Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

Very decent work, still relevant nowadays.
The Stones are legends.
I'd agree with the previous comment, this is only really for those, like me, are Rolling Stones completists. Not for the casual listener as it was recorded at a lime when they were still finding their feet.
Intriguing archival release from the Stones featuring recordings the band made for the BBC during the early part of their career. All the classic rockers are there including never before heard versions of the Stones tackling, Roll over Beethoven, and, Memphis, Tennessee. The sound quality sinks a few times especially on, It's all over now, and others. In fact I'm a little surprised by how bad the audio is in places. Still, it's an enjoyable document of the band just before they started to write some of the greatest rock songs in history. For die hards only though, to be honest.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
