Has anyone purchased any Stones CD's, SACD's, or DVD Audio with decent sound quality.
For some reason, all of my stones stuff ranges from unbearable, to just acceptable.

    Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, and Get Your Ya-Ya's Out all benefited nicely from the SACD thing. I bought the first Hot Rocks also on SACD, and some of the early songs benefited, some didn't.

    Stripped isn't too bad...probably because it is primarily acoustic. Still doesn't compare to a lot of acoustic music unfortunately.

    The best recorded Stones song I have heard is Fancy Man blues from Rarities. Great song and a good recording.....wish there was more, although I have not heard any of the sacd's.

    All the Stones SACD's are better than the redbook versions. One needs to remember that the sound quailty of any release, on any format, is only as good as the master.
