Heard this album again last night and really enjoyed it!  I have the 1994 remaster which sounds great!  I don't think the remastering can get any better than that!  Sounds the same as the 2002 ABKCO "Let It Bleed" or "Beggars Banquet" as far as remastering goes!  I'm only giving "Sticky Fingers" 4 stars...first of all because there are two songs I'm not that crazy over...  I find "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" a little drawn-out and annoying with the unnecessary (in my opinion) saxophone solo, "Moonlight Mile" has some good spots to it but I've heard much better from the Stones!  "I Got The Blues" is okay but it sounds like a re-make of the old "Sittin' On Top Of The World" blues/folk song.  The rest of the album is fantastic!!  Brown Sugar is a great selection to start out with and a great rocker!!  "Sway" and "Wild Hoses" are great too - All three deliver that classic Stones sound!  Another favorite is "Dead Flowers" a toe-tapping country-rocker which wouldn't be out of place on a Charlie Daniels album! "Sister Morphine" comes across to me like a sad folk song - reminds me a little of Bob Dylan's "Moonshiner" but still works great on this album!
So all in all this is a great album!  Not quite as good as "Beggars Banquet" or "Let It Bleed" in my opinion - but I would rank it at least in the top 10 of Rolling Stones albums!  I definitely recommend it!  And from what I read the 2009 remaster doesn't sound very well - they probably did a remaster on top of a remaster which overdid it!  Glad I stuck with the 1994 one!
