"In 1994 Virgin Records released the first ever reissued, remastered catalog of the Rolling Stones. It was even remastered by long time audio genius Bob Ludwig.
In 2009 the Rolling Stones decided they would covert to UMe records and release new remasters of their albums. This immediately forced the 1994 Virgin albums out of print and made them a huge collector's item.
The reason the Virgin reissues are so sought after today, is because the 2009 remasters are shit. Check my Super Remasters Li"
"Mick Taylor
Without Mick Taylor the Stones would not have held their ground for so long as one of the top 5 bands in the world. He was the missing piece they longed for and ever since his departure, they've never been able to re-grasp that dominant Blues tone they were built for.

Now out of print, the 1994 Virgin reissues of the Stones 70's period seems to be quite a collector's thing, and they range in pricing when trying to get a hold of them, thanks to the utter shit remasters they released in 2009.
There are 2 sets of Virgin reissues, and I'm going to tackle both of them. There is the "Limited Edition" pre"
""Drummer Charlie Watts remembered the origin of Sticky Fingers as being Mick Jagger and the songs he wrote while filming a movie in Australia. "Mick started playing the guitar a lot," Watts said. "He plays very strange rhythm guitar . . . very much how Brazilian guitarists play, on the upbeat. It is very much like the guitar on a James Brown track — for a drummer it's great to play with." The album has tough, straight-up rock, such as "Brown Sugar" and "Bitch," but also finds the Stones expand"
