Oh ok. I’ll rephrase your honour. What makes these so special as to make anyone want them, so specifically?
Technically, there are a couple of discs with mixes that were unavailable before. If you dig 6-y.o. discussion about the box In Mono, you'll find that most of the discs came with dedicated mono mix. Aftermath, Between The Buttons and TSMR appeared in mono format for the 1st time. Moreover, BTB contains 3 tracks with unique mono mixes (actually, different sound/edits comparing to known stereo tracks). Beggars Banquet has dedicated mono mix for SFTD. Thus, for those who did not purchase In Mono box in 2016 (or, as a matter of fact, 50th Anniversary deluxes of TSMR and LIBleed) - this is a chance to get mono mixes separately.
Currently, in Europe, these CDs are relatively cheap. Not that cheap as the previous set of 5 SHM-CDs compilations from 70s, but affordable. They are packed nicely and sound good.
Apart of it, SHM-CDs are superior to those (mysterious) colored vinyl in terms of sound quality.
So, you know, glass is half full .

BUt but but...these are new stamps for the collection!
In this case the difference only in a couple of pages filled with Japanese text. This is no bonus track. I can not read it anyway. Most of us can't.Quote

Ah yes. Why I always try and go with the costlier Japanese versions of things!!! Just give me bonus tracks and I'll cough up the $$$ LOL

What are these 5 SHM CD releases you're referencing?
5 Japanese Singles re-released as 7" cardboard-sleeve SHM-CD, 30-Jun-2021 - [iorr.org] .
1 Sticky Fingers (Spanish version) [1971] [UICY-78937]Quote
VoodooLounge13
True, but even the quality of the cases are usually better with the Japanese releases.

2 Made in the Shade [1975] [UICY-78938]
3 Time Waits for No One: Anthology 1971-1977 [1979] [UICY-78939]
4 Sucking in the 70's [1981] [UICY-78940]
5 Rewind 1971-1984 (European version) [1984] [UICY-78941]
They were sold cheap in Europe
[superdeluxeedition.com]
The problem - four out of five discs came with 2009 mastering. Sucking - is 1-to-1 clone of 2005 Virgin.
But these are for 'stamps collectors', so mastering does not matter
Rewind, US versionQuote
VoodooLounge13
Ah well of these compilations - is Spanish Sticky really one? - I do have the Time one. I bought Spanish too. The others I had already, or at least I have a Rewind, Made, and Sucking. Is Rewind a different tracklist than the US one? I'm guessing due to the fact that it says European. I didn't pick it up because my Stones music is still boxed up and IDK if I have the US one or not. I am ASSUMING it's US because it's on CBS.

While vinyl guys are guessing about the upcoming shipment of the LP box set here is some info about SHM-CDs.
New SHM-CDs (I have version for the ROW [UICY-79887K] – [UICY-79998K]) are not digital clones to their counterparts from EU or US In Mono box sets (2016).
The difference is in -0.02 dB level shift. Otherwise, tracks stay in sync. Probably, after level adjustment (like replay gain applied) they will cancel out perfectly. But as is - there is a systematic level shift for all discs.
Unless you have an extremely sharp hearing and very good audio - the new set is for stamps collectors only.Quote

So...to translate...for "stamp collector's only" or is there a compelling reason more than, "oh they are sure pretty, look at those lovely replica OBI's!".

Then they shall remain unopened, unlicked stamps, to be admired and appreciated by all those stones aficionados that enjoy such things in my life, which is effectively just me.

Unless you would like to touch/lick that e-type glossy finish that is applied for the front covers of the UK albums and Let It Bleed . The US albums do not have that.

jpc.de has both versions of the 12 Japanese Mono SHM-CDs - the Rest-Of-World (ROW) version (€19.99) as well as the version for Japan (€33.99). For instance Beggars Banquet :
Barcode 0018771211129 - [www.jpc.de] , Barcode 4988031511367 - [www.jpc.de] .
Yes. Probably, effect of 'zero level'.Quote

Isn't this just the 'CD manufacturing plant' effect?

According to Amazon it comes out tomorrow
Amazon Spain still has it listed at 292,32€ and sent me a reminder/suggestion to order it this morning.

Sure, this could be a bug of artificial intellect that analyzed my previous searches.
Anyway, vinyl collectors must suffer .
