$39.00
ETERNAL GROOVES – 1 CD
●Includes all the unreleased stereo versions of the Stones!
●Reviving the masterpieces that were only officially released in mono!
●Surprisingly high-quality sound from the new master that conveys the charm of the early Stones!
The voices that say “The Stones are good at their best” will be silenced, as the essence of the band groove can be heard because of the high sound quality. Charlie’s beats are close to Bill’s thick bass sound, and the R&R magic that only “stereo” can give you will jump into your ears!
In the early days, the Stones recorded singles and LPs at multiple recording studios, including Decca Studios, Regent Studios, Chess Studios in the United States, and RCA Studios in the United States, due to the wishes of their talented manager, Andrew Oldham.
At that time, mono mixes were the mainstream, and singles were often not even released in stereo mixes.
In addition, perhaps due to the label’s stance that singles were basically released only in mono versions, the current catalog albums that were remastered in the CD era are a mixture of mono and stereo, leaving the extreme confusion unattended.
However, there are stereo mix masters for singles such as “Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?” and “The Last Time,” which have not yet been released in stereo, and they are all included in this album.
Furthermore, when the album was released on CD in 2002, the stereo masters of some songs such as “Around The Around” and “Confessin’ The Blues” had an incredible defect in that the sound at the beginning of the song was distorted, but this album uses a master without any defects, and the wishes of long-time fans have been realized.
What is surprising is the amazing sound quality. You will be amazed at the quality, which exceeds the official sound quality.
It is only with the stereo mix that you can understand why Brian’s acoustic guitar is essential for Keith’s fuzz intro in “Satisfaction.”
The current mix of “Mother in the Shadow,” which the members themselves were dissatisfied with, can be understood only by listening to it in stereo. “The 19th Concentration” has an intro played by Keith and Brian overlaying a Bo Diddley-esque bass riff, which can be heard clearly in the left and right separated stereo version.
“As Tears Go By”, in which Mick sings simply over Keith’s acoustic guitar, also has strings spreading to the left and right midway through, and the sound image is sure to bring tears to fans’ eyes.
This is the lost “ultimate stereo master” of the early Stones, and should be enjoyed by true fans.
