This is from the update on RollingStones.com. I just felt that it should be on here too, as it usually is.

Stones' 45s Roll One More Time

Rolling Stones Singles Box, vol. 3 Set For Release March 1
--------------------------------
ABKCO Records has set March 1st as the date of release for the third and final volume in its series of limited edition boxed sets that chronicle the rise of the Rolling Stones as single chart hit makers beginning in the 1960s. The new set, The Rolling Stones Singles 1968-1971 follows the 2004 release of The Rolling Stones Singles Box 1963-1965 and The Rolling Stones Single Box 1965 – 1967, both of which were critically acclaimed. The new collection kicks off with "Jumpin' Jack Flash," recorded at London's Olympic Studios in the spring of 1968. It was the single that marked a return to hard rocking form for the "world's greatest rock 'n roll band" that had earlier been experimenting with acoustic and psychedelic sounds. "Brown Sugar," recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 1969 reflects a time in the band’s history when its southern (US) roots were explored and celebrated

The new set features a total of nine individual CDs and a bonus DVD that includes the original "Jumpin' Jack Flash" promo film directed by Michael Lindsey-Hogg as well as the band’s 1964 performance of "Time Is On My Side" from the Ed Sullivan Show plus a live 1967 version of "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In the Shadow?" and the 2003 video of the Neptunes’ remix of "Sympathy For The Devil."

The Rolling Stones Singles 1968-1971 chronicles the transition in the band when, in 1969, Mick Taylor replaced original guitarist Brian Jones who met his demise shortly thereafter. The rest of the Stones' seminal lineup: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts (plus compatriot Ian Stewart on keyboards) remained intact over the period chronicled in the set.

The discs in the series, for the most part, replicate the sequencing and packaging of the band’s original 45s, as released both in the US and UK. One of the highlights is "Memo From Turner," heard in the 1970 feature film Performance starring Mick Jagger. The flip side, "Natural Magic," a Ry Cooder instrumental from the film is coupled with that track on one disc.

One of the CDs in the set is devoted entirely to "Sympathy ForThe Devil" including the original 1968 version that was finally released as a single (in the UK) in 1976. Three remixes completed in 2003, including versions by Fatboy Slim, Full Phatt Productions and the aforementioned Neptunes version are offered. The "Sympathy" disc is an enhanced CD that features Music Notes™ technology that offers the listener an opportunity to view and print the sheet music for the song. When viewed on a computer screen, the sheet music synchronizes with the original recording. The sleeve for this disc is a "3-D" lenticular rendering of the band's famed tongue and lips logo.

As with "Sympathy..," a number of other Stones tracks were released years after their creation, and The Rolling Stones Singles 1968-1971 finds a berth for all of these including the Stevie Wonder-penned "I Don’t Know Why." That track was recorded in 1969 and released in 1975, the year that also saw the release of 1964's "Try A Little Harder," which is also included.

Each of the nine discs is individually packaged in a picture sleeve utilizing original artwork that approximates the look and feel of the original single releases while the actual discs strongly resemble the black vinyl of the original singles. The Rolling Stones Singles 1963 -1965 and The Rolling Stones Singles 1965 -1967 were recipients of the Step (Magazine) Design Award, acknowledgment of the top graphic designs of 2003 and 2004. The third volume in the series carries on that tradition of design excellence and innovation.

A 28-page booklet, packed with rare photos and extensive annotation is part of the collection as is an exclusive original essay by Rolling Stones authority Nigel Williamson. It provides a highly detailed historical narrative that puts the classic material of The Rolling Stones Singles 1968-1971 in perspective, offering facts and insight into the recording efforts of the group during a period of great upheaval and creativity.

ROCKMAN

What happened to Let It Rock which was the second track on the original B-side of Brown Sugar??

What a swindle!!!!!! Wasn't that
Sympathy cd single available in the
stores over the past year? And most
everything else on the London Years
3 disc set, for a fraction of the price
of all three boxes? I suppose
the dvd would be nice to have,
but you get sucked into buying
everything else all over again
for the umpteenth time!!!!!!

For shame!
