Performance:  Sonics:  |
This is an outstanding album, but like the other early albums recorded on rolling stones records, the sound quality could have been a lot better. As far as RBCDs are concerned, I have the 1994 Virgin CD, the original CBS, the Austrian CBS, and a japanese version, an overall the CD version I prefer is the Austrian CBS.
As far as high resolution discs are concerned, I have the SHM SACD and this new BluRay. The BluRay sounds very similar to the SHM SACD - if you have the SACD, I would recommend buying the BluRay only if you want to rip it.
The only problem with the BluRay is the fact that many if the songs are truncated - the last 5 seconds or so are missing! As ant Stones fan knows, many of their songs really jam as they fade out - for example, You Can't Always Get What You Want on Let It Bleed has a fantastic jam as the songs fades out. I know Exile very well, it is one of my favorite albums, and having the songs end early makes it difficult to really enjoy this recording. Why did they do this?!?!
