Weekend mp3s: Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones. Acetates [Midnight Beat, 1CD]. At BigO.
As fans delve deeper and deeper into the music of their favourite acts, it's not that infrequent that one comes across unofficial releases that sound way better than the official ones.
Take The Rolling Stones' Acetates for instance. Released from Midnight Beat in 1995, this is a collection of unmixed versions of tracks from Goats Head Soup (1973) and It's Only Rock'n'Roll (1974) plus Save Me and Drift Away. They are reputed to be taken from acetates but without any crackles. But it is the excellent sound that got fans excited.
