In Reply to: The Bad Sound Quality On Stones Albums of the 1960's. posted by Stones Maniac on August 09, 1999 at 22:42:45:
There were 2 separate times that digital transfers were done- once in the late '80's (appalling sound) & again in the mid '90's (apparently sounds fine now). I dont know which versions you have. It was certainly not Oldhams fault for sure & hey, the other guy that posted was right. The Stones were a punk band 15 yrs ahead of their time. Why the hell would anyone want pristine quality out of those old recordings anyway? Pick up the original vinyl recordings if you can
