As a counterpart to the "Mono" box they could bring out a "Stereo" box with also all the early 60s tracks in stereo. I'm sure there are more stereo versions in the archives than the few tracks that were released so far.

The real stereo from back then were often drums/vocals in one channel and the rest in the other, though.

Maybe Giles Martin can correct the Stereo-panorama .... like he did with the Beatles-Albums.

He most likely could, but this needs cooperation (=authorisation) from the Stones. Without this, ABKCO can only recycle what has been released back then. That's why they could do the Mono box. But vintage unreleased stereo mixes? No. New stereo mixes by Giles Martin or whoever? No. They control the pre-1971 material, but their hands are bound on anything the Stones did not agree to release back then (or later on archive projects like Circus, GYYYO Deluxe, Charlie Is My Darling etc.).

Didn't the Beatles use several reel-to-reel-tape machines, before playing it all into tape for mixing and mastering? At least for some of the mid-60s albums? That way they managed to get more tracks in there (mixed together, though)
If Martin had access to those reel-to-reel-tapes it would make sense that he was able to do a real stereo mix.
I'm not sure if the Stones worked like that for (m)any of the early albums, so I don't see how Martin - or anyone else, for that matter - would be able to pull this off.
Please not. The mono box is wonderful. Once you heard that you don't want to look elsewhere.Quote

For the small minority group of people with two ears stereo could be a valuable alternative. The Stones need more diversity in their output!

Albums like Aftermath and BTB are a joy to listen to in mono, imo.

I listened those two albums in mono, and they were a joy to listen, but I still think that the mono treatment misses something of the artistic intent of the albums. Of course, it could be that I am just used to to listen them in stereo, but especially AFTERMATH has that kind of airy and spacy, breathly feel that I think it is efficiently made possible by stereo; the instrument and vocal tracks are distinguished from each other rather deliciously, me thinks (in BETWEEN THE BUTTONS it goes a bit too far and 'artificial')
But every album all the way to OUT OF OUR HEADS (UK) should be in mono as initially intended, and the stereo treatment sound like fakes to my two ears. I am a bit puristic or stubborn here. But yeah, there could be expections... (and I am not any way against the idea of having them all in stereo!)
