They question is - will he be able to top it in 2031 for the 50s anniversary edition? I bet yes.Quote

2021, Masher strikes again. This time it is no brickwall, it is a concrete plate.
DR=4. Ear-bleeding over-compressed loud mess.

Taylor1Thecredits say Preston on Heaven.He stopped playing with them in 1976 over an argument with Mickand did not play with Stones until 1997. That is just one omission orinaccuracy . Wood didn’t play on Slave. Wyman is either miscredited or wrongly omitted on some songs.Taylor played on the bootleg Drift Away , I haven’t heard this one. And there is an organ on Drift Away but it’s not credited. These credits are like the ones for the Exile Deluxe. There is very little chance Taylor did not play on the original WOAF.He is on every song they recorded during the GHS sessions He was even quoted in 1981 as saying he played on it.Maybe he played bass or a solo which was removed and replaced with the saxophone. And I have never heard Keith ever talk about what guitars he played on this songQuote

I find it hard to believe that Taylor is not playing on WOAF in some capacity. Bass? There is no song from the Goats Head Soup sessions he is not playing on
What’s hard to believe are the credits. Billy Preston on WOAF?
He could have played bass. Wyman wasn’t present for a lot of those basic sessions. Understandably.

As always in life, make your own judgement. Don't listen to what other people say. If you like or dislike a certain piece of music is totally subjective.
I think this is the best that Jagger ever sung. Really. In the 70s and 80s he sung more raw and more like he didn't give a sh*t but now he sounds like a man who mastered his craft. I think he did. He reaches every note totally effortless nowadays.Quote

The fact that it is not easy to discern Jagger’s new vocals from the old original vocals is pretty amazing. Can you imagine if Paul McCartney decided to release outtakes from Band On The Run and added new vocals? It would be quite obvious! I think Jagger sounds pretty damn good on these tracks. The more I listen to them, the better they sound.

I don't think Paul McCartney needs to do anything or try-hard with new vocals.

Yes. But you'll need to make a digital transfer (vinyl rip) first.Quote

Is it possible to measure the DR level (brick walling) on the vinyl. They sound good to me.

Thanks for the information ironbelly. Guess too bad I bought the CD deluxe instead of vinyl. However, I did get the double clear vinyl. Really like that one.
Well, when I remove the vocals I can hear multiple guitars.One sounds like Taylor.And Prestons organ is clearly heard but not listed on these creditsQuote

Can you link a version of Drift Away where you can hear Taylor?

Live albums are something different than these live versions, while live albums usually get a review of the various tracks (drums, chirarra, vocals etc.), these lives only get a review of the whole sound, it feels better than a bootleg, but never as good as a live album.Quote

I had the chance meanwhile to hear Wembley on a good sound system. The old Sam Wheat-disease: Mick upfront in a grotesque way. The guitars in the background. It is the same messed-up sound like on Miami. A great performance and a lousy sound. Is Bob Clearmountain too expansive for a deluxe-project? So they pay for an absolutely deaf man.
We haven't had an excellant SBD since Ya Ya's IMO. A lot of the '81 SBD's had the same issue. Picking on my deluxe tonight along with new Parquet Courts album...

Well after sampling some of the Wembley show via Spotify I am not so sure about springing for the Super Deluxe anymore. It sounds super thin, the drums in particular. Not much better than a standard 1981/82 SBD boot. Actually I had a boot of the Hampton show that I downloaded years ago which sounds 10x better than this release... Certainly not worth paying the extra $100+ for a book and an average sounding SBD recording.
