Mastered by Bob Ludwig - Cut at Abbey Road - 180 Gram Virgin Vinyl

Book - Limited Edition

The Absolute Sound Super Disc List   TAS Harry Pearson Super LP List

New box set compiles mono versions of the Stones' 1960s catalog - 186 songs, 56 never before available in mono!

Mono masters created by noted engineer Bob Ludwig; vinyl lacquers cut at Abbey Road Studios!

As a testament to the original producers and engineers, and to the quality of these dead-quiet pressings, the music that comes through en masse also features tremendous detail, depth, and spaciousness. These LPs convey the attack, decay, punch, pacing, power, and, most significantly, visceral directness more authoritatively and convincingly than even the long-out-of-print, exceptional-sounding SACDs of the same material. Above all, the vinyl delivers an abundance of tone and body—both the sort associated with individual instruments as well as the rarer, harder-to-replicate type engendered by the interaction of guitars, drums, bass, vocals, and a room.- Tone Audio

I can only tell you that in my system and to my ears, overall the reissues have far wider dynamic range, much better bass, greater transparency and are overall much better -www.analogplanet.com
