Does anybody know where the Stones titles
are sourced from? The old ABKCO titles?
The new remasters? The London discs?
Needledrops? Other?

The First album and Got Live seem to be
London copies. Englands Newest could be the
new remaster. I'm especially puzzled by the
Decca collections though; Stone Age? No Stone
Unturned? Gimme Shelter Rolled Gold?
Big Hits (UK)....................


If there's been a past thread on this I'd appreciate
somebody pointing me to it....

The Bootleg Zone descriptions are mostly speculative....

Many thanks!
Manyt thanks!

Is it from the series that also have these CDs?

Hi JKF!

I'm not sure. It's supposed to be a Russian label, with
a hhtp:/cd-maximum.ru website listing on the back of the discs.
Good luck officially hunting them down, though they do seem to have
a legit new music division specializing in metal.

They released a Beatles and a Stones set. Most of the Beatle US and
specialty titles were bogus reconstructs using the existing EMI tracks.
But the artwork and bonus bootleg tracks were pretty good.

They've also done everything by the Stones up til about Exile, including
those Decca UK compilations I mentioned. The artwork again, is outstanding,
with reproductions of the original covers and labels from different countries,
both cd and vinyl and the like. The bonus tracks are pretty good copies
of the classic bootleg tracks. Though the bulk of pictures and boot tracks often enough don't match the actual disc you're buying!

The sound quality is usually pretty good but I'm not sure if they are doing
a reconfiguration again, like with the Beatles set. For example, I bought the
first UK Stones album, and it does have the correct long but abrupt end version of Tell me. On the otherhand the same US first Stones title has the long one with the fade, perhaps from the recent SACD remasters. Stone Age has the correct stereo Look What Yoy've Done, but the It's All Over Now and Satisfaction tracks on Rolled Gold sound pretty narrow, making me wonder if they are from them too.

No Stone Unturned seems to be all mono, Big Hits UK seems to have the correct
stereo/ Uk mixes.....it gets quite confusing and I don't know how far I want to get into collecting these, if a lot of them aren't from the authentic source.

So if anybody has any info on any particular titles, I'd much appreciate hearing about it! Like I said, Bootleg Zone does list them, with the correct bonus tracks, but is mum on the original sources.......

Nobody bought any?

They are silver discs. Folks have been bidding
rather high on EBAY but when they first came
out they could be found for about $8 each.
Apparantly they were limited runs of 500
copies per disc but I'm not too sure,
just what it says on the backcover.

Lately I've been listening to "No Stone Unturned"
a lot. Certainly not a classic but nice to have all the
same. All those B Sides somehow works, and the version
of "Stoned" sounds different from the one on the London
Singles Collection. Does anyone know if the London version
is in fact the right one?

CD MAXIMUM WANTED-does anyone know, where to get the 31-CD collection of the Stones by CD-Maximum Label? On evey copy is stated 500 only, which of course is not true and none of the discs are numbered, as supposed to be by Maximum

I've seen these all over ebay for $6-10. I got the Ya Ya s for 10.99 total and much to my surprise it seems to be the mickboy remaster! It even included the artwork among the others in the foldout. By the way, the artwork is very nice and includes a poster w/lyrics. The main reason I havent bought any others is I have all the songs and outtakes included with each cd on other comp. But if a person was starting their collection from scratch it may be a nice way to go.
