Can anyone fill me in on what has happened here? I purchased the Let It Bleed remaster from Wal-Mart...(quit laughing...they're cheap!)and it has gaps like the original Abkco release has. No flow between the songs at all. At first I figued it was my cd player....but I checked it on a dozen others, old and new. the cd plays with gaps between the songs. All the certificate of authenticty is doing is certifying that my cd aint doing what i expected it to do. Im still happy with my purchase, though. Still, anyone know what the deal is?

Hey, how much are those mothers going for at Wal-Mart?
I nabbed the UK version of BETWEEN THE BUTTONS at Best Buy for $15.98, but I can't find the UK AFTERMATH anywhere!
BTW--the BUTTONS remaster sounds AMAZING! |

i'm not too sure about this,
but i once heard that because wall mart is so big, they can demand from record companies to alter cd's, to fit the customers needs.
for instance; they sell (rap) cd's where the bad language as been deleted.
maybe they think that a cd with only one track won't sell??
again i heard this (from my american cousin) and as there's no wall mart's in europe, i'm not sure. |

I got my Let It Bleed from Tower Records and it has the gaps too. Based on most posts I've seen, this is happening to alot of folks. I'm wondering if the gaps disappear only when you play it on a SACD player. Anyone have one?
By the way, they have UK Aftermath at Tower. |

The best I can figure is that only the SACD layer is gap-free. I have the LIB remaster, and it sounds like the same old gaps are there to me. My homemade CD dubbed from an LP sounds more gap-free than the remaster, and I wasn't even trying to do it!
In response to the second post about the U.K. Aftermath, I've seen it at several Media Play locations. There's almost no Stones remasters at local Best Buy's at all, which sucks because for the first week the advertised price was $12.99, and now it's jumped to $14.99, and most of the CDs never made it to any Best Buy stores in my area. Even a week later, I've seen at least one of all the 22 remasters at Media Play, but Best Buy's Stones sections are virtually empty. I don't know what they're problem is, but they're definitely losing my business. |

I was at a Target store the other day. Not one single Stones disc of any kind. Not one! |

The UK Aftermath is available at amazon.com - that's where I got mine. I haven't seen it in a retail outlet yet either. |

I've bought all my remasters, including Aftermath (UK), at Newbury Comics, except for Let It Bleed which I pre-ordered from Amazon.
I currently have:
Aftermath (UK)
Beggar's Banquet
Metamorphosis
Let It Bleed
Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!
Their Satanic Majesties Request
Next up? Hmm... Probably some of the earlier albums, but I would like to hear Between The Buttons (US) - I don't see any reason to buy UK!
As for the gaps...
I think what they mean is that there are no "pre-song pauses", which on a CD player would read "Track 02 -0:00:02" or something similar. There are still fades out and in and pauses at the end of songs, so as not to detract from it ("Love In Vain", cut off? Oh no!) The best example to listen to is the end of "Country Honk" with the honking horns and the start of "Live With Me" - the honking and so forth cut very quickly into the bass on "Live With Me".
I haven't heard the SACD layers of any of these, yet, though.

Actually, the U.S. version replaces a few of the UK's original songs with LSTNT and "Ruby Tuesday." I think they're "Back Street Girl" and "Please Come Home" . . . which are two of the best tracks on the album! |
