I need to fill a few holes in my UK firstprint collection of Stones LPs.
Since my Hoffman book ends in the early 90s, I have little info about catalogue numbers after that.

But according to Discogs...


- Live Licks is not available on LP
- Rarities (as LP) is a "Europe" press (assuming EU), not UK press.
- Bigger Bang (as LP) was pressed only in the Netherlands, not a UK press.

Are there no UK presses for these albums?

Regarding the No Security album Discogs says only a "Europe" press too, but I´ve seen UK presses, so dont know how reliable this site is.

Any suggestions??

Do you mean specifically vinly LPs? For me an LP is not specific to vinyl, it's still a long player regardless of format!

Sorry, yes, I mean vinyl LPs.
Did they not press all these vinyls in the UK in the 90s and 00s??

If not, it sorta makes it impossible to have a complete UK collection (Hope it isnt so.)

i've got Rolled Gold + asa tripple lp

I'm pretty sure both A Bigger Bang and Rarities could be bought in the UK, although not pressed there.

The reason for pressing the records overseas is a question of mass production.

Thanks Blueranger! Yes they are possible to buy, but hoped (still not sure) they would be possible to obtain in a UK pressing. That would be swell. Having all UK firstprints. Not almost all

Some of my 90's stones vinyl records had a sticker which stated "Made in Uk" on the cover. I remember Jump Back had those on both cover and labels.

Robberbride...I've checked my copies for ABB, No Security and Rarities and they are all EU, some actually saying "Made In Holland" via a sticker.

Do you have the Rolled Gold + 4 album set put out in 2007? That is a beautiful set and I believe is a UK pressing.

Thanks!
Hillside: Thats interresting with that sticker. Will be on the lookout. Jump back is a UK press, yes. Have found it
Treacle: Thanks a lot for checking and confirming. No, I don´t have the 2007 Rolled Gold. *Browsing Ebay*

That one's seen serious price appreciation....I would be that they didn't print all that many vinyls.

I am missing the same 3 that you Robberbride.

Well Live Licks is only available on vinyl as a 'bootleg', so you can safely ignore that one.

As for the other two, do you have the EU versions, or are you hoping for the UK versions (as I'm not sure they even exist)?

Thanks Too Tough!! Nice site! Seems to confirm the EU theory, although I just bought the UK "No Security", which it says is a EU print (if Im reading it correctly)
Treacle: No I´m on the verge of buying the EU albums - I only have the original non-firstprints from the nineties + remasters. Hope I get these soon.
I just bought the Rolled Gold+ though. Sealed and all. Just like you want them

That is how I prefer them!

Would it be gauche of me to ask what the cost of Rolled Gold + was?
