I like Michael Fremer (at least, it looks like him). Very interesting and a great record!

Me too, but what was the conclusion ? Should I buy the new set or try to get the original records.
The video sort of finished 3 minutes early ??

I would need to listen on better than these computer speakers at work to get an idea of which I prefer.

Buy a set of new pressings and use the money saved to see the Stones play live.

Ok, having listened to it with a proper system, the first record sounds far better.

The mono one - I think! As you said, the video is incomplete so he doesn't confirm after playing the second record what it is.

I thought they were both mono?

That could be so. In which case, I missed what the difference is but the first play sounds better.

The first was an early first pressing, the second was from the new mono box set.

I only have one early Stones mono album, a copy of 'Aftermath'. It happens to be my favourite of all their records, so I know it well. My copy isn't mint by any means but it sounds excellent to my ears.

I don't own any original mono stones but this box set sounds excellent. Unless you want to spend months or even years tracking down expensive mint originals I would go for it. Very nice sounding set. If you listen to the video on Fremer's web site the original is marginally nicer but not enough to worry about. |

both the mono & stereo boxes sound excellent , not compared to originals due to cost of mint ones
