Ed Stasium is a brilliant engineer, definitely, but Andy Johns & Jimmy Miller were so instrumental (no pun intended) in defining the iconic 1970's rock album sound that it does them a tremendous disservice to judge Exile or Sticky Fingers etc by their "sound quality" alone.Sometimes I love to put on Sticky Fingers with my swanky electrostatic headphones & listen closely for the glitches and snafus that would beconsidered "engineering fuck-ups" by nearly any recording professional if they snuck by on a major label release today. (and you don't have to listen *too* closely to find glaring examples!) It's almost laughable
...because IT DOESN'T MATTER. The music is still so incredibly visceral, powerful, and ultimately enjoyable, that I can't imagine hearing it any otehr way. I definitely don't think that record would be "improved" if those abberrations could be eliminated. Likewise for EOMS; the warts are part of the charm.
