    Got super lucky and found an absolutely perfect UK TML copy here in the States for a really reasonable price…but I might have to seek out the German pressing now. I’ve been in the same boat as you and your friend in trying to find a nice copy sonically, so thank you for the info! Such a great album

      Can you please do 2pac’s 1995 classic album me against the world because it’s 2pac’s most introspective effort to date. Hitting the shelves while he was still in prison, the album helped shift his image from that of ganngsta rapper to more of a gangster poet, setting the stage for 2pac to become one of the most famous mcs in the world.

      Both the UK and German 1st pressings have TML in the deadwax, so any sonic differences are either extremely minimal or the listener’s imagination

    It's the German TML A3/B3 that is the best for this record. He's right too, the German is better than the UK.
    Mine was basically mint when I found it. In an antique shop, sitting on a chair. I asked the lady running the store, "Oh, I loved Andy Warhol, bought it for the cover. Played side one once".
    I picked it up, thought it sounded great. Better than any other version. Had no idea why till a few years later......

    Beautiful assessment. Not a real tech guy even though I'm a musician. Always felt Charlie wasn't loud enough, so maybe that bass-y sounding pressing is the one for me.

    • @top5records796
      @top5records796  Год назад

      Well the bassy one (the MFSL) really messes up the balance. Also; the definition of the bass is not so good.

    LPCent 38 Virgin UK repressing 1997….that’s a good repress it isn’t cheap, but it’s good. To my ears, it’s the only repressing that I’ve heard that can match the OGs. It’s damn good. I sadly don’t have a TML German pressing…😞

      @@top5records796 oh wow!!! I didn’t realize that. That would certainly explain why it’s good. If it’s going to have a digital reissue at least it’s Robert Ludwig that reissued it. I don’t know if they confirmed that it was definitely digital but I imagine it was. Regardless, it’s pretty impressive. It’s as good as any of the OGs I have. The Presswell OG sounds excellent. I recently purchased a Sonic pressing that I will compare (I hear that’s good). I’ve not heard a monarch. I’ve never heard a TML. I really want one but I never see them around. I’d be interested to hear how you think the Robert Ludwig reissue compares to it.

    I have a lot of different pressings of this LP and a 7 1/2 IPS Reel to Reel tape. The R2R is the best sounding format for me. The German (1st) A3/B3 T.M.L. is the best sounding vinyl. 2nd would be the UK and German A4/B3 T.M.L. Remember the UK & German both use the same plates. All masted by Doug Sax? I think so.

    Didn't Goats Head Soup get the Blu ray 5.1 treatment for the Super de luxe box set couple years ago, why not do the same for Sticky Fingers that might improve things a little, if any album deserves upgrading Sticky Fingers is that one album✋😎

      Interesting suggestion. I’m not always sure though what a 5.1 mix adds to the album. It can also tear it (literally) to pieces.

    Hot take, every vinyl pressing of this album sucks. I bought the 90’s Virgin CD and was blown away by the clarity and detail. I’ve had multiple US, UK, and German pressings and all of them sucked balls compared to the digital remasters this album has had. The closest vinyl pressing I could think of that has that same clarity is the Mobile Fidelity 1981 pressing, but that is unfortunately ruined by the ungodly amount of bass thats in that pressing. Which is why I hate 80s MFSL pressings. Its such a shame that in the 80s, MFSL had some absolutely legendary titles under their banner (Doors S/T, Sticky Fingers, Beatles catalogue, Led Zeppelin II, Cosmos Factory, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, etc) but all of them are completely ruined because of Ricker’s mastering

    • @top5records796
      @top5records796  Год назад

      I agree on the 80s (and some 70s) MoFi pressings… they are often horribly EQ’d.
