@elsemusic I think that the mono is a fold-down for #BeggarsBanquet & #LetItBleed, though both sound very good.

It’s possible that Let it Bleed is a different mix from my UK stereo. I’m not a Stones nut, but understand it took a lot of detective work to track down tapes for the mono box set. Provenance for a lot of their early stuff is uncertain. Even if it is the same mix, it’s different mastering from what’s highly likely to be a very different source… Any of those things might be to blame.

From Miles to #TheRollingStones & #NowListening to #LetItBleed.

I’ve been on a Stones kick since I received the 2023 reissue of the mono boxset which has led me to compare that version with this, as far as I can tell (from the matrix numbers), an original UK stereo pressing.

I’d grade the cover as poor, but the record itself is VG and rises to the heady heights of VG+ through swathes of side A and most of side B. The mono is punchy, this spacious.
