    Superb pressing. This album's production is some of the finest of the '80s, and this release really lets it shine. Really cheap to find in great condition as well!

      Just grabbed a NM for only a few bucks.
      Sounds fantastic.

        Side 2 might be the best Stones side of all time.
        • alberockn's avatar

          The production alone propels Tattoo You as one of the Stone's best. Every great Stones record has a classic song that's very un-Stonesy, and in this case it's the etheral Heaven. This is by far their most dynamic sounding record. If you like the rockers, checkout Undercover because it's not nearly as bad as some say.

            One of my favorite albums. Love the songs on this. The sound is very raw and low budget (IMO) but the pressing makes it sound great. After this album it seems things go downward from there...IMO>

              May not be the Rolling Stones best album musically speaking, but is absolutely the best sounding. just jaw dropping how good this sounds.

                Great album. Great sound and space. Robert Ludwig mastered pressing.

                  This is a good sounding original pressing, and, for me at least, the last great Stones album. "Heaven" doesn't really sound like them, but I dig it. My copy is plays nice and clean with occasional faint surface noise.

                    Slave is a masterpiece with the Hammond organ in background!

                      A sealed copy just sold for $398.00. I don't understand as NM copies routinely sell for $10-20. Something seams fishy.
