I'd written earlier about the outstanding quality of the "Beggars Banquet" remaster, and the next installment of the classic period is also excellent.
A buddy of mine gave me this as a birthday present, and I was very pleased. I only had it on LP.
This was actually one of the first Stones albums I bought back in the early 70s, and I was struck by their willingness to offer alternative versions of their material. Case in point -- "Country Honk".
Another complete package --nothing out of place, no filler. Just 42 minutes of brilliance, and capturing the atmosphere of their world at the time.
Quick note: on "You Got the Silver", I notice a similarity in the vocal range and sound of George Harrison in the Keith of 1969. Styles are different (George ALWAYS stayed laid-back), but yeah, on this particular track I can hear it.
