The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers 1971 [MFSL] ALAC (1-060 Viny

The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers [Mobile Fidelity - MFSL 1-060] Vinyl rip in 24-bit/96kHz | ALAC 1981 US limited edition Mobile Fidelity half-speed mastered 'Original Master Recording' audiophile issue of the 1971 10-track LP, pressed in Japan on High Definition Super Vinyl. Side 1: 1. Brown Sugar - 3:50 2. Sway - 3:45 3. Wild Horses - 5:41 4. Can't You Hear Me Knocking - 7:17 5. You Gotta Move - 2:32 Side 2: 1. Bitch - 3:42 2. I Got The Blues - 4:00 3. Sister Morphine (Mick Jagger/Keith Richards/Marianne Faithfull) - 5:34 4. Dead Flowers - 4:05 5. Moonlight Mile - 5:56 Pieced together from outtakes and much-labored-over songs, Sticky Fingers manages to have a loose, ramshackle ambience that belies both its origins and the dark undercurrents of the songs. It's a weary, drug-laden album — well over half the songs explicitly mention drug use, while the others merely allude to it — that never fades away, but it barely keeps afloat. Apart from the classic opener, "Brown Sugar" (a gleeful tune about slavery, interracial sex, and lost virginity, not necessarily in that order), the long workout "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and the mean-spirited "Bitch," Sticky Fingers is a slow, bluesy affair, with a few country touches thrown in for good measure. The laid-back tone of the album gives ample room for new lead guitarist Mick Taylor to stretch out, particularly on the extended coda of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking." But the key to the album isn't the instrumental interplay — although that is terrific — it's the utter weariness of the songs. "Wild Horses" is their first nonironic stab at a country song, and it is a beautiful, heart-tugging masterpiece. Similarly, "I Got the Blues" is a ravished, late-night classic that ranks among their very best blues. "Sister Morphine" is a horrifying overdose tale, and "Moonlight Mile," with Paul Buckmaster's grandiose strings, is a perfect closure: sad, yearning, drug-addled, and beautiful. With its offhand mixture of decadence, roots music, and outright malevolence, Sticky Fingers set the tone for the rest of the decade for the Stones.

wow, you really know your classics... you must be OLD. :P
Unfortunately i hate the stones, but I did have a look at your other excellent releases. Thanks!

Thanks for the upload. A great remaster of a great album! One correction however - These tracks are not 24/96; they are 16-bit/48 kHz. Maybe they started out 24-bit 96 kHz when you did the vinyl transfer, but somehow got converted to a smaller sample rate and size when they were converted to ALAC? This is still a great upload,
but not 24 bit 96 kHz files.

Confirmed the 16x48 bit rate. Please post here if you post an updated version with the higher bit rate (and especially if you do so in FLAC). Thanks.
