Here is a trivia question: which Stones album features the faces of 6 stones on the front cover (Mick J, Mick T, Keith, Brian, Charlie, Bill)?

"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

Rolled Gold

"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

And His Majesty is also correct:



"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

.....it doesn't count, since it's not a UK/US release, but there's also the "Greatest Hits" double LP - which was a big seller in mainland Europe in the late 70s.

This goes to show that there was absolutely no need to remove the picture of Bill from "Rarities Vol. 1"

Allthough I find removing Bill Wyman from Rarities absolutely ridiculous, as well; none of the albumcovers posted above were made by Rolling Stones themselves, but by their ex-label

I'm sure Brian would have hated the Rolled Gold cover if he saw it back in '63.
Also kinda funny how Mick Taylor takes the center space on the Greatest Hits sleeve.

ive got this at home on a store bought cassette i got in december 1979 .well i asked my father to pick it up for me and he gladly did .wow i have not seen this in so many years .i know it's in the house somewhere .what a deja -vu !

Shows what little I know, I only had Metamorphosis in mind. Oh well..

BTW His Majesty, you are the fabled Aberdonian (fit like, min?) who unearthed the Capitol gig from 82. I have been trying to contact you offline.

What about 4 rolling stones on one cover? I know there is a belgian vinyl single with two pictures of Bill!

Why does it not count if it is not a UK or US release. What a load of rubish.

don't let my comment stop you from contributing with another 6-stones-cover

I meant that there are lots of compilations out there, meant for a single country or 2. Hard to keep track of all the bulgarian, german, romanian, chinese or russian compilations. They don't count as "major-releases"....that's all. I'm not from UK or USA either...so my posts doesn't count anyway
