Free Music Review: One of their best
Hit: 5 Stars

A lot of folks don't seem to like this newest version due to the supposed poor remastering. Well, I don't own the 1994 Virgin version so I can't compare this to that but I do own the 1990 CBS version and this basically just sounds like that, only louder. Other than that the overall sound is cleaned up a bit and the bass and drums a bit more punchy.

Having said that, the reason I felt compelled to buy this (other than the fact that it is one of my favorite Stones LP's) is that on my iPod I have to crank up the CBS version to hear it well and that causes unwanted hiss and background noise. This UM version takes care of that problem and also more closely matches the levels of other recordings I have on my iPod giving a more consistent listen from album to album, especially when listening in my car. I think there are imperfections w/ the original recording and/or production that just may simply be more amplified here. Possibly Virgin did a better job w/ the '94 release of masking those imperfections or smoothing out the wrinkles so to speak.

As far as the actual music goes, this is one of the Stones' best in my opinion. "Brown Suger" was an instant classic upon it's original release and touches on one of the Stones' favorite subjects: sex! And in this case, somewhat taboo sex being that the object of desire is a woman of color. "Sway" is one of my very favorite Stones songs. One that I never tire of hearing. Mick Taylor is brilliant on this track w/ his tasteful slide solo in the middle and intense ripping on the outro. "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is another favorite. Mick just goes for it here. "Wild Horses" is absolutely beautiful w/ Keith's 12-string strumming. "Bitch" rocks. Another reviewer mentions how this remaster kind of made him rediscover "Sister Morphine" given the fact that this version really pops out of the speakers at you. I couldn't agree more. And Finally, "Moonlight Mile". I don't know what to say other that I really love this song. It's very intense and moving. A perfect way to round out the album.

I have to believe that it's releases like this one that help spawn and inspire the likes of the Black Crowes, Aerosmith and Guns 'n Roses. This is a great album and the remaster, although not perfect, does make the original better.
