Yes Amazon.com is showing the label as ABKCO with ASIN: B01H2NU8DQ
yet Amazon.co.uk is showing label as Commercial Marketing with ASIN: B01H2NU8DQ.
This discrepency requires to be cleared up as it is clouding the adverts.
However it is possible that this is a semi combination of the US and UK Mono LP's up to Let It Bleed where
ABKCO , Polydor, Universal , Decca And London were all labels involved in the songs contained in the 15 CDs/Vinyls.
As yet no one representing any of these labels has as yet confirmed that there is a release taking place 30/09/16.
Would have expected Universal/ABKCO to be publishing this rare and spectacular event and perhaps that will follow shortly.
The lack of information from a trustworthy source and the extremely high selling prices i.e.
Purchase The CD for £96.79 (HERE) Amazon.co.uk
Purchase the Vinyl for £251.49 (HERE) Amazon.co.uk
should make one cautious about committing to this purchase until it becomes abundantly clear that this is a genuine release from ABCKO/Universal.
Until these issues have been cleared up i will not consider placing a pre-order even it it means that i will miss out on this limited edition.
It is entirely up to each individual Stones fan whether they trust the Amazon only pre-order advert and order now or wait a bit longer to see what develops via ABCKO/Universal.
Hopefully this will turn out to be absolutely the genuine article as the overall 15 CD/Vinyl package could be something spectacular for Stones fans looking for high quality mono sound songs from 1963- 1969.

Is BB and LIB in true mono?

Blueranger it is better to be suspicious than moneyless as there have been many Stones record cons over the years.
Thanks for your input plus Irix.
I have been carefully looking through my Stones record collection and already have all listed songs in one form or another.
Have to assume that Universal/ABCKO are actively trying to encourage fans to think that this new release is something extra special using the Limited Edition banner as the seducer.
Really? Because I got error 404 page does not exist.Quote

When you look further in to things this has already been tried in a similar fashion in 2010 by ABCKO - see Amazon.com Rolling Stones Mono -
It would appear that limited edition release 30/09/16 is perhaps an extension of product described below showing on Amazon.com at some ridiculously high prices.

Product Description
Strictly limited edition 13 vinyl LP box set that encompasses the Stones' early UK releases. The box set includes nine remastered Rolling Stones studio albums, two remastered EPs, plus two 'Big Hits' collections. The first five titles in the set are presented in their original mono format, affording, for the first time in years. The inclusion of the band's original two Hits collections was mandated by the fact that UK album releases in that era most often did not include contemporaneously released hit singles.
Review
THE ROLLING STONES 1964-69/THE ROLLING STONES 1971-2005
Upper Manhattan, mid-1980s, an underfurnished railroad apartment. Three young men whose last meal was almost certainly noodle-based sit on overturned milk crates near a turntable. They're listening hard. To what? To a fixation: the first five Rolling Stones LPs in mono.
We weren't ridiculous. We weren't wrong. If you bought these records new at Sam Goody, you'd hear sound fit for a dog: old mono reprocessed into fake stereo, bassy in one speaker, trebly in the other, sloshed with reverb. If you got yourself around a used mono version, not so hard to find in those days -- especially of the sacramental "Out of Our Heads" -- you'd hear the band's greasy transmission, its full feckless assault, much more clearly.
We didn't have the British versions, though, some with different songs in a different order. We weren't that pro. We were 20 years too early. In a breathtaking all-vinyl boxed set, ABKCO has reissued the Stones' studio-album corpus up through 1969, and those that were originally mono (pre-"Aftermath") have been kept that way. Some of these probably sound as good as is currently possible. Simultaneously, Universal has released its own vinyl-only boxed set for the rest of the band's work, from "Sticky Fingers" to "A Bigger Bang." These will be more familiar to anyone who grew up with them: there was no mono-stereo issue here, no track-order scrambling between markets. They look and sound beautiful, using the best recent remastering and vinyl cutting. And here, cultured reader, would be the occasion to start building your defense of the undervalued "Goats Head Soup." -- The New York Times, November 26, 2010

Regrettably there will always been some fans out there who will be conned in to paying way over the odds for song compilations that are not value for money.

The price at Amazon UK is starting to go up considerably. I bought it for 83.74 pounds( approx 109.00 US dollars) a couple of days ago. The price is now up to 148.56 pounds which is about 193.00 US dollars.
