Well I will let IGTB off the hook as I agree w/you Palace. I don't know about Dead Flowers though, it just seemed like it could have used more kick. That's why I have always liked the live performances. 2 standouts to me have always been the L&G version and the Voodoo Miami performance.

11 million copies has nothing to do with the quality of the mix/sound.

...the sound is so accessible and so signature and unmistakable that the sales of these 2 records were over the top for the Rolling Stones. If you think there isn't a corrrelation between the sound of these 2 records and the sales that's cool...but the sales speak for themselves.

What do folks think of the early, first five albums? The remastered versions?
And then the mid 60 to psychedelic era?
There was quite a quantum leap up to Banquet in '68.

I kinda see what you mean, but I don't agree at all. The textures of Beggar's Banquet and Exile, just to mention but two of their masterpieces, are incredible through headphones. I've spent so many hours listening to the Stones on headphones ... Jump Back when going to bed, Handsome Girls on the train, Tattoo You on cassette while clearing weeds from the lawn ...Quote

I think one rough rule of thumb I have is - the Stones are not to be listened to on headphones. If the song works on headphones, it's most likely not good Stones.
