Reviews

McHomie Aug 24, 2023
My copy is VG-, what they call "a players copy" with some surface noise and a couple of skips, one on "Gimme Shelter" and one on "Midnight Rambler", but holy crap this record sounds nice. A big full soundstage, plenty of low end, and the band sounds great throughout. Peak Stones.

My old friend passed away and his brother gave me his record collection which included and exceptionally clean version of this release.No inner sleeve but includes the insert and a NM- record Cover is VG++ I'll keep this till I die.

Gimme shelter sounds a bit flat and underwhelming on this pressing, but once Love In Vain kicks in, the rest of the album sounds great, with a huge, bassy Wall-Of-Sound type production. I don’t have a UK pressing or remaster to compare this with, but this sounds great.
