². Late issue exist with "L'âge d'or des Rolling Stones" printed in white.

Notes : all volume of "L'age D'or Des Rolling Stones" can be founded with printer AREACEM code B1 to B12. This would mean that this serie has been completly released in 1973.(Look at label profile). As I have already said, Jacques Leblanc is one of the contributor. I supposed that it can't be wrong for date.

Fantastic level of geekdom! I do the same with my collection, though I don't collect the L'âge D'or series.

Love it!

So? The same songs, the same mastering, but the packaging is in French? Yes, I must have this, said no one with common sense and a value of money.

Oh man you are on the wrong discussion page if you want to troll people for having more than one copy of a Rolling Stones album.

And though I don't disagree with your judgement, I will say that fortunately I've managed to collect a few items that have gone up so much in value as to justify the ridiculous amounts of money spent to date.

I'm sure you have your vices FPS...

Definately a serie worth to collect, as the early albums are in a unique
Electronically Re Processed Stereo-production, that must have been made for
the occasion.
The quality of this can for sure be debated, - pretty “noisy” - with a lot of
reverb . . but interesting !
The Jacques Leblanc-serie is Mono on those albums.
