yes and yes
Got it today. beautiful package (the cds are presented with the original sleeve artwork in a way that they just look like mini 7 inch singles)
Nice little booklet too. Not exactly cheap at £32 but definitely a "must" |

Got mine on order Gazza! Sounds great.
I believe this is a "limited edition" of 3000. Are the boxes numbered? Apart from the booklet I was under the impression there were also some "prints" included??
Cheers,

Theres three little photo cards too. I dont see any numbering.
You'll be happy to know that on the inside back page theres photos advertising the fact that "coming soon" are
two further instalments in this series - 1965-1967 and 1968-1971

This will be the fourth time I've purchased the "Singles Collection"!!
The vinyl set of 12 picture sleeve singles issued back in about 1980? Then there was the London Years Singles Collection in 1989 and the remastered SACD collection about 18 months ago.
Not to mention all the Greatest Hits compilations and individual original vinyl singles I've collected over the years.
I guess when you're a "fan" logic goes out the window!!
Cheers,
Mottrush

I'd like to own that, but for $70 (and that's the SALE PRICE), and about 2 CD's worth of material, I don't think I'll be buying this unless money starts growing on trees. not to mention if I got this, I'd have to get the other two sets. not happening any time soon. shame it has to be limited quanities - I'd like to be able to pick one up down the road, you know, long after the Stones stop touring(hopefully not anytime soon) and I never have to worry about buying concert tickets from them |

Have received this box last week, I bought it from a german guy on ebay for 40 euro including shipping cost to Holland.
And yes it's a great and nice looking box to have.
Can't wait on vol. 2 & 3 |

In the news section it says the box set is due out on 4 May. How did you get it before then? And is it the same box set of singles? |

>Gazza

Virgin megastore in Belfast
>In the news section it says the box set is due out on 4 May. How did you get it before then?
4th May is a Tuesday. I presume youre in the US as in America Tuesday is the day for new releases. UK releases come out on Mondays, not Tuesdays.
>And is it the same box set of singles?
Of course! its the Decca singles and EP releases from "Come On" up to and including "Got Live if You Want It" EP. Naturally those are the ones that would be released in the UK

I am in America. What is this box set called? There's one called the London Years, is this the same thing? I would think the one coming out here on Tuesday has a different name. Please tell the name of this new thing. |
|
|
| Main Offender |
Sorry, I was stupid. I went to amazon and I've ordered the box set. They say it will ship on 5 May and that fits with the date of release on 4 May. And I've answered my own question, it is not the London Years. |

I finally completed my collection of RS CD's last november (for a very anxious 6 months or so, try as I might, I could NOT find a copy of 'Love You Live', new or used. Finally, a second hand shop in Glasgow, who I would gladly plug if only I could remember it's name, ended my torment for only 5 pounds!) so when I saw that the honourable Mr Klein's fine and noble organisation had yet more repackaged product on offer, my first thought was: "Thanks, but no thanks, Al"
I've owned 'The London Years' for over a decade now, and the tracks not included there (EP only songs, Poison Ivy, Bye Bye Johnny etc) I cleared up when I got 'More Hot Rocks' two Christmases ago. In my opinion this is simply racketeering. The recorded sound can not be MADE any better than digital technology has already made it, given the limitations of the source material; And the 'faithful reproductions' of the original sleeves is surely a moot point when one need only look in the ads in 'Record Collector' every month to find the actual 45's in question for sale, in mint condition for fairly reasonable money.
So yeah, I'll probably buy it! |

Just checked; The Glasgow record shop which finally ended my search was 'Record Fayre', in Chisholm St. So thanks to them! |

Ok, I'll think about it. It looks very expensive. More of the same. |

It's incredible. I thought I could resist, but I see I'll have to buy it... Damn Allen Klein, damn Decca and damn the Stones for pushing the right buttons!

A real piece of crap. Saw it at Best Buy for $54.99.
They make it seem like it's an elaborate set, when in fact, the box is only a little over an inch deep.
All they did was stack sleeves on top of each other and threw them all into a little box.

Yeap! Is another way to say SACD. In fact, DSD is the Phillips' way and SACD is the Sony's way. It's all about copyrights  |

No, DSD is NOT the same as SACD. Read:
http://www.superaudio-cd.com/ (click on Technology)
http://www.dsdproaudio.com/html/dsd_sacd_explained.html
1) SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc) is a new format of compact discs wich basically enables to put more digital information on a disc than the "old" CD standard.
2) DSD (Direct Stream Digital) on the other hand is a new process used to encode music into digital format. It's said to be more faithfull to the original than former
So, basically, you can record and digitally encode music with the DSD technology, but you don't necessarily have to put it on a SACD! For instance, Decca released in 2002 their DSD-encoded remasters of the Rolling Stones early records both on SACD and on ordinary CD. |

I agree with Gazza. My stuff arrived and I'm happy. Expensive yes, worth it, yes. |

I think the money could be better invested in hunting down the ACTUAL 7" singles.
They CAN be had, you know. And at less expense than one might think.
Plus, so long as one has a half-decent whirlybird, they'll ALWAYS sound better than any CD, be it DSD, SACD SuperFabAmaziDiscCD or whatever the fuck Sony and all those other fucking pirates happen to be trying to push on us at the time....... |
