I've gotta say....the half-speed remaster of Sticky Fingers is pretty bad IMO...maybe the album was just not recorded well but I was expecting the half-speed to sound better. It's just kinda....dull.

Gotta say the only good stones half speed master is the exile one from a few years ago that comes with the fauxbi and certificate thingy. That’s really good, if a bit too hot. The OG Goats Head Soup that I got for not much money earlier in the year blows all the new ones I have out of the water.

I certainly wouldn't say it is an audiophile recording, but I wouldn't describe my orignalish copy as dull, so if I were you, I'd try to find a good deal on eBay eventually.

That is disappointing to hear. I just ordered a copy in hopes of an upgrade over my 2010 reissue. I held off on the 2015 half-speed because I heard it wasn’t worth the upgrade I guess it was wishful thinking to assume this one would be better. I probably just need to bite the bullet and try to find a VG+ copy of the OG. Bummer.
 

I own an OG of this and I've always been shocked at how much it goes for. I don't ever really spin it, I love pretty much all of their albums (Leisure is aight) and I have the MIMR single. I also have Fool's Gold, so underrated. I agree with @Joe Mac -- not enough Modern Life on there. It's my favorite too.

For anyone who wants to chase down a "best pressing"

Hard to say what will come up now, but because of how many similar issues of the stones albums there were in the 70s, it was pretty easy for me to find a good deal eBay a few years ago. It is trickier for some people to tell if it is a first pressing or not.

Look at the bottom text on the ATCO label. Bold text 1841 B'way is supposed to be the best. If the address is 75 Rockefeller, it is after '74. Non-bold 1841 Broadway spelled out is in between. Got mine for $20 or under when really flashy listings of the 75 Rockefeller were selling for much more. Probably a little pricier now.

I did a quick search and saw a good one that even stated first pressing that sold a couple weeks ago for $32, but plenty of 75 Rockefellers that sold for more. 🤷‍♂️

If you don't care, just don't mind me. :p

I have no desire to snag a whole cube's worth of Rolling Stones records, but I love the precision with which certain presses are regarded for sounds/value. Things like this make me love this hobby.
 
For those that live in Nashville, this is a cool promotion they are doing for the new Margo price record.

Ha! Nice marketing, that’s a great idea

Maybe it was just my copy...but I think @Crabbers had a similar issue? I was hoping it would be good too...I have a few other half-speed masters (The Specials and one or two others) and they sounded great to me.
