(CNN) -- Lovers of high-fidelity audio are about to get some satisfaction.

The Rolling Stones plan to sell high-quality downloads of their first 27 records for the first time online.

The premiere batch of five went on sale Tuesday for $20 or $30 each depending on sound quality. The rest will debut on the first of each month until September, said representatives for ABKCO Music & Records, which owns the rights to the band's early recordings, and its retail partner.

To sell the high-definition digital music, ABKCO has saddled up with HDtracks, a small online retailer that specializes in primo-quality albums. The agreement isn't exclusive, but the deal was natural because HDtracks is one of the few websites that currently targets the "audiophile" niche.

Professional music producers generally capture studio recordings in a 24-bit, high-fidelity audio format. But before the originals are pressed onto CDs or distributed to digital sellers like Apple's iTunes, they're downgraded to 16-bit files, which audiophiles say don't sound as good.

HDtracks may have some competition from the paid-download giants soon, however. Apple and other Web retailers are in talks with major labels about offering high-quality songs, music executives said.

ABKCO has also been talking to the top music sellers about high-def music, starting as early as three years ago, said Jody Klein, the record company's CEO since the death of his father Allen in 2009. Early on, "We went to the digital providers, and they couldn't handle it at the time," he said.

HDtracks already has a deal in place with the Universal Music Group, the biggest of the four majors. The Rolling Stones signed with Universal in 2008 after a long stint with EMI Music, though the band's new label hasn't listed any Rolling Stones music on HDtracks.

Universal periodically sends HDtracks some of its artists' albums on hard drives or over secure internet connections, said David Chesky, co-founder of the three-year-old music website. The site has some 5,400 albums and 100,000 customers, with classic rock, classical and jazz being hot genres, spokespeople said.

HDtracks customers will need to make room on their own hard drives because each 24-bit album takes up about 2 gigabytes of computer storage, which is the size of a high-definition film on iTunes.

"If you're cooking and jogging and all that, then MP3s are cool," Chesky said. "HDtracks is not for people who want to swap little files and all that. They're big files."

"It's going to bring you as close to the artist as you can get," he added. "You're going to hear the artist breathing."

ABKCO tested the waters with a stable of Sam Cooke records that were made available on HDtracks last month. "Our artists make the records, and our job is to deliver them the way that the band heard them when they first cut them," Klein said.

Fans may have some expectations about how the Rolling Stones tracks will sound. The HDtracks releases are based on remasters that were pressed on Super Audio CDs between 2002 and 2004. These CDs are no longer being made, but ABKCO is considering producing another batch, Klein said.

The Rolling Stones are the biggest act to offer most of their catalog on HDtracks. The band was the fifth highest-grossing touring group last decade, according to a report from concert research firm Pollstar, and have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide.

But the Rolling Stones aren't the only group from the '60s British Invasion that's graced the store's catalog. Paul McCartney started selling an uncompressed version of "Band on the Run" on HDtracks last year, and Ringo Starr also sells albums there.

The Beatles' remastered catalog was sold first on CDs and then exclusively on iTunes. High-quality versions of those albums are only available on apple-shaped USB drives sold by EMI and Apple Corps., the band's homegrown label.

Like those Beatles songs, HDtracks files generally require special software to play and cannot be transferred to a portable music player without first downgrading the sound and reducing the size of the file.

Two compilation albums, Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass) and Through The Past Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) are also part of the initial ABKCO/HDtracks Rolling Stones releases. Big Hits covers the band’s top selling singles released from 1964 to early 1966 including "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "The Last Time," "As Tears Go By," "19th Nervous Breakdown" and "Get Off Of My Cloud." Through The Past, Darkly includes such Top Ten hits as "Paint It Black," “Mother's Little Helper," "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?" "Ruby Tuesday," "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women."

Forthcoming releases in the series include: Out of Our Heads (both US and UK versions), December’s Children, Aftermath (both US and UK versions), Let It Bleed, Between The Buttons (both UK and US versions), Beggars Banquet, The Rolling Stones Singles Collection, Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out!, Their Satanic Majesties Request, The Rolling Stones (US version a/k/a England’s Newest Hit Makers) Hot Rocks, More Hot Rocks, The Rolling Stones Now!, Got Live If You Want It!, Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass) (UK version), Through The Past, Darkly (UK version), Metamorphosis, Flowers and a compilation of three UK EPs – The Rolling Stones, Five by Five and Got Live If You Want It!.

Jody Klein, ABKCO Music & Records CEO, remarked, “The release through HDtracks of these ABKCO Rolling Stones titles means that fans can enjoy the sheer raw power of the music exactly the way the band recorded it and intended it to be heard.”

“This ABKCO Rolling Stones collection in high resolution is a combination of the utmost care in re-mastering, the best technology in A/D conversion and the highest resolution files available on the web. Our goal is to bring out every musical nuance that occurred at the original recording session and deliver it to your home for your musical enjoyment,” says David Chesky, HDtracks co-founder.

ABOUT The Rolling Stones:
Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, Mick Jagger Keith Richards, Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts formed the original lineup of the Rolling Stones in London in 1962. Their earliest recordings featured churning renditions of R&B cover songs, pulling material for their repertoire from a host of American blues legends like Willie Dixon, Howlin’Wolf, and Muddy Waters, whose song “Rollin’Stone” is the source of the band’s name.

The Rolling Stones came together during a period in music history when The Beatles had launched the all-continent-conquering British Invasion, but then quickly showed the world that like the Beatles, they too were to be no flash-in-the-pan pop group. These were the original bad boys of rock and roll, and they presented a rough and tumble, edgier alternative to the squeaky-clean image of mop-tops and bubblegum pop stars even when they first made the scene, leading members of the press and concerned parents everywhere to ask, “Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone?”

These nascent rockers exposed the darker side of America’s blues underbelly to middle-class teenagers who soon became enamored of the raw energy and sound The Rolling Stones produced in the studio and onstage in their increasingly rowdy concert performances. While ardent admirers of the blues and strongly influenced by them, the Rolling Stones made each cover song their own and were largely responsible in the early days for giving rock & roll its rough image and driving, distorted sound.

With nearly five decades performing behind them, the Rolling Stones remain one of the longest-running musical groups in history and show no signs of letting up anytime soon.

The Remastering of the Rolling Stones

"Many years of research went into locating the original mono and stereo analog tapes that would be used in ABKCO's Rolling Stones Remastered Series. That research revealed a treasure trove of first generation tapes - true stereo masters from The Stones' 1964 Chess Studios sessions including the unedited version of "2120 South Michigan Avenue," Beggar's Banquet at its correct speed and Let It Bleed with splicing that indicates that the original intention was to leave little spacing between each cut.

For the analog to digital transfers, vintage reel-to-reel tape machines were utilized - a modified Ampex 351 with original tube electronics (full track mono and two track stereo) and an Ampex ATR-102 modified with Aria Discrete Class-A Electronics (full track mono and two track stereo). A Sonoma DSD digital audio workstation was the chosen high resolution format and Meitner Design ADC8 and DAC8 MKlV converters were used for the conversion process. Cables used were the cryogenically frozen type supplied to us by Gus Skinas of Super Audio Center. Gus also provided much guidance to Jody Klein, Steve Rosenthal and myself for our first time use of DSD technology. For this HD Tracks release, the Bob Ludwig mastered DSD files were converted to both 176.4kHz and 88.2kHz high resolution PCM with Weiss Saracon conversion software."
