Edited 8 days agoreferencing Bridges To Babylon (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Half-speed master, 180 gram) V2840
Is this re-issue any better than 2020 vinyl re-issue? Can anybody compare? -
referencing Bridges To Babylon (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Half-Speed Master. 180 Gram ) V2840
Just picked up a copy today. I think it sounds great. I’ve been happy with all of the Stones half masters done by Miles. I know others don’t like them but they sound good on my system (which is pretty modest) and to my ears. But I do agree with the others I wish it was a gatefold like some of the others that came out. But overall I’m glad to have added this to my collection. -
Are you sure that there is a #14 track (Angie) on this papersleeve shm-cd. according to ''more images'' it's not the case. Just wondering!?

It is very good. Clean discs. Punchy sound. Sound awesome when cranked up. I am glad I bought this. Seems this pressing is missing the "mpo" stamp which is fine. Might be early test pressings. There doesnt seem to be a ton of this runout. -

Sounds ok, kinda lifeless. It also lacks clarity compared to digital version. The top end sounds shrill, borderline distorted (might come from the pressing). No gatefold and stupid inner sleeves don’t make it better. -

Decent sounding copy for an album I’ve always loved, shame it’s not a gatefold though. -

Excellent reissue. A significant improvement over my original cd from 1997 (especially, regarding low frequencies). Good punch and dynamic sound. Just what I was looking for. -

ooh boy, what can I say about this Italian reissue? ...the packaging and inner sleeves are exactly like the 2020 Half Speed Mastering reissue, so I'm not complaining about it (Since the original 1997 release is exactly like that), about the vinyl records, they're perfectly flat, the thickness of the deadwax on the 4 sides of the 2 discs are the same width as in the 2020 reissue (they are not the same stamping matrix)..... now, the sound quality I must say that I agree with lop what other comments say in the Halfspeed Mastering reissue link, I'm not satisfied with the remaster, I feel that it lacks more VOLUME on the A1 side, the sound is clear, but I feel that it lacks "that sound punch" on the instruments. Summary: This album needs a sound upgrade and of course be reissued on vinyl. For the moment (everyone who likes this album) we will have to make do with these reissues. -

I bought mine from my local shop. Perfect flat wax and it sounds awesome. It's also the only US vinyl release so unless you want to pay about 3-5x more for an OG this is just fine IMO. -
Any comments on sound quality? Or comparisons to the European '97?
