" I suspect that the current release sounds awful due to poor remastering and some "chemistry" used by Sony (DSD is the trademark of Sony & Philips). As a typically digital company, Sony made this record from digital sources and apparently used digital sources."DSD is a process for capturing digtial information, just as PCM is. It is the way sound is carried on SACDs and, away from silver disc, is one of the formats used for high resolution digital audio.
Sony will have had no hand at all in making the copy of Beggars Banquet. They are (or were) the patent holders with Philips of the DSD process technology only. It may very well have been that none of their ( or Philips) equipment was even used in the production of this disc as other manufacturers licensed the process.
The disc is from Abkco Music and Records Inc. who are the current owners of the Stones repertoire from that era. If you don't like the sound then they are to blame not Sony. Abkco digitised the analogue master tapes and originally issued them as SACDs. What you have is an LP cut from those tapes. Incidentally I have all of the SACDs and they sound very good indeed. I am playing Beggar's Banquet from the SACD as I am writing this. However that does not mean that the LP is necessarily equally good.
