I can't find anywhere in Internet comprehensive information about these 1995 box sets, I know there is a vinyl box set with t-shirt and a cd box set with a book but Amazon lists also cd box sets with t-shirt???? These box sets are quite limited and scarce, also in ebay there is only one vinyl box set (used one). Anyone familiar with these box sets?

Do you mean this one?

"ROLLING STONES Stripped (Rare 1995 Dutch limited edition of 3000 box set including 14-track 2-LP vinyl set, black cotton T-shirt with band and title embroidered in red thread, polished slate titled keyring, Ronson white metal zippo style printedlighter, individually numbered certificate and 10"x10" print, all housed in a fabulous fold-over pvc printed outer box)."

Yes, I do. Amazon lists also cd versions of this but I can't find anywhere else information about it? I know there is a very scarce cd box version with a book but there is no t-shirt in that one I think.

Isn't it a kind of UFO Records production?

In ebay listing it says (for the vinyl version):

from Virgin UK in 1995 # V 2801 (7243 8 41040 1 6)

Rare Strictly Official UK Original Double Vinyl LP with Double Inner Sleeve.

In "Special Limited Edition" Plastic Box with A Numbered Certification Sheet, Photo Sheet ,Key-Holder and A Black T-Shirt with Logo


The same seller is selling also the cd box version with a photo book:

from Virgin EU (Made in UK) and UFO Music UK in 1995 , # CDV 2801 (7243 8 41040 2 3)

RARE Strictly Official UK CD (Incl. Four Live Video on Quick Time Interactive Material, Pressed by EMI Swindon Factory UK) with Fold Booklet.

In Limited Box by UFO Music with

80 page Photo Book (from UFO Music in 1995) , Designed Card (It Has A Light Fold Spot) and Logo Band

I bought twenty years ago the cd version of this box (I never knew about a LP version though), I haven't looked inside for years, but I think -beside the cd and T-shirt- it also included a lighter and a keychain. No book.

Then you got the Stripped, a trip through the Voodoo Lounge Tour 1994-95 box that included a photobook, the cd and wristband, plus an A4 paper with the crew all access passes pictured on it.

UFO boxes are unofficial products. I mean, the CD will be a regular official one. But the box is made by local record company associated with the shop Vinyl Experience, which was in Hanway Street, London. I do not know how to qualify such a product properly. Fan made edition, probably.

And the description is a total goof. To name regular CD made in UK by Swindon as 'RARE Strictly Official UK CD (Incl. Four Live Video on Quick Time Interactive Material, Pressed by EMI Swindon Factory UK) with Fold Booklet' - is a hook. That CD costs 3 Euros in used record shops these days. It is no rare at all.

Apparently it came with some fresh fruit? And that one is still in mint condition as well?

UFO / Vinyl Experience did produce one official product, the "From One Charlie" boxed set. All the other boxes like this are unofficial extra packaging of the official product. The one arguably good thing is the band were able to see there was a market for more collectible products. The same thing happened when the bootlegs got so good they decided they might as well do the vaults series. Better late than never...
