Yeah I know what you mean... I'm not very familiar with the whole mastering process. Here's the Don Was story from Goldmine magazine: "The Stones had just signed to Virgin Records and “Voodoo Lounge” was gonna be their first record for the label. But Virgin was gonna reissue the catalog at the same time. They chose “Exile On Main Street” and “Sticky Fingers” to be the first two

Yes a lot of people rave about the flat transfer (haven't heard it YET). What I don't get... I've read numerous posts (here and at the Hoffman forum) that indicate that the original master was lost and that famously Bob Ludwig had to purchase a mint Monarch copy for his 1994 mastering (source: Don Was) but I've found nothing about the resurfacing of that master.
Forum: Tell Me

Been a long time... What about the EMI releases, e.g. UK 79 CUN-1 or even Germany in 77. Did they feature new mastering? At least they didn't use Artisan plates anymore (although they did in the US until 78 iirc)

Oh yeah that letter makes a HUGE difference! Will check out pbthal, thanks
Forum: Tell Me

Thanks, was able to locate something... I have several Artisan cuts (just love that mastering) but always end up frustrated when I listen to the 2010 remaster on Spotify when I'm on the road. As you brought up the SACD... Do you know if it's the same flat transfer as UICY-79242? I found out UICY-79242K isn't the hard way...

Ah makes sense... Thanks Irix.

Can anybody point me in the right direction where I could find a needle drop of EOMS with Artisan mastering (Monarch, Presswell, UK, ... doesn't really matter)? Wasn't able to find one using the search function...

QuoteVoodooLounge13 So these SHM CD's are not needed then, because they're the same mastering as the SACD's from '02? Thought I remember reading on here somewhere that there were mono songs on these CDs that weren't anywhere else... There is nothing new on them if you have the 2016 monos. If you haven't got them both feature the first ever true mono mix of Back St

QuoteJalfstra How do these SHM's sound compared to the SACD series (which I already have)? Do they sound better? Or do they use the same DSD remasters? Which SACDs have you got? Did they release the mono mixes on SACD?

Really good offer, bought them up til Let it Bleed to get the mono remasters, for some reason s/t and No.2 are ridiculously priced, but I can do without them just to compare the rest to the original mixes or in some cases fold-downs

The day after the Waldbühne show I accidentally met Darryl on a train, I couldn't believe it. Luckily, the AC in first class was broken (his T-shirt was sweat-soaked) so he happily joined us in our dining car booth, had a beer and talked Stones, Steve, Miles... it was incredible. He is just as great a bass player as he is a person. Thanks for sharing this!

Is the assumption that the Jazz Fest date is going to be part of the tour announcement next week or that it will be added when the festival lineup is announced early next year?
