I'm looking for more information on this Beggars Banquet Box. Is this official (looks official to me). Were there other Rolling Stones boxes in a series? How valuable is this Beggars' box?

Here's what I found online (http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=19402):

With the "Olympic Recording Session 1998" book with the pic from 1970 Stargroves pic on the cover...

There were some other boxes like this one back in 1993 from the same editor.
I remember a Rockn' Roll Circus Box with a book with pics I have never seen since.
Don't know if it is rare but I have never seen them again 20 years later.

It's a bootleg with original cd

Sorry max56, UFO wasn't a bootleg-label, that's nonsense.

As far as I can remember they realeased Betwenn The Button as well.

They bought a bunch of original CDs and put them into a box-set. A practice that is still legal. Other companies did the same thing with Stripped, Their Satanic Majesties and I'm sure quite a few others which I can't remember anymore.

From a collector's poit of view this items are very questionable as they weren't released by the original record company (nor by the band). I mean even I could build a box-set of 500 copies out of any given CD/LP on the market...

It's a cool box to have. The CD is German with the wider stereo mix.

I bought one of these last year off ebay. No CD was included (and none is listed in the contents in the first post, above) - but I'd seen the reference to the London 800 084-2 release being associated with this box-set, and managed to find one of those on ebay as well.

A nice set to have - although the white T-shirt looks a little grey now!

Bought one a couple of years ago from an online sale (UK record store - but can't remember/find out which one)
Mine is #1379 and came with the CD; booklet with photos is very good and the T-Shirt has obviously never been worn.
I wouldn't necessarily call it a high quality box - a rather large claim - but lovely cover photo.
A nice item at the right price - as always

I don't know if it was released by the same label, but I bought 20 years ago two boxes one from Keith's Main offender release and one from Mick Jagger (don't know from which solo album). You actually could choose yourself: with or without a cd.
