#rollingstones #mono #boxset
I have the first album in mono, on vinyl -- found it in a thrift shop for a dollar. OMG, it is the best, the first thing I pull out when I fire up the turntable. I'm on social security now, but if you like the Stones and can afford the the box, by all means get it.
As someone born in ‘91, this is a great opportunity to get their 60s LPs in their original format. I’ll still try to hunt down originals, but this is a great collector’s item, nonetheless.
There's at least 20 reissues from 1960's Stones albums since 1981 when I start buying them . Okay about the first 4 ( including US editions) , but since Between the Buttons , Stones are way better stereo. Bad production ? Compare Beatles , The Who mono with Stones. Way different. Now if you wanna waste your money on booklets, color vinyls that's okay , but this was out long time ago. I think the best reissues are from 2000 when they finally toke over their Abkco (Decca- London ) , they improve their 60's catalogue . Still First , No.2 , Out of our heads and especially Aftermath still sounds not that good. After Between till Let it bleed they are good along with ( now named ) Stray Cats are good. Beside kids today won't get this , because they barely know Satisfaction or Jumping Jack Flash , times changed very much last 20-25 years . Kids don't get even The Beatles catalogue . I've spot that they barely buying the compilations like "1" or if they wanna Beatles or Stones , they go through streaming services . So this stuff are now collector's stuff only unfortunately... I was surprised when some 20 years old guy asked me is that same McCartney who plays Dance tonight and Hey Jude...hm. shame.this is the legacy. Different times , must admit.
@@Dmy602 people aren’t wasting their money with this boxset. They sound awesome and are a great opportunity to own it in the original format, which I value.
I’ve seen and listened to reviews comparing originals, early reissues, and the 2016 mono boxset, and the 2016 boxset holds its own. There is, of course, a certain ambiance that is lost because it’s not all analog, but they still sound great. And the tapes need to be taken care of, so I understand the decision-making.
It’s not until Beggars Banquet that the stereo versions of the albums are head and shoulders above the mono mixes. Anyway, I respect your opinion, brother, so thanks for sharing it ✌️
2 gripes with the box set no poly lined sleeves and the covers are not flip back 😮
Brilliantly done ! Love your reviews I can’t afford some of these but we learn a lot
Glad you like them!
Thanks for showing this one. I wasn't aware of its existence until now. I managed to pick up the original Mono box a couple of years ago. In my opinion the best part of it is the Stray Cats album. Well worth having if you're a serious Stones collector. Nice!
No problem!
If you're serious Stones collector , you should get all those over 100 legal live albums , mostly from the same tour same material which Keith says that's the biggest rubbish by the Stones ever , also get Stones bootlegs. There's over 2000. Make no sense , I'm collector as well , but some things make no sense. I've got this mono box since 2016 , except the package , don't really know what else is new and good there. Stray Cats album is an compilation from their complete Decca singles from Come on , all mono. No big difference if you have previous issues as the box set London Years , or Rolled Gold or Grrrr! . I thought the sound is at least improved , but no way. I think Mick and Keith really don't care what's pressing . Take Tatoo You deluxe edition. Disc 2 is okay , most of the stuff finally legal ,but the live album is the other gig from the American tour 81 , which you already have on Still Life. I mentioned The White album because the mono version is annoying , with slightly extended version of Yer Blues and there's no end on Helter skelter ( as the original mono mix which Martin did after the stereo) . Who need that ? Okay if you have money to waste . Got once , twice , man 3 , 4 , 5 , endless reprise of the same thing makes no sense at all. Best wishes to the author , as a fellow collector , I really appreciate you , but man , too much into nonsense prog rock bands . There's a Giants there , but not all of them , especially not everything by Jethro Tull. Congratulations on your opinion on Bowie Scary Monsters . Cheers and best wishes.
@@Dmy602 Ya, I've already got all that stuff.
@@Dmy602 As a longtime Stones collector, one of the cool aspect of the Tattoo You deluxe box is that the Wembley gig from 1982 contains a soundboard recording of Chantley Lace.
I've got it on preorder. Can't wait. 👍
I have that on CD. It was released a few years back, without a booklet. I definitely prefer the mono. Beggar's Banquet is my favourite Stones album from the sixties.
Hm , Beggars or Let it bleed . Both are awesome 👍 Got the CD box set as well , Japan issue with huge booklet , Stereo versions from Between the Buttons till Let it bleed are way better..
Amazing set.
Mono is great if you have the "depth" with it.Great example .The Everley Brothers and in particular "Walk Rignt Back"Alot of the early Little Richard stuff was mono but very bass note heavy.
Well said!
That looks lovely.
Thanks for the video. Im keen to hear how they sound.
I thought about pre-ordering this but instead I found a bundle of the new japanese mini lp cd version of these albums for under £100 every album from 64-69 in mono, too.
Did the same myself.. they sound great, vinyl is a digital transfer anyway
@@robertpannullo5687 yeah and plus I already have a few early stones records in mono so
ABKO own the rights to these Rolling Stones 1960's recordings in perpetuity, The Rolling Stones can't ask for the rights to be returned to them for any reason. ABKO bought the masters before The Rolling Stones realised that the rights for their masters were up for sale. So now if The Rolling Stones want to monetise their 1960's recordings, and limit at the same time ABKO's monetary gain, The Stones have to use what limited legal bargaining rights with ABKO they have.
But how do they sound?
I have mine in order…..time is on my side. Excited for it.
I never did like the toilet cover for Beggars Banquet.
One of the greatest album covers ever.
Very interesting Barry and the box set certainly looks great.Unfortunately I'm afraid that if I were to purchase it I would incur the wrath of my wife resulting me being in the dog house for a month.... not that we have either a dog or doghouse.Seriously though, great to at least see it so 'thank you'.
So since your first showing this box set please let us know how many will be pressed. I guess you don't know the # numbers are on the bottom of the box for the original something like this 00,XXX / 10,000. So this indicate your number and out of 10,000 copies worldwide.
Looks fantastic
Thanks for showing this fantastic collection ! A bit too pricey for me, I'm afraid. I'm wondering why High Tide and Green Grass wasn't included ? It wasn't included in the sets of a few years back, either.
Good question!
The cherry would have been actual flipback sleeves, but you can't have everything. Beautiful item though.
Decca in the UK didn't always construct 2 piece sleeves hence very few decca lps had flip backs, but they were laminated with clarifoil by the British celonese company.
very cool first look video! I preordered this box set last week and I'm real excited to get it. I wonder how many are being made (last set was 10k but maybe this one is less bc its different colors? idk)
I heard 10000, I got mine ordered
Nasty inner sleeves look paper 😳
Looks good, missing Got Live If You Want It and one of the versions of Between The Buttons.
And the US debut, "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out" and the two "Big Hits" compilations. The other two US albums are kind of redundant here. And they decided only to include the studio albums. Plus the "Big Hits" albums are covered with the "Stray Cats" compilation.
@@jameswilson7084 Get Yer Ya Ya’s out was never released in Mono, so wouldn’t have been eligible.
Got Live If You Want It! Was only ever an Export album. It was also not recorded at The Albert Hall and it does in fact contain many overdubs and 2 studio songs embellished with crowd noise to make them appear live.
@@john-lamarca Correct.
Very nice, thank you, but how it sounds?
I prefer mono on many sixties records.
The stereo mixes were often rather pedestrain, or just an after thought
@@classicalbum extreme separation sounds like the music was sawed in half. Mono was always a solid sound. Stereo was treated as a novelty by studios.
@@classicalbum And yet look what has been done with Revolver!
Really enjoyed the video but I was perplexed by the item. This is music as artefact to be admired not played. I am old enough to remember these albums been released and they were great at the time. But I also remember the joy when I upgraded my sound system, combined with stereo recordings, enhancing the listening experience. Also when would you find the time to work your way through this set? Maybe an argument for Spector in mono, but nothing else.
The original black vinyl mono box set came out as recently as 2016! So this appears to be a blatant cash grab using pretty colours as bait.

you got a turntable set up yet or are you just going to put it on the shelf and look at it?
No hard cover, cheap inner sleeves, so Rolling Stones are still second after the Beatles :-) I ordered mine month ago, lets see. Great preview video, thanks.
Why US versions? Why not issue with the original UK Decca versions, not the London/
versions.
It's mostly both, except for Between The Buttons.
@@christianfairhurst3877 December?
Rolling Stones from the 60s is so much better than their 70s material
True. But in retrospect, they had a much better '70's than I originally gave them credit for in the '80's.
@@jameswilson7084 Their early 70s material is still very good, but their 60s stuff is great
Respect as usual. Big deal if they're colored. I've still have London Years the box set of any singles As Vs and EPs collected , they sound way dynamic and clean than this issue. Same as Their Satanic. Not sure on Rolling Stones 1 and No 2. Any advert? Still vinyls are superior or just way expensive?
I could never afford this
Great review thank you. What number is yours so we can see how many this is limited to please
Cool, waiting on mine! How did you get yours so quickly!
Sent to me to promote
You mentioned, "there are very few of these". What is the total number of these limited edition sets that will be produced worldwide?
Not sure
@@classicalbum Just curious. I've already got my pre-order in.
@@classicalbum The box number is on the bottom of the box, the first issue did 10,000 copies, so the box was numbered like this xx,000 / 10,000.
are the records AAA? How do they sound?
I don't have a vinyl player
Because you received it does that mean it will ship earlier than January 20
No. I don't think so
Can you confirm the limited number on the bottom please, is it a run of 10,000 again ? So your number is ?? Of 10,000 on the bottom? Thanks 👍🏻
It’s not a sturdy sturdy box.
It’s good enough. But certainly not sturdy sturdy
Paper sleeves ? Come on….you’re right. For the price, poly-lined should have been an automatic. I hope your LPs are scratch free!
So since Alan Klein died who took over for his company do you know?
I don't
His son and daughter.
The first thing I’m going to do is ditch those sleeves. I hate those.
Appalling!
If the release date is Jan 20th then how come this presenter has a copy in his hands?
Awful sleeve repro. No 3D or original inner for …Satanic… No poster with Let It Bleed. Poxy coloured vinyl and measly 48 page book. Compare that with The Beatles box sets. No contest.
Covers are pretty nice actually, only real gripe is the missing 3D cover for Satanic. Who cares about a stupid reproduction poster.
Thanks for the review. Sorry though, but every time you refers to the records as “vinyls” I just cringe! 😬
Looking for Dark side of the Moon Mono . Help
If was never released in Mono
@@BigSky1 joking. They barely did Quadro. Laughing because of that infatuation with mono. Try Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells mono 😂
Yes I'll unplug one speaker and listen the destroyed White mono albums. Not sure about the Stones , don't have money wasting on this.
Big deal if they're colored . Otherwise respect.
