Here you can check the sonic differences between two copies of the 1971 album “Sticky Fingers” by The Rolling Stones, using “Brown Sugar”, the opening track, as test subject. Both records are reissues from the mid-70s, but the release years are uncertain. It seems that the Canadian copy is from 1975 and the US copy is from 1977 according to Discogs, but there’s nothing in the database info that truly confirms this information.
