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

Before I became a snobby audiophile I loved the Rolling Stones.  But as my system grew and I discovered all kinds of sounds in recordings (CD as well as Vinyl) that I had never heard before and the openness and depth of soundstage that was a wonder, I never had that same Wow moment with the Stones recordings.  Actually the best sound I have found came from the Hot Rocks double LP.  Has anyone else had a better experience with their recordings?  Having gone through so many remasters, nothing seems to have changed.  Sticky Fingers should be something better than we get.  The opening riff of Brown Sugar has always seemed so muddy.  My rant, any thoughts?

I find all my old original recordings to sound good on vinyl, the newer stuff like the Blues album for example sound bright and compressed which surprised me.

I also don't prefer the remakes I have like Beggars and Exile.  I guess you can't fix what wasn't right to begin with.  Wouldn't it be interesting if there was MOFI original recording possibilities...

For a life long Stones fan like me the quality of the recording takes a back seat to the great music which is opposite to how I feel about some music as an audiophile.

Talk is cheap was the first CD I bought ever!   The original vinyl is sonically excellent.  Curious about the remaster.
