The Mother (and Father) of All Box Sets! The Complete Rolling Stones!


My, oh, my, would you look at this? This has got to be the box set to beat all box sets - actually two box sets. All five decades of Stones albums in two Incredible Boxes! The complete Stones output available on limited-edition, numbered box sets. First set is the ABCKO records and the second set is everything released between 1971 and 2005. These are true limited-edition collector's items. All album artwork is reflective of the original releases. The Rolling Stones 1964-1969 180g 13 LP Box Set and 1971-2005 180g 14 LP Box Set: Pre-order them both now and have every essential Stones classic. Can you say, "Merry Christmas to me!"?

The first collection, The Rolling Stones 1964-1969 Vinyl Box Set, is a limited edition numbered collection that encompasses the Stones' early UK releases. The box set includes nine remastered Rolling Stones studio albums, two remastered EPs, plus two 'Big Hits' collections. The albums and EPs included are The Rolling Stones (EP), The Rolling Stones (UK), Five by Five (EP), The Rolling Stones No. 2, Out Of Our Heads (UK), Aftermath (UK), Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass)(UK), Between the Buttons (UK), Their Satanic Majesties Request, Beggars Banquet, Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2)(UK), Let It Bleed and Metamorphosis. The first five titles in the set are presented in their original mono format, affording, for the first time in years an opportunity for fans to enjoy remastered versions of the tracks "I Can't Be Satisfied," "Time Is On My Side" (Version 2) and "Down the Road Apiece" as originally released. It's the first vinyl reissue in decades for The Rolling Stones (EP), The Rolling Stones, Five by Five (EP), The Rolling Stones No. 2, Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) and Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2). Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) is included with its original octagonal cover and artwork intact. Metamorphosis is a component of the set; the album was first released in 1975 but is wholly comprised of tracks recorded from the early-to-late sixties. The inclusion of the band's original two `Big Hits' collections was mandated by the fact that UK album releases in that era most often did not include contemporaneously released hit singles.

And its companion, The Rolling Stones 1971-2005 Limited Edition Remastered Vinyl Box Set, is an individually numbered collection that encompasses four decades of Stones classics and the vinyl complement to the recent CD Re-Masters set. The box set includes 14 remastered Rolling Stones studio albums all on heavyweight 180 gram virgin vinyl, and four of which are double LPs including the recently reissued Exile On Main Street double LP, subject of a recent documentary and expanded Deluxe and Super Deluxe Edition box set. The albums included are Sticky Fingers, Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock `n Roll, Black And Blue, Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You, Undercover, Dirty Work, Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge (2LP), Bridges To Babylon (2LP) and A Bigger Bang (2LP). It's the first vinyl reissue in decades for Goat's Head Soup, It's Only Rock And Roll, Black And Blue, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You, Undercover, Dirty Work and Steel Wheels.
