Definitive Audiophile pressings

Do you have Black and Blue , the OG Japanese uses Sterling stampers , sounds real good ! Some Girls is another winner (sterling)

Just ordered a japanese pressing of Goats Head Soup. The first record I was looking to get a clean vintage copy of when I started delving into japanese pressings. 35 japanese records later, I finally found a copy.

Yes! I have both of those - they are indeed superb. The quiet japanese vinyl makes them really shine. As an added bonus, Some Girls is the original die-cut uncensored jacket too.
 
I noticed something about the Japanese Rolling Stones pressings I've been getting. Turns out all my favorites come from the ESS series (78-80?). Several but not all have the green obi. I have Some Girls, Black & Blue, Sticky Fingers and Emotional Rescue from the ESS series and they're definitely the best of the 6 I have so far. Beggar's Banquet and IORR are both excellent too, but not as great as the other four from the ESS series. The Goats Head Soup I ordered happens to be from this series as well (I hadn't noticed the pattern last night when I ordered though, but this is promising). Anyway, thought it was interesting - I haven't seen anything particular about this series so I'm curious if this is a thing.

What’s the better Beggars Banquet? ESS Japanese, DSD, or US London?
 
If you have a clean US they are probably similar, the upside of the ESS is silent playback, verses not so silent US vinyl . I only have ESS but from my research others say it’s as good as if not a bit better because of vinyl formula.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Is the consensus that the ESS Some girls is better than a clean US Monarch?

My monarch is super clean. I’ll have to get it out and give it a spin.

Plenty of Steely Dan talk, good to know KG is a huge fan 😎

AND he dispelled the rumor about the tapes burning up and said all still exist. Me thinks that AP series is legit.

Was going to tag you about that but hadn’t watched it yet! I think the multitracks don’t exist if someone wanted to do a remix vs a remaster and that’s what the whole “reward” thing was about
