Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" Remasters

I have actually noticed the dominant vocals thing on a few other reissues in the last few years. I think they are doing it as a scary portion of the population just rips the cd to itunes and they want the vocals to stand out after being mangled.

The general issue in my mine on all the reissues is do the ever listen to these on an normal stereo system and not just from the mixing board in a room filled with acoustic foam.
Near field listening in a foam filled room explains how crappy these things sound in a normal room.

Bums me out as I love Exile and that is probably crap as well.

The MSFL (LP) version was nothing short of phenomenal. I lost my copy in a move and haven't been the same since. If you can find a copy on Ebay (or here) grabit. You will love it.

The MFSL LP version of Sticky Fingers may be the absolute worst in the entire Mobile Fidelity catalog.

Followed closely by Aja.

Totally agree with Bill, the MFSL is THE most overhyped recording I've ever been sucked into buying. Thankfully, the demand for it continues and I sold it for what I paid. The 90's Virgin was better, particularly the vinyl British pressed version.

For a CD, the Virgin remaster is the best, a very clean recording remastered by Bob Ludwig. You can get it cheap on E=bay
