- Listen to Gimme Shelter” off an original U.K. Decca pressing of “Let It Bleed”. Well sorry of. I explain in this video how a first lacquer ended up on the second “Decca in a box” label and how this pressing, sourced using the 6th lacquer ended up with the original FFSS Decca label. And more… but this pressing sounds best of the ones I have.

370K. The law of diminishing returns in action.
The best Stones song, on the best medium, played on the best(?) turntable in the world.
1963 Was an AMAZING year for me. I was 13 and we left our wee tiny island in Shetland to arrive in Detroit, Michigan. The very day before we left for America I heard the most amazing music! So AMAZING I decided I had to learn to play the guitar, an instrument I never saw, for real, outside of a magazine; being from Shetland I played FIDDLE! My friend who had a wind-up victorla, who loved Rock-n-Roll -- I hated R-n-R -- played me THE BEATLES!!!! OMG! They were/are still AMAZING. We lived in Detroit -- where I heard the next music that was AMAZING, MOTOWN! -- for almost a year, then moved out to our farm. Five years later I was in Vietnam -- that was AMAZING in a totally different way. Back then, kids didn't have money. You would look for bottles so you could get the bottle deposit money. Because of those DAMN BEATLES kids really became very interested in music. Not everyone had a record player. Not everyone could find enough bottles to buy a 45 let alone an LP. BUT, because of that your Mum and Da knew who you were hanging out with because when one of your friends would get a record all of those friends would go to that friends house and that kids Mum and Da would be able to see your friends and how you all acted. We missed SO MUCH of CULTURE when all that stopped. When we lost the actual ARTIFACT we lost our way! I still remember as if it WAS yesterday, the sounds, smells, the direction of the wind, EVERYTHING about the first moment of hearing The Beatles. That SPLASH sound as the record players arm and needle his the plastic, every pop and crackle of dust in the grooves, all of that made listening to records so much fun! I miss records.
A great song and that LP still sounds pretty darn good. Every time I hear this song and Merry Clayton lets loose the hair stands up on the back of my neck. I couldn't imagine it without her awesome voice.
Thanks so much Mr. Fremer. My wife and I just sat down to listen to this recording you did and we both agreed the clarity and musicality was something we’ve never heard in this song. Truly appreciate you doing this series of recordings and putting them up on youtube. Looking forward to what you put up next.
Michael Fremer! Lord of all that is vinyl! Thank you for sharing this marvelous pressing! Merry sounds amazing. Sure beats the hell out the portable record player we had in the dorm back in 1970!
Michael - I’m as deeply involved in analog audio as you, but you left me in the dust many years ago. Thanks for continuing to share!
Thank you Michael for your on going enthusiasm and commitment to vinyl.
The comments are always a good read, comedy gold.
What a beautiful turntable. Wow!
Sounds great to me. Dynamic and punchy, drums have great impact with a nice cymbal decay. I don’t think recordings have gotten that much better in 55 years.
Michael...I remember getting this record in December '69 (age 14) and hearing Keith's menacing opening notes for the first time. Fantastic album...and that beautiful turntable again!
I've been chasing the audiophile dragon for decades and there's nothing more fun than ripping through old favorites on a new rig. Nicely done
It's fascinating how this video attracts both bitter trolls with no understanding of the tech involved here or why it matters (because the review explain it has yet to be published) and people who appreciate how it sounds despite the CZcams compression.
Thank you for doing this Michael, we appreciate very much! You did a great capture job!😊
I try to get first pressings of lps I like so your informative intro was great. Always appreciated that you kept the torch burning for vinyl when so many were ready to ditch the format. Helped me keep my lps and add to the collection.
Michael, I’m enjoying these. Yes, some information you share is old news for some, but not for everyone. But you are also sharing other details that even some of us seasoned collectors have not heard. Keep it going. Thanks.
New to TrackingAngle, but man, it's fun, informative, and just generally pretty great. WIll be back for more! Thanks for recording.
Thank you Michael for your fabulous personality and a great passion for music. Greetings from Poland. 👍
Thank you very much for this video, the record sounds beautiful, good for at least another 55 years.
