i got the target fan pack with the rarities disc and tee shirt and guitar pick...
oddly the CR case, is made for two discs... I downloaded the remaster off demonoid... tell you the truth, I wanted to see if it was better than my 94, before or even if i plunk the cash down... i had flacs of the extras, so maybe i just wanted a new shirt....

I discovered that those FLACS are not legit, or at the very least poorly ripped and converted.

The sound on those compared to the actual release is quite bad.

Just got the 2- disc thingy at Best Buy, $19.99 on sale, with the bonus interview disc, which is what you'd expect it to be: usual stories/raps, fun to hear Bill being his usual wise-guy self and Charlie being...Charlie.

Listening to 'Loving Cup' now- different take from the famous boot from the 'Honkey Tonk Women' sessions.

So far this thing is perfect- just perfect. Exceding my expectations by light years....

'Plundered My Soul'- years ago, my brother and I were tuning my drums for a crummy little basement 4-track recording, and we were trying to cop Charlie's sound ("just bash 'em 'til they go out of tune"), and he had this description of Watts' kick drum sound from the late '60's-mid '70's:

"It's like a fat man plopping himself down in a nice, comfy easy-chair".

Damn straight.

Again, the horns could be a tad louder...

'I'm Not Signifying'- That's right.

Now that's the way to record a horn section: dig Price's trumpet rolls (what's the technical term?).

And my own description of Charlies drum attack (especially his tom fills):

"Like really big basketballs bouncing around the court".

Never paid much attention to the 'I Ain't Lying' boot, but this cut kills!

Don't even want to see a lyric sheet for at least 10 years- Jagger's vocals are just another instrument in the mix, it's true. What a groovey tune!

'So Divine'- always loved this track; seems Richards has put a new guitar track down (or just a different mix); always loved the Middle Eastern "Paint It Black" motif, and Bobby's elegant sax line. Weird phasing on the drums (or just a bad master tape? haha! Better get baking this old stuff before the tapes disintergrate, lads!).

Yup, shoulda kept the horns on the proper version. But I might have to stand corrected about it being a different basic track: now I think it's just a tape edit of the same track- see Charlies fill at the 2:38 second mark. On the original he goes into a pounding floor-tom thing here, whereas in this version it's this cool snare/tom roll thingy.

God, I love this crusty old stuff!!!!

Though it's not as elegant and sexy as 'Tumbling Dice', it's got a great humorously randy vibe to it that just pulls you out to the dance floor, up to the bar or on to the bed! This is what we call Rock n' Roll Music.

Sounds like Mick Jones' guitar tone from The Clash's '79-'82 period! Wyman mixed so loud here, sort of acheives his live sound: a sort of saturated, mid-rangey, glue quality that holds Charlie and Keef together. Great atmosphere for such a slight throwaway.

did you DL the DVD version or just the 2 disc version...? I may need to go get the single disc remaster myself now... just to have a good version to a/b to my 1994...

anyone like the mastering of the 2010 over the 1994? anyone here actually give a shit about mastering... haha!!!
