Rolling Stones remasters

Kira, anything would have to be better than ABCO remasters. I just bought Tom Petty 2 CD anthology remasterd by Joe Gastwirt, and he did good job especially on early material ie "american girl","breakdown","listen to her heart" etc. these are noticeably better than the previous "greatest hits" CD, so I would like to hear a sample of Rolling Stones by Joe.......

Kira, it so dissappointing that the Stones 60s material was remastered so badly by ABKCO, like "hot rocks" 2 CD collection. I realize that the master tapes limit what can be done, but the Beatles material from the same period remastered by Abbey Road studios is much better sounding. Which Stones albums did you see were newly remastered, I would like to buy "hot rocks" done by Joe Gastwirt, Sam

Pops is correct, in 1999 Virgin released some limited edition "album replica" Cds in cardboard sleeves to simulate the albums, and these were remastered in 1999 by Bob Ludwig. Unfortunately if you try to buy now they are very hard to find, sold out. BMPnyc the reason your CDs sound tinny is because these are the old ABKCO remasters

7P62, yes there is a big difference, the older Stones albums from the 60s and 70s were remastered by ABKCO in 1987 and are dissapointing sound quality. The limited edition cardboard album sleeves are new 1999 remasters by Virgin, Bob Ludwig. Big improvement in sound quality, but they are out of print so if you see one grab it. I went to my local Best Buy last night and they had 1 "sticky fingers" left, all other album/CDs were gone. I do have 1999 "some girls" sounds very nice! I also noticed an import greatest hits album called "jump back 1971-93" which has new 1999 remaster it is single CD with about 18 tracks, but cost $23, ouch! I may still buy it and bring a jar of vaseline with me when I check out......Sam

One more clarifacation, all Stones albums proir to 1971 are still on the ABKCO label and do not have any 1999 album replica CD remasters. From 1971 to present label is Virgin CDs and these are the ones that had 1999 limited edition album replica remasters.....that leaves a lot of Stones stuff that still needs help.
