We all have different musical tastes of course. I pretty much like every song on Live at Leeds. As for the Stones, I have yet to hear or own any of their LPs that sound worth a damn. I don't own any of the British copies though and if they are the ones to get, someone please enlighten me on which ones sound really good.
Sorry for the thread drift, but since mep asked and it is his thread...
For every early Stone's LP up to Between The Buttons, the Decca unboxed mono (red label) is the way to go. There are a bunch of variations which will tell you which pressing, so it pays to do your research.
"Out of Our Heads" -- I keep going back and forth between the original Decca unboxed mono and the UK export unboxed mono (i.e. the Clearasil cover). If you want 'Satisfaction' (pun intended); go for the export version. The original UK version sequencing is more coherent...
I won't comment on "Satanic Majesties Request"; it's a love it or hate it lp.
"Beggar's Banquet" and "Let It Bleed" sound best with the Decca unboxed stereo (blue label). "Let It Bleed" is actually a really well recorded LP.
"Sticky Fingers" - Prefer the original UK pressing (COC 59100) over the US release
"Exile on Main Street" - I prefer the original US pressing COC-2900
"Black and Blue" - It's a toss up between the original US and UK releases. One of their better sounding recordings and underrated LP IMO.
"Some Girls" -- I slightly prefer the original UK (especially the mix of 'Miss You') but the original US release is a little punchier. Well recorded except 'Before They Make Me Run'..which is, of course, my favorite song on the LP!
"Emotional Rescue" -- Original US release is the one to get. Probably their best sounding record and underrated. "Down in the Hole" is one of their best recorded pieces.
"Tattoo You" -- Fremer seems to like the Japanese pressing (Toshiba ESS 81455) but it sounds dry to me. I prefer the US release COC 16052 -- more ballsy.
Keith Richards "Talk Is Cheap" -- Great sounding LP. So damn good, it made Mick give up his ill-fated solo career.
That should get you started.
