. It was done by a great masterer like Ricker or Ludwig (I think Ricker), but he admitted that there were problems with them (something about a record company bean counter somehow mucking it up). They are so bad that the catalog houses that carried them started putting out disclaimers.

I use my EMI copy of Sticky Fingers only for "Can't You Hear Me Knockin" -- the opening riff tells me if I've got the left/right channels straight on my turntable.
