Has anyone got a complete collection of the russian bootlegs of offical albums with bonus tracks,if so can someone post a list of titles.

Check out Honestman 's blog and IronBelly's posts .
There was a thread about the Russian vinyls if I am not mistaken but I can't remember its name .



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

Do you mean 31 CDs - albums with bonus tracks? I know the link with that collection in flac. Most of the material is official. I can't post it here. So mail me privately and you'll get what you need .

I have three of them ... "Nº 2", "ROCK 'N' ROLLING STONES" and "NO STONE UNTURNED". I reckon I simply bought them for sentimental reasons, having bought them back in the day on vinyl. The Russian CDs didn't come expensive at all, and in my opinion they look great. The disc's layout reproduce the DECCA labels pretty nicely, must say! ... Still, these are more like "pirates" than proper "bootlegs".

I got them all, but on CD. With all the bonus trax. I had to get the entire official output a few years back, and figured it was a good way to go. I am no audiophile. Got the entire collection in an ebay deal. But they are always out there. I tell you: IMO those discs are not half bad.

I have all between nº1 and Get yer.

I saw one of these - Let It Bleed I think - in Myer recently. Was tempted.

CD 1 The Rolling Stones + 8 bonus tracks
CD 2 England's Newest Hit Makers + 10 bonus tracks
CD 3 12 X 5 + 14 bonus tracks
CD 4 The Rolling Stones No.2 + 8 bonus tracks
CD 5 The Rolling Stones, Now! + 9 bonus tracks
CD 6 Out Of Our Heads (USA Edition) + 11 bonus tracks
CD 7 Out Of Our Heads (UK Edition) +12 bonus tracks
CD 8 December's Children + 14 bonus tracks
CD 9 Big Hits (USA version) + 14 bonus tracks
CD 10 Aftermath(UK version) + 6 bonus tracks
CD 11 Aftermath(USA version) + 11 bonus tracks
CD 12 Got Live If You Want It(LIVE) + 11 bonus tracks
CD 13 Big Hits(UK version) + 11 bonus tracks
CD 14 Between The Buttons(UK version) + 7 bonus tracks
CD 15 Between The Buttons(USA version)+9 bonus tracks
CD 16 Their Satanic Majesties Request + 10 bonus tracks
CD 17 Flowers + 10 bonus tracks
CD 18 Beggars Banquet + 7 bonus tracks
CD 19 Through The Past Darkly + 8 bonus tracks
CD 20 Let It Bleed + 7 bonus tracks
CD 21 Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! + 4 bonus tracks
CD 22 Sticky Fingers + 7 bonus tracks
CD 23 Stone Age + 9 bonus tracks
CD 24 Milestones + 11 bonus tracks
CD 25 Exile On Main St. + 3 bonus tracks
CD 26 Rock 'n Rolling Stones + 9 bonus tracks
CD 27 Gimme Shelter + 8 bonus tracks
CD 28 No Stone Unturned + 7 bonus tracks
CD 29 Metamorphosis + 10 bonus tracks
CD 30 / CD 31 Rolled Gold +16 bonus tracks (DOUBLE CD)

How is the sound quality of these? I see them all the time on ebay.

It's so very lonely, you're 2,000 Light Years from home

The sound quality is superb,but i wouldnt pay a fortune for them.But it is nice to have a few in your collection.

What is a fortune? It's 30 official albums by the top rock band of the world in very good quality,plus really well done extra tracks; they make sense.

its a lot to pay if you have already got the albums just for some bonus tracks which you have most likely got on bootleg...but they are a quality item!

i´m thinking seriously to sell, but, anyone knows an estimate price for the lot?

$5.00 & a bottle of vodka

Sorry guys, but I did not list those CDs on Pascal's blog. Anyway, the list midnrambler posted above is correct. The images are posted above by rogerriffin.

As far as I can hear, the albums are kind of or re-mixed versions of West German London CDs. The sound quality is reasonable, but the mix sometime is rather harsh. Definitively better than old US ABKCO (a lot of wide stereo mixes) but not as good as West German Londons or Japanese London-Polydor K.K.

Bonus tracks are mixed bag. A believe they were taken partially from bootlegs (you know, VGP or TSP discs) and needledrops (I think bonuses on Aftermath UK is a good example).

Again - those CDs are remixed and/or normalized/clipped to adjust official material with bootlegs.

You do not need to pay fortune for those. You can find as well (at least in Europe) clones of those CDs in digipak. So called Decca bootlegs. Last time I saw those last spring in a record shop for 7 Euros apiece.

Although, the quality of packaging for those Russian is rather high.

Could anyone let me know (PM is fine) if there is a place I can currently download these Russian bootleg versions?

I purchased the Sticky Fingers and Satanic Majesties disks many years ago, but they are currently in storage far away. I remember they sounded really good though, much better than the old original issue legit CDs I had of the albums, and with the cool bonus tracks. I'd love to get good copies of those and some of the others, and compare how they compare with the legit remastered versions.

If there is more discussion of these Russian versions on another thread here, I would also love to be directed to it. Just joined the forum and still having some trouble finding my way around.

Are these still available anywhere? I found them all a few months ago but there were errors on a few of them. I need re-ups of correct versions of 8,14,19 and 27. If anyone knows where to get them I would be very grateful.

It would be nice to get a reaction when I offer to help!

Anyway, for those interested, the complete series of 31 CDs is available again on WT for a limited time (expires November 8th)
These bootlegs might be considered official, so if you want them, mail me; write "RUSSIAN" (and nothing else) in the subject line, no text in the body of the mail necessary.
DO NOT put your e-mail address here, I will probably not react.

Sorry Chris. I apologize for not responding. I was in the hospital for surgery on November 6 and when I got out I was just on the couch for a few weeks. Then the holidays came and I just was side tracked with other things. I need updated links for cd's 8,14,19 and 27. I will send you a private email. If you don't respond, I totally understand. Thanks.
Sorry again for the delayed response.
