Exclusive to the 2016 and 2023 boxes is Stray Cats, a double-LP collection of two dozen mono single-only material and odds and ends, including "Con Le Mie Lacrime," an Italian-language version of "As Tears Go By," and "Stoned," the non-LP B-side of "I Wanna Be Your Man." The cheeky sleeve design to Stray Cats recalls the art to Beggars Banquet, which will be presented with its original "bathroom wall" cover now present on most CD reissues.

Different shape of the CD. Originals from USA are ‘clear plastic’ hub CDs. Chinese fakes came with relatively broad ‘clear’ ring, but part of the hub is covered with ‘silver’ foil.Since the recordings are identical, you’d think the two box sets would be equal. This is where cutting, pressing and vinyl quality affect LPs. To hear how some of it can sound, the 12" 45 rpm single reissue last year of "Satisfaction" with "Under Assistant promo guy" and "Spider and the Fly" shows that this stuff can sound pretty good, though you can't get away from the fact that Satisfaction just is not a good recording. That chopped off "RCA sound"... Producer [Restoration Producer], Transferred By [Analog To Digital Transfers], Research [Tape Archive Research] – Teri Landi I'm sorry if I offended you in what I said about computer speakers. The fact remains the same however, the best computer speaker setups although good generally don't and can't sound as good as a good two channel setup. The Monsoon speaker setup is no exception even though they are a good setup. They just don't have the quality amplification needed to produce the proper dynamics needed. Not to mention that in most cases (yours may be different) you just can't set them up properly in the room for proper acoustics. Now that's not to say they won't sound decent and can't, because they can, but they just won't be in the same class as say a pre amp, amp and speakers setup perfectly in a room that is acoustically treated which is the way my system is setup.

To maximise sound quality, it was important to source first generation tapes or as high a generation sources as possible for the ultimate mastering.There’s really no comparison that favors the originals, unless you are hopelessly nostalgic. When people used to describe these recordings—particularly the early ones—as “dirty”, they were describing more how they were mastered than how they actually sound.

Although, SHM-CD logo is printed on the hub, the catalog number, SID mastering code and Universal logo are present in the inner mirror band of the CD the fonts that are used are different from official. Also, the CD shape is different from those that are pressed in Japan. The reason that digital mastering is preferable to just transferring the tape itself onto vinyl is because you have to correct many small (and larger) faults that have developed on the tape over the years as well as basic issues such as multiple tape alignments. Digital mastering can isolate and pin-point rogue frequencies and small errors. Try doing the same on a tape and not only will your error (hopefully) be fixed but that same ‘fix’ will occur across the entire frequency band over a wide area, causing problems before and after the ‘error’ causing, in effect, new errors. Hence, digital mastering was essential.

There are also the cheap, awful kind. But don't lump them all into one. The Rolling Stones in Mono (Limited Color Edition) was mastered by GRAMMY® award-winning engineer Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering. For the project he utilized Direct Stream Digital (DSD) transfers from the original master recordings, with a sampling rate of 2,822,400. Lacquer cutting for vinyl was performed at Abbey Road Studios by Sean Magee. The Rolling Stones in Mono (Limited Color Edition) project has been overseen by Teri Landi, ABKCO’s GRAMMY ® award-winning Chief Audio Engineer. I’m not going to write about the two “fold down” albums, Beggar’s Banquet and “ Let It Bleed except to say there are real mono mixes of “Sympathy For the Devil” and “Let It Bleed” that are superb.

theme_alert": "Due to global production & fulfillment delays some customers may experience longer wait times for deliveries on this store. We thank you for your patience & customer care is here to help if you have any concerns.", I just want to give a bit of clarification for people confused about BB and LIB in mono. Those two LPs were released in both mono and stereo editions in the UK on the red Decca label. The safe choice is EU box. On the red side of the box there is barcode only. The CDs in the box are in modern ‘super jewel’ cases. Apparently, these were not faked.

In the early days of stereo having different sounds coming out of two different speakers (plus the “phantom” center channel) was a dazzling novelty making it easy to ignore the disjointed and artificial soundstage, with each of the channels having its own compartmentalized sonic environment. When exposed to the original mono mixes of familiar “stereo” mixes, today’s more sophisticated listeners can easily grasp the superiority of the mono mixes, which have a coherency, solidity and yes, depth of field that make the stereo mixes sound disjointed and far less satisfying. This is the first Stones album to be produced by Jimmy Miller, who also produced Traffic and Spooky Tooth as well as co-writing ‘I’m A Man’ with Stevie Winwood. This is an album as different from its predecessor as it’s possible to be. It came out a year after Their Satanic Majesties Request, making it the longest wait for a Stones’ album since the start of their career.
