there's a part of me wants to whinge about the price, but then, I paid €100 or so for the Beatles Christmas singles box and euro/minute, this is infinitely better value.

It's still a load of money for old rope, mind...

Maybe there are 1000 persons around the world who are interested : $450 x 1000=$450K. Not bad business. Then you add the RS socks, teeshirts etc... The factory is working fine and pleasing us, the customers.Because if the rolling stones don't do it legally, someone else will do it illegally.

Re Black & Blue on the press release:

"Black And Blue (1976)

Gatefold sleeve with original inner bag and lyric sheet"



LYRIC SHEET????? My original copy of Black and Blue has no lyric sheet...anyone's???

Original is Blue Vinyl with lyrics sheet.

I have the original Black and Blue on black vinyl with lyric sheet.

Not going to pre-order at current pricing, but hoping to pick up at some point.
Curious as to how "limited" it actually will be.

Hoping to see a significant price drop at some point to clear the shelves and grab a set. In no hurry, but just received a nice turntable as a gift and it would fit in nicely with my current collection of vinyl, which stands at zero.

Really? Never heard of that. I bought it the day it came out and it was black vinyl and no lyric sheet. Hmmm....

"Gonna find my way to heaven ..."

I think mine has a poster in it as well as lyrics. I'll have to check but I remember a poster of some kind inside.

Blue vinyl (form Holland) came later but it carried the lyric sheet as the German one did from the start.

Maybe it depends on the country version ....

Germany 1976: "Release in gatefold cover with printed inner 'Studio' sleeve and lyric insert. Very first pressings included an additional tourflyer." - [www.Discogs.com]

My (original) Black And Blue LP also has the lyrics sheet. I think it's also there in the 1994 Virgin CD edition.

Funnily, the (original) Emotional Rescue LP was available in two versions in the German-speaking area: one with the lyrics printed on the inner sleeve, one with a blank inner sleeve (not sure now about the Virgin CD). Both editions had the poster.

The hi-res audio files are a major selling point for me. I've gotten the Zeppelin and Peter Gabriel hi-res files that were part of their recent vinyl reissues. They sound marvelous.

Sourced from the original analogue tapes......, 3 LPs were recorded digitally so...

Which ones? Bridges was recorded on analogue tape, according to Steve Hoffman's forum. for ABB and B&L I don't know.

steel wheels

$620 canadian...I'm out

I did get several copies of all the previous box sets and I see them regularly selling for over $1000 now so the price point for this new release, while painful isn't completely unexpected.

Just think, $40/lp

I think my stones collection has done better than my stock portfolio.

No lyric sheet in the 94 Virgin CD one.

Ditto - I have 5 versions of this in vinyl (the original release in Australia and in the LP Box from, when, 6 years ago?) and cd formats. No lyrics to be found anywhere.

Well, no, if you search for this on rollingstonesshop.com, you can clearly see in one of the photos of the set with all the albums displayed, an insert OF the lyric sheet. I am just saying, I have NEVER seen one, despite having the original release vinyl!

My original vinyl from 1976 has exactly the lyrics sheet to be seen in Irix's post a bit higher up. Maybe that was added in Western Europe only (I've seen it in France in 1979 although I don't know where the specific copy had been bought).

Bought my copy somewhere in the mid 80s and it has the lyric sheet as well.
Have never seen the tour flyer supposed included with the first editions.

Here: [iorr.org] or here: [www.Discogs.com] .

Large picture of the 2018 Edition.

IT IS KNOWN WHAT IS THE NUMBERED SHOT

From [www.jpc.de] :

"Each album will be pressed at MPO in France, one of Europe’s finest plants to ensure the highest fidelity experience for fans.
The boxset will contain a download card with high-res audio .WAV downloads (Ex. US/CA)."

Price at jpc is €449.00 - same as [www.Amazon.de] .

Let's hope for true high-res files for Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge, Bridges To Babylon and A Bigger Bang...
It would be something really new !

GRRR! BluRay-Audio was 96kHz/24bit (HiRes-Download 88.2kHz/24bit) - but it's questionable if the 1989-2005 Tracks are true HiRes and not upscaled ....

I bought my copy the day it was released in the UK - no lyrics sheet.

Much interesting question is - what particular variant of mastering will be used?
