While I claim to have seen these white corners every so often, including my copy, which has the dashes for cutting, I never actually loooked to see if the white corners had these dashes or not at the record shows where I passed on buying because I already had a copy.

Very interesting, and I will pay closer attention in the future.

thanks for the info, hopefully these are rare.

I've got 17 different GERMAN releases of Throught The Past, Darkly but NO "white corner without dashes" - wishful thinking, as I wrote before

That's it so far - probably even more variations exists:

v0: aktuelle Expressausgabe with "Royal Sound Stereo"-enblem on the labels

v1: octagonal sleeve with "Royal Sound Stereo"-enblem on the labels

v15: non fold-out sleeve with white edges and dashed lines to cut it down to octagonal format, "Royal Sound Stereo"-enblem on the labels, released only for US and British air-force bases in Germany

v2: octagonal sleeve without "Royal Sound Stereo"-enblem on the labels

v12: normal fold-out sleeve without "Royal Sound Stereo"-enblem on the labels, early Matrix compared to v3

v3: normal fold-out sleeve without "Royal Sound Stereo"-enblem on the labels

v4: re-release on NOVA, DECCA-enblem on the green side of the labels

v11: re-release on NOVA, DECCA-enblem on the yellow side of the labels

v8: Sonderauflage deutscher Schallplattenclub

v9: Club-Sonderauflage

v5: Bertelsmann Club-Center release

v14: Deutscher Schallplatten-Club release, "Sonderauflage" at 10 o'clock on the labels

v6: Deutscher Schallplatten-Club release, "Club-Sonderauflage" at 10 o'clock on the labels

v10: Deutscher Schallplatten-Club release, "Sonderauflage" at 2 o'clock on the labels

v7: re-release from 1982, using the original matrix-numbers

v13: re-release from 1988, "half-moon" labels

v14: re-release from 1990, "full-moon" labels

Silkcut,
your great list confirms what I always tell to collectors: collecting the Rolling Stones is and endless adventure!
As soon as I can, I will check my German 'Darkly', but I'm pretty sure they're no more than five or six.
As a final result, we might dare to say that no non-dashed White-corner covers seem to exist. All the best, Luca

You're absolutely right, Luca - but I'm glad that it's endless, otherwise it would be dull

If you talk about rare vinyl: this is one of the most rare:

This is an RSM 1 UK ...NOT an RSD 1 from USA

I've to say: I'm NOT the seller,

Here's an interesting list of what's considered the most rare stones records. Very USA-centric, as I don't see any DECCA's on there...prices also seem a tad high:

[kearth101.cbslocal.com]

1.1965 London 45- “Satisfaction” w/ps: $400.00
2.1964 London LP- “The Rolling Stones” w 12×12 bonus color photo: $400.00
3.1967 London LP- “Their Satanic Majesties Request” (3D cover, mono): $400.00
4.1965 London 45- “Heart of Stone” w/ps: $1,000.00
5.1964 London 45- “Not Fade Away” w/ps: $1,500.00
6.1978 Rolling Stones (label) 45- “Beast of Burden” w/ps: $2,000.00 (Originals are light lavender. Counterfeits are a deeper purple)
7.1964 London 45- “Stoned”: $7,500.00
8.1966 London LP- “Big Hits High Tide and Green Grass” (mono): $7,500.00 (Full title printed on one line on cover in lower case)
9.1964 London LP- “12 X 5” (blue vinyl): $10,000.00
10.1968 London 45- “Street Fighting Man” w/ps: $18,000.00

I've got the ones that are bolded...I believe the 12x5 blue vinyl is possibly a myth...anyone confirm that?

blue-vinyl edition of 12x5 for $8,000.00

Thanks for that JB...here is what the quote from the link says...

Unsorted Left-Over Goodies
(a quick fix)

Color vinyl editions, club editions, picture discs,
test pressings, & promotion-only releases for US LPs.

No official LP color vinyl (other than black) pressings were ever offered for the US market (singles are a different story). There exists legend that a single copy of 12x5 printed on transparent blue vinyl exists, yet it is of questionable authenticity. A 'Thank You' goes out to Gary Johnson of Rockaway Records whom informed me of his sale of the only known blue-vinyl edition of 12x5 for $8,000.00, although to whom it was sold remains a mystery.

Sounds mysterious...and questionable.

Let's see it!

Does anyone have Bill Wyman's 45 single "White Lighting" b/w "Monkey Grip Glue" RS 19110 or the 1963 U.K. 45 Posion Ivy b/w Fortune Teller release?

The poison ivy single is a bit of a holy grail....I don't remember even seeing a pic of it...is it real or mythology?

There's a picture of this one on the Stones Collector's Cave in the "UK Decca 7" Vinyl & Exports" thread. Also a lot of info about the single provided by Peter (stonedkoala). The record of the picture is from the Felix Aepply collection

Although Street Fighting Man 45/sleeve is more famous, to me this one seems rarer.

I was wondering if anyone has this, or has even actually seen this before, Poison Ivy/Fortune Teller:



I'm not sure where I grabbed this pic, so I apologize I can't give it credit. Thought maybe from stonescave.ning.com but I'm quite sure I didn't sign up there and that seems to be the only way in.

Anyway, as I noted before this item is extremely rare. I've never seen it come up for auction, and of course it isn't even listed as an official release. It was the planned for follow-up to "Come On", so to be their second single, a certain amount pressed (not sure how many) and then withdrawn.

I can't imagine what this would go for, but has to be amongst their rarest vinyls.

Very cool...beyond the elusive SFM US pic sleeve, the Beast of Burden pic sleeve and maybe the 'Stoned' promo London 45, I think this has to be up there with rarest of them all.

There's also rumour of a blue vinyl 12x5...not sure if that is real.

So if no single was officially released, is this sheet music of rare value then?

HOLY MOLY!

Love that, thanks for posting. I daresay it would be considered rare. I guess it depends on when it came out...looks quite ancient.

They did have it on their EP, so perhaps it's release coincided with that.

Still, a fantastic find...where'd you get it?

RAREST STONES VINYL of 'em all!



And I don't own it. There are something like 12 or 13 known in the world, with picture sleeve.

I've seen it go for over $15000 on ebay.

Does anyone have one, or know anyone that has one?

Has anybody seen my baby?

There's a guy in Pennsylvania who runs a mail order record business called Very English and Rolling Stone. When I spoke to him at a record show sometime back in the 80s I recall him telling me that he has a copy in his personal collection; not for sale.

I'm not a huge collector (I only have the regular editions and no rarities, apart from the 3-D edition of TSMR), but I was surprised some weeks ago when some friends of mine gave me these two brazilian EPs. They're not rare at all, but are somewhat hard to find, even here. They have the same tracklist, but the first one is in mono and the other one in stereo, and I thought it would be nice to share it here.

Re the Street Fighting Man PS - one sold on E-bay in January this year for just over 17,000 USD - see here: [www.ebay.co.uk]

Unfortunately I was not the buyer!

Interesting! It says in the description that this is the first listed in 10 years but I know I saw one about 8 years ago sell for just over $15000.

I wonder whether this one is actually original, because when I click the link and see the sale, it also lists the seller is selling another one or the same one, and the sale ended early, or was pulled. Here it is:

[www.ebay.co.uk]?

Yes, it looks like the first sale didn't go through, the seller then re-listed it and added the following comment: "This is not a verified sleeve, the gloss of the paper around on the edges are possibly questionable and are hard to compare without seeing it in hand." Then he pulled the sale...Sounds very dodgy all round, but we get a good idea what some (wealthy) people are willing to pay for this.

Those are great specimens Cristiano.

Where did your friends get them? Were they jukebox EPs, I've seen several jukebox EPs through the years that were US?

I have a GHS version, I think including Star Star and Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo.

Does anyone have this...and can this be as rare as claimed:

[www.ebay.com]

It's $3500 for a sealed copy of a She's A Rainbow/2000 LYFM jukebox 45, including picture sleeve (miniature version of the album cover). The fact that it doesn't have a 3d cover has me wondering if it's not just some reissue from the late 70s. That said, I guess it could still be worth something.

Anyone know anything about this?

]woman[/url]

Hi Treacle. Yes, the TSMR Jukebox EP is seriously rare, the rarest of the 3 or 4 made but that price is absurd to me. I think $500 would be about fair, a hundred more if the strips are there. No offense to collectors with a different opinion.

12 x 5 blue vinyl is a Japanese release .

Yes: 12 x 5 blue vinyl was released in Japan as part of a coloured reissue series in early 1982.
The one on the list above is a US one, probably one factory experiment, probably only one copy made in blue vinyl... I've never seen a picture of this record.

Best
