The first Stones album in the US! Now available in high-fi from HDTracks. As stated on the HDTracks website, this version of the album is taken from the SACD version of ABKCO Record's Rolling Stones' London-era remaster series from August, 2002. The HDTracks webpage explains how Bob Ludwig mastered the SACD release based on the best available mono and stereo studio master tapes. It suffices to say that this is probably the best that this album has ever sounded! I remember listening to England's Newest Hitmakers as a kid on a tapedeck and thinking that it sounded so much more 'primitive' than the more recent stuff by the Stones.
