'Kill City' = 'Exile On Main Street'

THIS is the best version:



Sorry for the HUGE pic.

i think "Let it Bleed" is the best SINGLE disc Stone's album.

top to bottom.

i mean "monkey man" and "live with me" alone make it a classic.

i think sticky fingers is my favourite album by them, that or exile

got the definitive edition btw

- interesting note, this discussion has made me go back and listen to kill city, and i remember us discussing on another thread the difference between kill city the song on the album, and the one on a million in prizes which is remarkably cleaner and louder and rocks like a motherfucker, which lead some of us to believe it couldve been the legendary lost kill city master tapes or better quality recordings of it or something also the million in prizes one is 10secs longer than the album version


edit;
just listened to the million in prizes version, and theres no comparison, this has gotta be the lost tape, i wonder who put this out and if they know, we have to get easyaction on the case Kill City is screaming out for a 2CD or at least the original tapes, this thing rocks like a motherfucker indeed!

I never bothered buying A Million in Prizes because I already owned everything on it. Your post made me go listen to the short clip at the ITunes store and from that alone you can hear a HUGE difference in the two versions. I don't know if it's a lost tape, a new digital remaster or what, but I'd love to hear the whole album get this kind of treatment. Where are the Kill City master tapes anyway?

BTW - another reason that Kill City and Exile have a similar feel might be that on Kill City James Williamson started experimenting with open tunings ala Keith Richards.

In my opinion, the best Single Disc Stones album has to be "Let it Bleed".

While, I will agree, "Sticky Fingers" is it's closest competiter--a look at the respective tracklists makes the fact that "Let it Bleed" is superior to "Sticky Fingers" seem like a no-brainer. But, to each his own.

"Midnight Rambler" – 6:57
"You Got the Silver" – 2:54

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" – 7:30

Sticky Fingers
