This blog is just CLIMBING THE WALLS!
These are the four that are coming out in the first batch.
And what I'm really bummed about is having to wait till the fall
for Exile on Mainstreet to be reissued with something special,
and it better not be just a "Special Box" to carry all the new
reissues!
Here is the Creative Arc:
Beggars Banquet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
EXILE ON MAINSTREET
Goat's Head Soup
It's Only Rock'n'Roll
Black And Blue
What I'm sad about is that Beggars and Let It Bleed
are Abkco. I did manage to find a DSD remastered
Japanese version of Let It Bleed that is TOTALLY worth it.
Very warm and it sounds almost like vinyl!
Obviously Exile is the top of the arc, and then it goes a
bit downhill, but not much! Don't read the crap that some
sites write (Allmusic), about how alot of the tracks on Goat's
Head and Sticky Fingers and It's Only Rock'n'Roll are filler
or B-tracks.
You have to remember that these were ALBUMS.
In the days before I-tunes, people listened to these as
a cohesive unit. So with that in mind, when they come
out, pretend they're 2-sided. When you get to what would
be considered side 2, turn it off, leave the room, maybe refill
your beverage, scratch yer ass, and listen to the rest of it.
In anticipation, here's a link to a great audiofile
website that delves more deeply into the actual studio
sounds of the best Rolling Stones albums.
