i think most people are satisfied with the sound quality of the virgin remasters. these are hard times and most people will not spend money on something they already have.
Agreed, the Virgin remasters sound fine to me....I am tired of re-buying stuff from my favorite classic rock bands over and over so I don't unless there is something new released with it...

Just wanted to put in a good word for censoring "Star Star." As a gay man (who just picked up his first copy of GHS last night) I'll take "now that's what I call obscene" over "pussy clean" any day of the week.
I would probably faint or get the vapours if I heard the original.

Female groupies can be a priggish bunch. They are probably happy to have the cleaned up version of "@#$%&" as well. That may have been Unvisersals plan all along. First time gay record buyers and female groupies angry over the original version. GHS will probably crack the top 200 in todays record buying market.

I'm a newbie buying the albums for the first time brickwalled, censored bad packaging and all but I never fall for the greatest hits packages like 40 Licks. No thanks. That's what file sharing is for. Actually my favorite Stones albums after Banquet, Exile and SF are the Bigs Hits 1 and 2 from ABKCO...sound great with awesome album covers. I think Hots Rocks is a rip off too. Nothing Special.
Where can I get my medal or badge for not buying 40 Licks? I'm available for speaker bookings and fan conventions to present my "why I will never buy 40 Licks" speech.

Why do some people have so many fan club caps and extra copies of Licks? If you were around in 2002-2003 and were looking for great seats for shows then may be you would have an idea about that.
I do have each and every original album release on vinyl original production. And I have each and every CD release as they came out when the CD player came to the market, plus each and every CD released after that from their back-catalogue. But the content on the Cd is simply files, computer data. For me that is something not original. In this computer age all I need is a disc and on that big disc I have all the music I want. One day this will be available. I don't need 20 different "remaster" packaging products with the music I do already have in original...

I bought the UMG Black and Blue last night (literally) so I guess that would be the one copy.
I'm from the school of "pick an obscure, unloved album/song from a bands catalog, convince yourself you've discovered something no one else heard in the album/song and that you in fact LOVE it. Next scream from the highest mountain top for all to hear that the album/song is in fact THE BEST THING THE BAND HAS EVER DONE and you have me to thank for enlightening everyone."
And you Sir Craven of Cottage are a classic rock Neanderthal for not appreciating the disco and reggae rhythms of the Stones overlooked MASTERPEICE BLACK AND BLUE!!! What to the untrained eye appears unfocused and jammy is in fact the most perfect recording in rock and roll history....
No need to thank me.

I don't see anything wrong with the fan club deal really. You get a CD and a cap and pay some money and then you are in the front of the queue like a VIP.
