The Rolling Stones - Studio Discography -FLAC- A Comprehensive Collection of the Legendary Rock Band's Studio Albums
- Universal Japan SHM-CDs (2006-2010): Avoid these if possible. These are heavily compressed and brick-walled (specifically Let It Bleed, Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St.). They suffer heavily from the "Loudness War" and cause ear fatigue compared to older masters.
- Consistency: In large "complete discography" torrents, tagging is often a headache. You may find inconsistent artist names ("The Rolling Stones" vs. "Rolling Stones"), different album art sizes, or mixed-up years.
- Artwork: Expect high-res folder art (typically 600x600 or higher) included, which is a major advantage over streaming services for local library collectors.
