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

Not really trashed but the price of originals of voodoo btb and abb for decent enough copys are around 100 each so for 70 more for 12 more albums isnt too bad

 

It sure was. I liked it, many thought a monarch (I think) original was better, but as I'm sure you know, minty originals are hard to find.

 

Also has a great gatefold image.

 

And the other half are GREAT!

 

You are the voice of reason in every Stones thread!

 

I bought it and like it. I bought a monarch years ago and think it's better but as you point out a NM monarch is hard to find and pricey.

 

Remastered for vinyl from the original master tapes for the first time? Was the previous box not remastered from the original master tapes?

 

That’s because the files were terrible.

 

'Sourced from the original master tapes'
According to the NME article.

 

So the first test is whether or not "Fingerprint File" runs at the proper slower speed that is found on the SACD.

 

I seem to remember the last post 71 box set suffered from the use of compressed digital sources for all albums. This will have to be at least from hi-res flat transfers to be worth the money. Bet they use the same half speed mastering for Exile from 2 years ago. That isn't so bad as some think with more capable playback equipment. Found the same with Blue and Lonesome. Still this needs better sources and mastering to justify a purchase.

 

I'm going to get suckered into buying this, I can feel it already. Damn you Keith Richards!

 

Yeah I'm definitely in. If it's done properly, it will be a perfect companion to the Mono box, making the 2008 boxes far inferior.

 

Yep, so we end up with 4 Stones boxes. Oh well, nobody's pointing a gun at my head.

 

Well what we need next is the live albums reissued

 

Actually, if we know the Stones, AND I THINK WE DO, it wont be long before a live box is offered. And, yes, I'm in.

 

Hard pass

 

I own them all and would respectfully disagree. Most of those later Records have two or three great tracks. But the rest .... they sit unplayed on the shelf

 

If this was going to be an Analog Productions 45 RPM set like the SRV Texas Hurricane set, then I'd be first in line ......it would cost a fortune, but hey, you only live once.

 

I've never seen the previous box sets in person.

Were they "true" to the originals (artwork, etc)? This could just be a license change, tour "item".

 

I would agree, it just seemed like the comment to make at the time.
I never cared much for BTB or ABB outside of a few tracks. Same with DW and SW. I do dig B&L well enough.

 

Give the shm sacd flat transfers to MFSL or AP for one steps......

 

It would be nice if they added a Stray Cats type lp set for all the non lp tracks, maybe not all the crazy remixes but tracks like The Storm and Jump on Top of Me. It would also be cool if the added the bonus tracks from Exile and Some Girls without the smashed mastering of the CDs.

 

Pulled the trigger on this over at Amazon UK. Price says 370.94 pounds but when I finalized the purchase it was 309.12 pounds.......

 

I guess it’s because they discount the taxes
