Doesn't matter whether you agree or not. Here is an excerpt from ABKCO's press release containing comments from Jody Klein. Hope this clarifies things for you."'Over the years, we have had many requests to re-issue these titles using the latest digital remastering techniques,' remarked ABKCO’s Jody
Klein who noted that the albums were first released in the CD format in 1986. Klein, who supervised the development of ABKCO’s The
Rolling Stones Remastered Series stated, 'Improvements in technology had only been incremental since then so we didn’t feel there was a
compelling reason to go back to the market with these classic albums--until now.' Klein cites DSD mastering which samples the
original audio signal 2,822,400 times per second, 64 times faster than standard CD encoding, as one of the main catalysts for the series. 'DSD
more accurately reflects the sonic quality of analog than any other medium so the depth one hears on these discs in standard or SACD
playback is quite amazing.'"
