Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones album. I have been umming and ahhing about buying this album on vinyl for about a year now, ever since I spotted it on Amazon for a tenner.

Wondered if the re-mastering process to digital then burning back to vinyl would be beneficial or mess up the original.

Was about to buy when it went up to 15 quid, so I didn't.

It's back to a tenner now so I bought it.

This is just my opinion, I'm no expert, all I have to go on is if something sounds good to these somewhat ageing lugholes.

The sleeve is good, inner sleeve has all personel details for each track and the vinyl is medium weight heavy.

And it sounds good, very good. I'm not quite sure how to describe things but I can pick out each and every instrument and they have a lot of presence. It's clean, or as clean as a Rolling Stones record from that period can be.

For me, hugely enjoyable. Any fears it was going to sound clinical or lifeless have been dispelled. Well worth a tenner, in my humble opinion.

I only have three new albums on vinyl, this one, Stax Hits 1968-1974 and an album by a late sixties/early seventies band named Audience 'Friends' Friends' Friend.

And they all sound good to me.

Very good, just to prove digitizing doesn't necessarily have to ruin things. It is possible.

It sounds good anyway without the re-pressing does it not? I cleaned mine a while ago and its still sounding awesome.

'Let It Bleed' is an album I've owned in one form or another since more or less the day it was released.

My last (original) vinyl copy wore out and so I'd played it on CD/mp3/FLAC.

Then I saw the vinyl reisuue, remastered, for a tenner and thought I'd have me some.

I was just pointing out the reissue is really rather good

I got another new album recently (as opposed to used) Black Sabbath's 'Master Of Reality'. And it's on red vinyl. Woohoo.

Great album

Got an original one here, C/W poster. Could do with a wash though
