Hey, folks--I've lurked for awhile, but this is my first actual freakin' post!
I was wondering if anyone could give me info on remastered Stones CDs from Virgin. When compact discs first came into being, I naturally nabbed the whole Stones catalog when they came out in the mid-80s.
I know that when Virgin signed the Stones, they reissued STICKY FINGERS on up. I have a few of the "mini-albums" (SOME GIRLS and EXILE) but was wondering what Virgin discs were actually reMASTERED. Was it all of them?
My Rolling Stones Records/Columbia Stones CDs (the originals) sound pretty "thin." If anything else WAS remastered I wanna pick 'em up!
Thanks in advance for any info! |

Well, you can get limited edition Stone albums from Virgin. They are about $35.00 each. They are hard to find in stores but easy to find online. Try looking on Ebay. I think I saw Tattoo You there. If you get Sticky Fingers on limited edition, I think it has the zipper cover! |

Thanks for the reply, stone jr!
I'm mainly wondering if ALL of the Virgin reissues (STICKY FINGERS on up) were remastered SOUND-wise when they put 'em out in the mid-nineties, especially some of the "lesser" CDs like GOAT'S HEAD, BLACK & BLUE, UNDERCOVER, etc.
I don't want to give away what I have until I know that there really is a better replacement! : ) |

Virgin remastered,repackaged and reissued all the post 1970 albums (studio and live) in 1993. Theyre a great improvement on the CBS versions.
In a couple of cases,such as "Slave" on "Tattoo You" and (I think) "Luxury" from "IORR" the songs were noticeably longer |

Thanks for the info!
Between having to buy all of these, PLUS the EARLY albums in August . . . I'm gonna be in the poor house! Good thing that I already have my Stones tickets for the October Cleveland show! : ) |

A dark skinned fellow with a towel on his head approached me the other day and said that if I were willing to sacrifice myself in the name of Allah, there would be 70 remastered virgins waiting for me in heaven. I politely declined and told him that I was not willing to take my own life for 70 remastered virgins, but, I that I would consider inflicting slight injury upon myself for 10 minutes with the skank ass ho' that trolls 10th street. Negotiations continue... |

Love You Live, Still Life and Flashpoint were all re released in 1998 and were originally only available as imports from Japan, which is where I got my copies. I am not sure if they did anything special packaging wise or sound wise as I never had the CBS versions. The Japanese versions contain all the lyrics though. |

Yes, "love you live" was remastered by Virgin last year.
there was no slipcase edition for this record, just a "classic" double cd.
you can find it everywhere, i don t think the songs are differents.
