It has nothing to do with the format. The AAC format sounds very good these days, it's just the way it's mixed,Quote

Keep in mind the SF live release is only available in iTunes AAC lossy format. Lossy compressed audio really alter the music. It makes everything sounds even and less focused. Maybe it would be better to wait for a proper release (as on CD or vinyl) to judge Bob Clearmountain mix.

I'm just hoping we get a proper DVD/CD release of this soon because I'm just getting too spoiled to subject my ears to bad sounding audio, no matter what the content is or the quality of the performance. SF is one of my all time favorite records and this is difficult to resist.

I don't think you can go wrong for $10, no matter how brickwalled and muddy the mix. 10-15 years ago I would have paid multiples of this for some sh#%#y bootleg recording done from the bathroom on a cassette tape (10th generation source), and I don't think I'm alone there. This particular gig is that big in terms of Stones shows. I think we're all getting spoiled these days.

I think the Sticky Fingers Live sounds pretty darn good. Ok, I am a vinyl guy, and love to collect. However, I do have a very nice DAC player that wonderfully converts to analog. And sounds pretty darn good. Especially Ronnie's slide work. Great stuff.

While I very much appreciate the first two long lost songs from the Leeds show, I have added these to my "Leeds Lungs" bootleg as it sonically blows the official mix and release out of the water...

Please explain, why! For me the new release is lightyears "better" (sonically of course) than the old mono-bootleg ...

scottkeef, which Leeds Lungs release do you consider the best? They're all mono, aren't they?

I always had the impression from my old bootlegs already that the Leeds sound got a bit worse in the last part of the recording.But I haven't really listened to it for some time.

Mr. Clearmountain ruined every Stones-Live-release of the last decades. Maybe he has lost his hearing or he simply doesn´t like guitars at all.
