QuoteBashlets CD is much harsher on the ears but they have released worse. Blue and Lonesome with any volume sounded distorted and Universals release of Goats and Sticky in 2009 or 2010 were dreadful UMG's handling of the Stones' LPs on CD has been criminal - it's not the format's fault.

The CD sounds like there is an emptiness some places and others it sounds like the CD is trying to jump out of the player. Like it is angry. Just got the vinyl today (diamond clear, it seems to be labeled, and looks clear), so I h

It's there with some other great albums to pick up if one feels like hearing something great for sure. I

QuoteIrix Quotebakersfield That's interesting. Already posted here a while ago - - Hackney Diamonds comparison: good sounding Vinyl & Dolby Atmos vs. brickwalled CD & HiRes. The Rolling Stones should be EMBARRASSED by this. And in regard to their entire 1971-1997 (back) catalog thanks to StePHen Marcussen. Bob Ludwig RULES.

Quotebakersfield Absolutely agree. Great songs. Great energy. I’m fascinated to see where the next album takes them. My only caveat is, I’d prefer it not to be so ‘brickwalled’ - but that’s a minor complaint Unfortunately that's the way it's been for quite some time. It takes someone in the - it seems like they'd've heard from someone already about how bad their relea

QuoteVoodooLounge13 There are many bands with just a couple original members still - The Stones, The Who, AC/DC previously, hell even Metallica only has two original members!!! The difference is some of these bands have been carrying on with the same replacements for decades now. So long so that it’s become almost acceptable. This new incarnation of AC/DC is above and beyond that. It’s not much

So weird - Ronnie sits in like this and you can hear how great he is as a guitar player - flashes of what's on LOVE YOU LIVE - just how good Ronnie truly is and maybe a clue as to what we truly hear sometimes. With the Stones it's so selective.

It's not some magical figment of studio trickery. Then the Stones sampled it for a live album 22 years later. Perhaps the first ever "Easter Egg" in the digital realm.
