Released in 1983, with a unique wrap-around cover and Dalton’s ‘The First 20 Years’ book, I got the only copy I’ve ever seen sale. Just curious to know if many of you have it: is it really rare or it simply eluded me, for some reasons?
Thanks for caring, Luca

You see one for sale every five years or so. The box is difficult to find in good condition. Including the David Dalton book and a gold star at the rear of each LP cover.

do all the records present the star on cover? In other words. Is this a standard or only fee covers got the golden star?

I have the book only (1981)...beautiful with excellent texts and images..! the first where I have seen a list of recording sessions and songs...!

I have it .

I have the book (as presumably many here do) but haven't heard of the 8-LP-box before. Was the box released around the time the book was released?

So, only two of us (and I) have this set?
I confirm the copy I'm waiting for has the wrap-around in just VG+ conditions.

Here's a description of this 8-LP 1983 Vinyl box set - [www.Discogs.com] . Statistics there: 16 have, 42 want, 0 sold.

I had to think about the 8 original Stones albums - what does that mean?

Studio albums released in the UK on Decca (ABKCO).

1960s. OK. That's not loaded, it's factual. But it became loaded. What a weird world.

Had to think about it too - at first I thought it would be another Japanese special re-issue. But looked it then up - [www.Discogs.com] .
