Rolling Stones Studio Albums 1971-2016 Vinyl Box Coming June 15th*

^ All Killer!

Listened to a fan podcast about the new box set, mentions the 1/2 speed process+ how it affected Exile, and quotes Showell's e-mail from this board (discussion starts about 17:10):

Episode 8: 2018 Preview — feat. No Filter, From the Vault ’99 & Vinyl box

 

I just saw that. Their typo not mine.

 

Thank for posting that, I enjoyed listening.

 

Interesting. Amazon UK have this box now as unavailable. I have a preorder.

Sold Out for their allocation?

 

Quite possible there has been a surge of interest and sales, given that the Stones are currently touring the UK.

 

Certainly seems like it.
wow.
if it sticks for another week it might be true then that it is only 5000 units.

Interesting

 

Thanks, good listen.

A little concerning is that they rave about the 1994 Exile vinyl, and if I recall, that was the one that literally had no highs on it at all.

 

Apparently at some point the '94 was messed up by the pressing plant, but I don't personally have that one to confirm this

The Blu-ray Pure Audio version has a bunch of clarity and transparency; if indeed that is the same hi resolution source being used for the new box, then I think we're in for a real treat

 

I had it.

And yes, it sounded more like a grave error than a mastering choice.

Agreed this new one has the potential to be VERY good!

 

Yup, I had that one. Offloaded it in a hurry.

 

This appears as available for pre-order again at Amazon UK.

 

I read somewhere that the vinyl will be pressed at MPO in France. Is that correct? Is this also the case for the copies distributed in the US? Thanks!

 

Anyone who can shed some light at this?

 

Store Universal Music Germany

 

The hipsters will pop the man buns

 

oh good lord do i need this? yeah, probably. sure. ok. yeah.

 

But does that mean MPO is pressing for the whole world, or just EU distribution?

 

This was my question too. And if pressed in US: is it likely that the quality of the products is equal or better than the quality of MPO?

 

Box Alert!
New code for CCMusic as seen in the 'discounts' thread, YOUNG20.
If you live in a State with no sales tax it brings the New Box set down to $345.
Cheapest so far. And if this really is only 5000 units world wide, it should sell out within 2 years and if the sales
are brisk don't expect future discounts.

I got mine for $317 shipped at Collector’s choice with the 20% off code that was posted here. Thanks to whoever posted that. Sorry; forgot who it was.

 

Nothing new I guess. The previous code was ELVIS20, with the same discount as the YOUNG20 code.

 

i'd be surprised if they weren't all pressed at the same plant for the world.

 

Didn’t your read of the tea leaves also result in sagely advising us to scoop up the Exile 1/2 speed before it became unavailable?

 

I understand one pressing lane for the entire run. And no I don't have a source or link...
