Anyone know of a good pressing of Stickey Fingers?

I have the original release COC 59100, ST-RS-712190 PR, bought during the first months of US release. Still in perfect condition except for Peter Pan is missing his zipper....

Davetherave, I just finished comparing the mofi to my original US pressing, and was also about to post that the thin-sounding sax on the mofi sounds like a kazoo, when I read your post! The original US pressing is more full-bodied and organic. More life in the presence region, and more revealing of background detail. But neither version does ultimate justice to the Stones.

Lucas, the SACDs are great. I particularly like Satanic Majesty. The SACD brings out all kinds of details buried deep in the mix.

I had a chance to spin up my original US pressing of Exile on Main Street COC 2-2900, ST-RS-722507/8/9/10 PR. Exile sounds really good sonically & a cut above the US first pressing of Sticky Fingers. I'd like to get my hands on a UK pressing for comparison.

I'll go a little further revisiting these albums & suggest that the original vinyl US pressing of Exile has warmth & detail pretty close to the standard of the early London records. Problem with recollection of murk on this album likely owed to Pioneer receiver with small Advent speakers & foggy bong water in my early 70s "listening sessions". Perhaps the Sticky Fingers production got caught in the compromised transistor mixing panels that came in around 1970.

Also compared Satanic Majesty on SACD & early London and green-label Decca vinyl. The Decca betters the London in all respects. The SACD is great but really a matter of taste-- not quite as involving as the vinyl but much more dynamics & bass authority.
