Most of the later Stones albums were re-re-released as remastered CDs on Rolling Stones records (CDs) a few weeks ago. Sticky Fingers included, but I haven't heard it. Does this mean that SACD version won't be happening -- which would fit the general trend of no new rock SACDs. The new Exile on Main ST. is a decent improvement over the previous CD version. Any opinions on the other new versions?
Help, what's the best "Sticky FIngers?"
Can you point me towards the best sounding version of the Stones "Sticky Fingers." I've got the Virgin/Abko cd version, a well worn original US lp pressing (too well worn to really evaluate,) and a near mint MFSL lp. They all leave a lot to be desired in my opinion. The main problem with the MFSL is that the engineer mastered it with an exremely low sound level. I've got to turn the volume up to near maximum, so even with a well vacuumed record, there is too much awareness of groove noise or the occsional tic. This recording is the only one I've ever found with such an extreme case of this. Any suggestions?
