Susanne, I live in South America, more exactly in Uruguay and my medium family can't live 2-3 months with 800 dollars !!! May be 1 month. South America's not the same reality in its countries. However, it's a very very expensive book and I can't afford this money for a book as you, no doubt at all !
Thanks Aralla for your post. I was right on the point of selling my book and spend three months in Rio !!

I bought one concert shirt - back in 1989. I didn't care for the Voodoo shirts. And really, what does it matter anymore? I dunno.

It does not matter...just saying. I thought Charlie used to ok the merchandise but I can see no way in Hell that any of the Stones would think those shirts are quality.
The book looks like quality but the price is insane. Nice try Moouch Jagger!!!

I'm not too surprised about the price of the book - learned helplessness.
However, the interactive map link within the book's web site has an annoying typo - it lists the chicago venue as the "international theater" instead of "international ampitheater" - for that much money they should've hired some extra proofers.
i like this particular aspect of the web site - click on each subsequent pic to page through:

Yep Rock...only 800 sold.
And I'm not too surprised since Rhino put up the dough and has not done the best job of marketing to diverse buyers.
Love to have it but I'd want the one with the print and frankly I'd probably rather invest in a Matisse or Picasso small drawing.

Usually Genesis Publishing handles these types of specialty books with limited editions. And I admit I bought one a while back, Station To Station, written by Geoff MacCormack, who was in Bowie's band and I had met him, and he got me back stage to meet Bowie, so I really wanted that book as a keep sake. And it is beautiful. Having said that it wasn't as expensive by a margin, and Let it Bleed looks fantastic, but I just can't get my head around shelling out 650 bucks for it.

I think they have made the mistake of pricing it way to high............most Genesis Publications books are cheaper that this title.

Well I agree it is overpriced, but go to Genisis' website they have some pretty pricey titles as well....but damn a lot of their stuff looks so inviting. If you have the spare change.

I have it and it's wonderful. My best Stones book together with the Genesis TOTA.
I just suggest you to buy the De-Luxe one. I bought the regular one and I compared with my friend De-Luxe. There's a three-four centimeters difference in high (high?? or highness?). Number of the pages is the same but paper quality must be probably different. Also the spine of the deluxe is different.
For Europeans, the problem is the shipping cost; I asked a US friend to buy it in US and bring to me at the first occasion, so I waited some months but saved lot of money.

The email for the link was so misleading...
"Let It Bleed: Special Collector's Edition"
My hopes soared as I expected a super-double CD set w/ outtakes.
Nope, just a book celebrating the "39th Anniversary".
39th Anniversaty. Really?
650-950 bucks. Really? Really???

Nothing justifies a price this steep. There are really amazing small quantity and high quality Japanese art books that cost less than half the price including P&P. It's a shame and too bad as i'd love to have a copy but I cannot afford this much money and especially not for a book.The Stones were once a political correct and social feeling band. Especially in the era described in this book. For 800 dollar a medium family in Soth America can live 2-3 months.

You know, it feels nice to find having e-mail in your INBOX from someone called "The Rolling Stones", but that illusion of a sec or two is quickly gone when one realizes that who that entity really is, and what is really associated with that brand and promoted in the name of it.
The point is: no matter how 'rare' this book really is, and how much money I do have, I will never spend a sum like that for a book. It is a question of principles, I think.

Ref. to Susan,
didn't know the stones get some royalties from these books. Actually I was convinced that after years the photographer is free to use his material. Maybe I'm wrong.

This item is clearly targeted to the obsessive collector who feels they are
'buying a part of the band'. Shame on the Stones.

Way too expensive for a book in ANY economy. In THIS economy, it's crazy.
