      Very good sound quality. Much better than the USA copy I had.

        Excellent sound. As for quality of the tracks, I mostly agree with Gronk73, but I must add the wonderful Steve Wonder-penned I Don't Know Why as a personal favourite and another highlight.

            I have a copy of this record however the label is in pink and it says on it factory sample not for sale. Does anyone know anything about this?

              The mid-'60s demos are unremarkable (with the exception of the Richards/Oldham composition 'I'd Much Rather Be With the Boys', a nifty little song even if it wasn't right for the Stones), but I'm giving "Metamorphosis" three and a half stars for the sweeping orchestral version of 'Out of Time' (far superior to the version on "Aftermath", in my humble opinion), Bill Wyman's mock-woeful 'Downtown Suzie' (one of only two Stones songs written by Wyman to be given an official release), and 'I'm Going Down'. The latter sounds like a finished track except for Jagger's tentative vocal, and the sax (Bobby Keys) and percussion (Rocky Dijon) are especially nice touches.
