While I would certainly love to have or at least hear these, I am quite pleased with the Mono Box I picked up a few years ago. I know purists will not like that the recordings entered the digital domain but they wound amazing.

I concur, the mono box set on cd is revelatory.

I have to admit I have all those old Decca's and London's in mono and stereo and haven't play tested them side by side yet (with the exception of LIB mono...don't have it!).
The Decca's are supposed to be the best versions, but with the new mono box set my understanding is that you're hearing things on there for the first time, never even identifiable on the originals.
I have some doubts ... from what I know, they started recording in stereo in the late 60's.Quote
exilestones
The first three albums (“The Rolling Stones”, “12×5”, and “Out Of Our Heads”) were originally recorded in the mono format, while the next six albums were recorded in true stereo. According to Mobile Fidelity Sounds Labs, “Hot Rocks” was a compilation of mono and stereo tracks that they “transferred from the original master tapes…carefully spliced together by MFSL’s engineers.”

that maybe true all i know is i prefer the sound of my original mono btb vinyl whether or not it's more detailed it's just more pleasant to listen to for me
but i admit the mono boxset sounds really good!
also you have mono copies of beggars and satanic?
lucky you
maybe pull out satanic and give it a listen with the mono box version
see which you prefer

Yes I have Mono & Stereo DECCA's of B.B. and TSMR. I'll have to do that.
I have a MONO Decca of Aftermath that is in NM condition. That's one of my collections prizes, just cause it looks so good.

I've been spending time going through the collection, rating and listing them on DISCOGs. It's almost shocking how much some of those DECCAs are worth now. There was a period of time about 15 years ago I was buying several copies of each one of these albums, DECCA Aftermath's, Beggar's, I, II, Out of Heads, and everything in MONO & Stereo.
You really start getting knowledgeable after awhile with all the label variations and matrix numbers. It's geek fun.
Sort of wild having some of these records totally thrashed and some in NM condition, almost 60 years later. Some with names of probably teenagers carefully written on the cover, or on the record label.
Anyway, a fun hobby.

it really is fun even if your poor like me
speaking of discogs i just got a sealed original copy of dirty work for $20
so your right about the prices but i generally bide my time and eventually i'll find something reasonable
and if you think the price of records have gone up a lot the price of good vintage carts (which i prefer and collect) are insane

Hey, good for you. That's a pretty good price. I think I've manage to nab 3 of those sealed over the years. I'm probably going to start 'lightening the load'...way too many duplicates over the years!
