More Out of Our Heads
On this London LP, even though it says the record is electronically re-processed stereo, the songs we heard on side one were dead mono.
So much for believing what you read on album covers. (more…)

Listening in Depth
Lady Jane, Under My Thumb and Mother’s Little Helper are three of the best sounding tracks on side one — all three are lively and solid here. On side two Out of Time and I Am Waiting are especially well recorded.
DAVE HASSINGER rightly deserves the credit for the best sounding early Stones album — this one.
Although some songs sound amazing, not every track is well recorded. We just have to accept that the Stones are not The Beatles when it comes to the consistent quality of the earliest recordings. That said, a strong copy like this one paired with the great music on this album will certainly deliver a lot of pleasure to audiophile Stones fans.

Side One
Mothers Little Helper
Superb! On the best copies this track is so transparent you can feel the cool air of the studio.
Stupid Girl
Somewhat dark and compressed as a rule. (more…)
