I've had this on vinyl for years, but the mastering isn't too good, so the CD remaster was eagerly anticipated.
Due to the recording circumstances, this was never a great recording, but the remaster is certainly a big improvement.
This isn't one of their best albums, but does perhaps capture the spirit of the Stones better than any of their others. Rough & ramshackle, there's a definite air of defiance to the songs.
Feels like they started the recordings with their customary bucket full of influences, and just kicked back and had a blast.
Should be compulsory...
