My J&R Rolling Stones order shipped YESTERDAY

With a little luck, I just might get this tomorrow.

In any event, only 9 of the 22 titles I ordered shipped. The titles that shipped are: Hot Rocks, Metamorphosis, Let it Bleed, Beggar's Banquet, Their Satanic Majesty's Request, Between the Buttons (UK), Aftermath (US), Aftermath (UK), and Big Hits: High Tide and Green Grass.

 

with all the titles ordered, will you be the resident reviewer?

 

Actually, I'm probably not the best person to review these titles. For one thing, I don't have an SACD player. And I'm REALLY interested in hearing how the SACD layer sounds compared to the redbook layer. For another, I really don't have much to compare these new discs against. I got rid of all of my old ABCKO CDs, and while I have a most of the old import CD's, I suspect that many people do not. Hopefully there's somebody out there who has an SACD player, as well has the old ABKCO CD's and perhaps some original vinyl pressings too.

 

I'm just not fully familiar with the whole Stones output, I'm just looking for some input on which are the better discs musically. The only one I ever owned was Satanic Majesties ( the brother to Sgt. Peppers). Boy I loved that original cover!

 

Let It Bleed
Beggars Banquet
and Aftermath (go with the UK version)
are all amazingly solid albums. Can't go wrong there.

Depends on your tastes though. I'm less interested in the earlier stuff and will be happy with the singles from those years. Your mileage may vary. Still I can't see how you can go wrong with those 3.
