Help, what's the best "Sticky FIngers?"


Can you point me towards the best sounding version of the Stones "Sticky Fingers." I've got the Virgin/Abko cd version, a well worn original US lp pressing (too well worn to really evaluate,) and a near mint MFSL lp. They all leave a lot to be desired in my opinion. The main problem with the MFSL is that the engineer mastered it with an exremely low sound level. I've got to turn the volume up to near maximum, so even with a well vacuumed record, there is too much awareness of groove noise or the occsional tic. This recording is the only one I've ever found with such an extreme case of this. Any suggestions?

MoFi really screwed some things up. I have the Virgin CD remastered by Bob Ludwig. Some of it is decent but for the most part it is not very good. Not much of the Stones stuff sounds very good.
Russellrcncom but it is mastered so low it has to be turned up very high which of course raises the noise floor.
