Does anybody know how to add both versions to one’s library? I added both, but only one shows up in my library.

I have yet to hear a Stones surround mix that I like, but will give this a listen. I am assuming the tracks already released in Atmos (from Goats Head Soup and Tattoo You) have the same mixes here?

In the main (street) Afraid so...
Very conservative mix...
The odd tracks have more going on...
But
I'm very pleased it's been released

I just gave a quick listen to a handful or so of tracks not previously released in atmos. Living In A Ghost Town sounded like a real Atmos mix, but the others sounded basically like stereo upmixes.

Weird, One doesn't have a track 39 (Beast of Burden live), while the other has it but as "no longer available".

I’d agree, listening two songs in, hope it gets better……

Brown Sugar, Mick Taylor riffing in the right rear, sounds like sax solo in same place, but mixed low? There’s more sonic room to hear the bass lines, which is really something you never hear in Stones mixes

I think a fundamental problem is that the Stones original stereo mixes are so familiar and so iconic that it’s hard to ATMOStize them without changing the character of the song. So they go conservative.

Beat of Burden, lots of room to hear the details in Charlies drums. The guitar parts are a little more untangled. Nice

 

[Ephi82]

Wild Horses, mostly enhanced stereo, but every once and a while the acoustic guitar fills the surrounds…..I think it sounds good.

Hey, if it helps "Shine a Light" on Atmos, that's great. But personally, I will continue to satisfy my Stones jones in stereo...

 

[beerking]

After the Stoned I thought I would try this one....

I remember the first time I heard Tumbling Dice, summer 1972, on the jukebox in a small border town Kansas 3.2 beer joint.

Lowering the front mains by about 10 dB reveals the Nicky Hopkins piano track RR.

Listening in 5.1.0, interested to know what, if anything, is on the ceiling for the x.x.4 Atmos crowd on this release.

Not a huge amount going on above me bonce.
Not to say there isn't anything, it's just barely audible, at times.

Great album. The Atmos mix is true to the original mix in a good way. Some improvements made, but you can still tell it's from the late 80's (without getting annoyed). I think it sounds rather good. Tastefull use of heights and backs. According to classicpopmag.com the original producer Martyn Ware did the Atmos mix. Will enjoy this over the coming years.

 

[sjcorne]

I just skimmed through some of the Stones compilation, the stuff from Sticky Fingers sounds like it was run through Penteo or a similar process - the side surround speakers have whatever is panned hard left & right (such as the twin acoustic guitars in "Wild Horses") at about 75% volume, along with some remnant of the drums/bass/vocal upfront. On the other hand, "Miss You" has an isolated keyboard part in the sides. I'm not hearing much activity in the rear surrounds or the heights, it's mostly just the sides.

Also - "Heartbreaker" is definitely not the same as the Atmos mix found on Goats Head Soup, the backing vocals are now in the front instead of the rears
