Today's Subjects: ----------------- R&R: The early Rolling Stones - remastered ["Connell, Michael P" Subject: R&R: The early Rolling Stones - remastered :::::::: blowing the dust and cobwebs off of this list ::::::::: Sheesh, after a promising January things is quite slow around here. (100% has to do with the fact there are maybe 24 people subscribed to this boomer list...maybe it's time for a second announcement to the other smoe lists eh?) Anyway....from http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/2002/2002-05-31-stones.htm The early Rolling Stones - remastered By Mike Snider, USA TODAY Rolling Stones fans will soon get a chance to listen to vibrant remastered versions of the band's earliest recordings - and get a technology boost as a bonus. The Stones Remastered series includes 22 albums (out Aug. 20; $18.98 each for single discs), such as Let It Bleed, Beggars Banquet and the three-CD Singles Collection package. Added to the roster are the U.K. versions of Out of Our Heads, Aftermath, Between the Buttons and Metamorphosis, which contain different and in some cases unique tracks. (U.S. versions of Heads, Buttons and Aftermath also are included.) The '60s-vintage albums have been remastered from original analog sources by Bob Ludwig, who remastered the later Stones albums for Virgin Records. "If any Stones fan compares (these) to the 1986 (CD) versions, they will be pleasantly surprised at the extra amount of detail," Ludwig says. And that's in current CD players. Each disc is actually a dual-layer hybrid that also can play in new Super Audio CD players. That format, launched three years ago by Sony and Philips, offers more than four times the resolution of current CDs. "(When) we went from vinyl LPs to CD, that was a big jump," says release supervisor Jody Klein of ABCKO. "We got rid of all the pops and clicks, but we lost the warmth and depth (of vinyl.) With this release, we're gaining that back again." The End Mike :-) ------------------------------ End of 50s60s70s-digest V1 #23 ******************************
