RussTCB Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 We were discussing it in the vinyl thread a couple days ago. I love it for the big Stones fans, but I honestly just don't like them enough to pick this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I love the Stones but that is a little too rich for me...Looks like a great box set and if I had the spare cash I would love to invest in it just to compare the sound to my original mono pressings of most of the albums from the 60's but for now would have to pass. There is a seller on e-bay who sells really good quality original pressings of classic 60's albums and he seems to specialize in the Stones and Beatles...he is not cheap but his grading is conservative and I have never gotten a bad album from him. Now that I have all the Stones albums I am going to start a Beatles collection from him I think. http://www.ebay.com/sch/wilsons-music/m.html?item=371072500904&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 What caught my attention about this release was how cool the Beatles mono collection is. I bought both Beatles stereo and mono collections on cd and I was surprised how often I preferred some of the mono mixes. It was quite a revelation. I'm not interested in the vinyl aspect of this, but I'll wait it out for the cd collection price drop (a mistake I made with the Beatles sets, lol), it's a worthy add to the collection imo. I can wait for the right price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon Prime Day or Black Friday, usually Superdeluxeedition posts the deep discounts for box sets (they'll post the best price, it might be Amazon Italy or Amazon France where the best deal's at) . They should have made Stray Cats 2 CDs and included some of the Metamorphosis cuts. At 150 US, it'll probably drop below 100. Hopefully there will be a bunch of ABKCO era deluxe editions to come but as far as I know, Mick and Keith have no involvement or interest in promoting any of it, even though the entire catalog is all under Universal. Not great timing for the people who were going to put 700 dollars down for that mammoth Pink Floyd box set, but once that comes out, the fans are going to put all the "exclusive to the box set" out there, post the videos on You Tube, but Pink Floyd will probably have a fair amount of it up on their official pages.
