Let it Bleed Jan 23, 2010 Let It BleedIf you want definitive Rolling Stones at their creative and rocking peak buy Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers. All others pale before them. These 2 are the reason the Stones were known as the best rock'n roll band in the world.
concerning the remastering Nov 23, 2009 Had my cd collection stolen once, and I have some stones now but not all the classics, so now they are "remastered" looking at them here in amazon, as I prefer hard copies, reading all the reviews, and it just doesn't add up, some say they are terrible some say they are amazing! go figure, I listened to the samples here on amazon and first yea they were tinny and shrill, made me want to pass, as I have some good stones cd's anyway, but I was listening with my ipod issue earbuds well I took out my sennheiser over ear set and the shrillness and tiny sound were gone, I cranked up the volume and it was quite good. Not sure if this counts listening to mp3 versions on amazon, but the tracks, all sound good, I will go forward and buy again, let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Beggars Banquet, and possibly Ya Ya's and the double live one.

1969 Rolling Stones record remastered 2009 Nov 05, 2009 Awesome Stones record, one of their best, features blues to rock and roll, with a country sounding Honky Tonk Woman, plus Midnight Rambler and Gimme Shelter.

A Glorified Garage Band - Nothing More Aug 28, 2009 i own two Stones albums.....this one and 'beggars banquet'. i will probably upset more than a few people with my opinion, but...except for some well written songs, i have always thought the Stones were overrated. the Stones playing has ALWAYS been sloppy (both in the studio and live). as a musician myself, i certainly wouldnt consider any of them technically proficient musicians. (with the exception of mick taylor). you would have thought by this point that keith richards would at least improved as a guitarist. it blows me away when someone will say how the Rolling Stones are the greatest rock n roll band, then put down a band like Led Zeppelin. the Stones style ripped off the blues far more than Zep. having said all that, there are two really good songs on this album - 'Gimme Shelter' and 'You Cant Always Get What You Want'. the rest is simply forgettable.
When The Lads Played Rock For Keeps Aug 14, 2009 Hey, in 2009 no one, including this reviewer, NEEDS to comment on the fact that The Rolling Stones, pound for pound, have over forty plus years earned their place as the number one band in the rock `n' roll pantheon. Still, it is interesting to listen once again to the guys when they were at the height of their musical powers (and as high, most of the time, as Georgia pines). This album from their most creative period from 1964 to 1971, moreover, unlike let us say Bob Dylan who has produced more creative work for longer, is the `golden era" of the Stone Age. While this CD has a fistful of "greatest hits" from this period and there are no really bad tracks here the stick outs are "Gimme Shelter"( as always), the title track "Let It Bleed", "Midnight Rambler" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Ain't that the truth on that last one.
