Great video. I got caught partly in a trance watching this video and far away in nostalgic memories of my high school days. Always the formative years make us what we become. I've loved the Rolling Stones ever since the days when they were banned on some radio stations in the Toronto area. And in those early years I was young enough but not too young to gain the advantage for my later development. In July turning 75, I need these memories for my happy reminiscences.
Hi Melinda - WOW thats excellent. I am mainly a CD guy but do collect vinyl occasionally. I was 16 yrs old in the mid 60's lolol in the UK with all that amazing music to listen to. Unfortunately I was still at school and then doing my apprenticeship so didnt have much money to go out and but a lot of music. My first single I bought with my own money was Wild Thing by the Troggs and then I bought my first album Trogglodynamite. We use to listen to the legendary John Peel show on Saturday afternoons and record the songs on my cassette player. I remember John having Jimi Hendrix on his show when Chas brought Jimi to the UK for the first time and put the Experience together - heady heady days. I feel so privileged, lucky to have been part of that scene. Music meant such a lot to us in those days, and still does for me - sadly today, kids dont have that same connection with the music. Must stop rambling. Take care. Cheers Doug
You were around in an amazing time for music. Thankfully these classics have never left. All these years later we can still buy the singles. ♥️ I'm not sure the music of today will have the staying power The Rolling Stones have had. Thank you for sharing your memories. Take care. ♥️🤗
My brother I had the single "Satisfaction". On the flip side was "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man" which was about a real person. After that came one of my favorite Stones songs "Get Off My Cloud". High school years.
Yes, I grew up with them and every time a new single hit the stores it was major celebration, then run home to listen to it and then in the garage to learn it and play with my band. Fun times and then I had to grow up, go to school, get a degree and work my butt off. I was always a "Stones guy" and not much of a Beatles' and that is true up to these days.
Wow! What incredible memories. That's truly what it's all about. Unfortunately, we all have to grow up but we will always have The Stones. ♥️ Thank you for sharing. Take care.
Nice job Melinda looks like a great set.I didn't get the experience of hearing new Beatles or Stones songs but did get that excitement when a new Queen single came out.First hearing it on the radio,then rushing along to the record shop on release day with my pocket money.Great days indeed
I grew up with a very musical family who were young and hip - imagine having 5 teenage aunts that brought their records over for me to hear - Mom loved The Beatles, The Stones, The Zombies and The Hollies - Dad loved The Yardbirds and The Animals - It was a great time and any of those singles (now in my brothers jukebox) will bring back memories - I have "The London Years" (Mono) on MP3 and it sounds fantastic - Kudos to you Melinda❤ for a fascinating descriptive presentation that will thrill the new Stones fans and us older fans - See you next week!
Wow! You probably already know this but you have/had a very cool family. Your mom had great taste in music. ♥️ My mom loved The Hollies as well. Thank you for the kind words. I think this box set will make a lot of Stones fans very happy. Take care.
Never considered myself a Stones fan until i realised that nearly all the important points of my teenage life were soundtracked by Mick n Keef and not just their then current single but old cuts too, including Rainbow, were backgrounding my activities. This carried on until Under Cover of the Night when i managed to shake them off and they haven't bothered me since! Great review Melinda! 😊
Thank you for the kind compliment. I love this era of The Stones but I grew up with Start Me Up and Undercover of the Nights as well. I remember hearing Miss You on the radio when I was growing up. ♥️ Wonderful memories. Thank you.
Hi!It's great to hear from you. ♥️🤗 I think you will be just as happy with this box set. It's terrific and this was a great era for The Stones. I hope you have been doing well. Take care.
@@MelindaMurphy I'm doing well, M. Been spinning the blues the last couple of years and enjoying some of the greats like Bonamassa, Trout, Gallagher, and of course Jimi. You'll be proud of me for ordering the VH box sets. Hope all is well with you.
Good Morning Melinda 🌞 ! This was an amazing period of productivity for The Rolling Stones & this box looks absolutely 💯 essential. Love the Stones listening to the playback of Wild Horses in Gimme Shelter. They look quite rightly pleased ! I have a birthday in March & this is on my wish 🤞 list ! Thanks 😊
This would make a fantastic gift. These songs are incredible. 🤗♥️ This is probably my favorite ere for The Stones. Thank you for the kind words and have a great week.
Thank you! It's such a beautiful box set. They did a great job. I love this era of The Stones. The music is beyond great. I appreciate your kind words. Take care.
,,,....hello,,,Mrss.Melinda,,,,,great vid,,,hope the song - fool to cry ,is in one of your set,,,my first R.S. tune as a kid,on a jukebox where I worked at14 y.o. ,,,,can't remember side B??....this set is fantastic!..tnx...pat,,land o'lakes,wi....take care❤
What a great memory. I remember songs that were at a jukebox at our local swimming pool. When I hear them, I can practically smell the chlorine. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
This would be a fantastic set to own. Nice review! I’ve often thought the same thing about how cool it would have been to have been older when all these great songs were first coming out. Of course I’m old enough as it is so I don’t want to make myself any older lol. Beautiful set and review Melinda!
Lol. I know! I'm old enough but the music of this time was fantastic. We have the best of both worlds - this music never went away and we have all of those classic 70's and 80's bands as well. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Another great video Melinda I love watching your videos so much my favorite rolling stones album Let it bleed thank you for everything you do classic rock is the best ever
Thank you for the kind words. Let It Bleed is probably my favorite too although Their Satanic Majesties Request and Aftermath are high up on the list too. ♥️🤗 Take care.
I echo your sentiments once again. I'm a big advocate of perspective. Looking back at things and jedging where there were then. I just missed out on New Beatles records as I was born in 1967. But I still grew up with their stuff, and I always bang on to others about the fact that groups like the Beatles had a massive rate of records. Inly on the go for about 8 years, and look at what they did in that period. Likewise the Stones in that period and others. I also love to point out that in the 1970s we had a time when music grew at an unprecedented rate. I'm so glad I grew up in that period. Through my older brothers, as a 3 year old I quickly got into music, and played records, so it started out here in Britain with rock and glam rock, morphed into pub rock and we also got disco as well as various other things like prog rock. Then punk happened. And new wave, and then later SKA, and also the explosion of electronic synth bands too. All that in 10 years. You just couldn't fathom that now.
I agree. We had such a wide range of musical genres that we all listened to. Now everything sounds the same. This era of The Rolling Stones was flawless. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Hi Melinda, I already have the Volume 1 box set (1963-1966) and I am really lloking forward to getting this 1966-1971 set, it looks awesome! I grew up in the 1960s, but I was a bit too young to really appreciate the Beatles and Stones at that time. I do enjoy discovering their music now. Have a great New Year.
If you like the first box set, this one will not disappoint. 🔥♥️ I didn't grow up in that era but I do remember a lot of the songs still being played on the radio. Thank you and take care.
I am only commenting back, because you read my mind, that brought back memories. Your comment to me was like you read my mind!. You said, you have a lot of memories connected to The Rolling Stones and the juke box. It's wonderful how music can take us back to those special times. Listening to the Rolling Stones on the jukebox, with all the spectators on the sidelines, almost 60 years ago, on the raised hardwood bank curved roller skating rink floor, where the raised hardwood floor reverberating louder. My dad had businesses around that rink that I went to for 5 years that is still there. I get fond memories everytime I pass by that place. I look at that place & get spooked each time I go by that place, like I miss it very much, but the newer rink doesnt have that same feeling with the skates & Music shaking the floor, & the crowds. No one had nothing to do, most of the old people men would come to watch, because I believe they wanted to watch the girls, & think they were still young again!! Old people sort of loved that wild hippy stuff!
Melinda, this really brought back distant memories. Back in '68 and '69 I got the original 45 singles for 'She's a Rainbow', 'Jumping Jack Flash', and 'Honky Tonk Women' in those picture sleeves. How cool....
Very cool. You were around for an incredible time in music. These 45's look great and sound even better. ♥️ The picture sleeves are so cool. Thank you and take care.
"Brown Sugar" was originally backed with two songs on the B-side - "Bitch" and a live version of the Chuck Berry cover "Let it Rock". "Wild Horses" was originally a separate single with "Sway" as the B-side.
Even if this isn't the way it originally was, I love having these two songs on the same single. They are my favorite songs from Sticky Fingers. ♥️ They were on fire at this time. 🔥Thank you and take care.
Hi, Melinda. Wonderful review of a wonderful box set indeed! :) The run of singles and albums the Stones had during that period is only matched by the Beatles for me. Take care, and see you again very soon for another fantastic video:)
@@MelindaMurphy And when it comes to solo artists, let's not forget a little guy from Minnesota called Bob Dylan, who also released masterpieces at the time:) You're more than welcome:) Your passion for music is infectious and you are a kindred soul to all of us music lovers:) Bless you and your family!
That's awesome that ABKO sent you the box set. This is one that I'd like to get myself but just can't really spend the money on currently. I wish they could come out with an LP with all of the 45 songs on it haha. I do like that they have the smaller spindle holes than the originals had. I always wondered growing up why they made the holes bigger on 45s and you had to use the adapter to listen to those haha. Interesting video Melinda! And I love the song 2000 Light Years a lot. It's one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs. Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
This is an awesome box set. Keep your eye out for it because at some point, it may go on sale. Abkco will give a 10 percent discount if you sign up for emails. I agree with you that I like the smaller spindle holes. It's nice to not have to search for an adapter. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
@@MelindaMurphy Thanks for the information and reply back. I'll keep a lookout for a future discount. I'm not sure how many of the box sets were made but I'm guessing it was probably quite a few. Enjoy!
Great single collection of The Rolling Stones (1966-1971) Melinda.I have several box sets of The Rolling Stones,but albums of one of my favorite bands.
They are one of my favorite bands too. I can't think of a band with more hit songs from such a long span of time. It's cool that they are still putting out new music. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphy yes I do! I always stood by their record player when they played records. I had a picture of me when I was little by their player. It was lost years ago 😕
Hi Melinda. That is a really good box set. I think I’ve said before that I have a CD box set Singles 1963-1965 also a CD box set , singles collection, The London Years. All sound superb. Love to get on Vinyl. I was growing up in the Sixties a huge decade for me. Leaving school, joining the Army. The Music was incredible, the artists and groups even more so. The Beatles, The Stones of course The Hollies and The Animals at the fore. It was a superb decade of music, colour, fashion. The changing world. I’d go back there anytime !!! Great video once more Melinda. Thank you. Take care.
Singles were fun to buy and collect. I bought a few 45s before they stopped selling them. We were connected to a band as a fan in a personal way that doesn’t exist anymore. You had different photos and sometimes the single was a different take from the official release. So you got two versions of a song! That doesn’t happen anymore. I think fans were very loyal and followed a band through every single. This is back when we cared about music. This type of marketing doesn’t exist anymore. Sub pop had a singles club with EPs too! Now Love Buzz by Nirvana is worth $800 to 1G! I do like boxed sets but can’t afford them anymore. It’s great to have it all complete in a Box and lid cover that you can display or move as you like. I bet you don’t know Jagger was paranoid around Altamonte and carried a small pistol around probably in his shoes or back. It was a voilent time kind off like now. And two performers were murdered on stage not too long ago. So he wasn’t paranoid for nothing. Stage performers are a target. I’m for bringing back the Brady Bill and banning AssaultRifles but nobody cares sMo the mass shootings will continue. Too bad🥲 Anyway thanks! 😊
I have fond memories of buying the singles from my favorite bands and artists. It was cool when the B side was something different from the album. That was fun. Everything is so different now. There will probably never be bands as big as The Beatles and The Stones again. ☹️ I'm so glad The Stones are still around and making music. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
It's so cool that you remember that first time of hearing a song that still gets played over and over again today. ♥️ Thank you for sharing that cool memory. ♥️🤗 Satisfaction is a song for the ages. Take care.
I love the remasters that Rudy Van Gelder does of his original masters. This is by far the best sounding album that I ever heard. The xylophones has the longest loudest shimmer to showcase the best speakers. This is a 2008 remaster of a 1966 album. I have the cd, & vinyl of this. This album goes from $30 to $300. This is on youtube: Bobby Hutcherson-Happenings
Wow, amazing to see this box finally released. I can remember getting a 3-cd box back in 1989 or so. It was The Rolling Stones, The London Years. There were like 58 singles in that collection, from Come On to Sympathy for the Devil. For the time, it was pretty far out in the red sky, but nothing like these new vinyl releases.
Yes, this is an incredible box set. I'm glad to see it getting a new vinyl release. They sound great. I will enjoy having them in my Rolling Stones collection. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
I love that picture from Paint It Black. It's such a classic song. I agree that this is probably my favorite era of The Stones. The 70's and early 80's were pretty cool too. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
Thank you Melinda for another great video. I can hardly wait to get my new 7" boxed set. Amazon emailed me and told me to expect it 2/5. From my personal experience, when I see ABKCO on anything, I expect them to have cheaped-out and cut corners wherever they could get away with it. The 45 "I Don't Know Why/Try A Little Harder" WAS released, and released worldwide in 1975. It appeared everywhere on the Decca, London or ABKCO labels. The "Brown Sugar/Wild Horses" 45 was original included in the "Sticky Fingers" deluxe boxed set, plus it was on the Rolling Stones record label as both singles had been originally released on. Again, when both of these songs were released on eaches own 45, a stereo version was only provided to radio stations as promos. Everybody else only got mono. Also, there was a short/long mono promo 45 for AM radio stations. Off the top of my head, I believe that the 45 included with the deluxe boxed set was disappointingly mono. The 45 "Out Of Time/Jiving Sister Fanny" was also first released in 1975 worldwide on the same various record labels. It was originally released in stereo. Who knows what ABKCO did to it. Then there was the "Honky Tonk Women/You can't Always Get What You Want" 45. It was originally released in mono, but again, "Honky Tonk Women" was sent to radio stations in stereo and mono. The original mono 45 had a real kick to it with lots of bass. The U.S. London copies were all injection-molded on poly-styrene. These gave a good kick but the sound was kind of distorted. In Canada, their 45's were only pressed on vinyl. So, in my jukebox, I have the Canadian vinyl promo 45 on London. It still kicks but is alot smoother. I would imagine the original Decca U.K. 45 would sound similar, as it was also pressed on vinyl. A re-issue was included in the "Let It Bleed" anniversary boxed set, but again, disappointingly it was mono. Even worse, it doesn't have as good of a bass kick as the original. It was probably digitally remastered and folded down from stereo. I fear that this same version is what is in the 7" boxed set. Hopefully, that extra "Double A" copy on Decca will be stereo.
Wow! Thank you for the great information. These 45's sound great and the Abkco company of today didn't cut any corners for this wonderful box set. It's everything I hoped it would be. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Nice job on the video and IMO, you nail it on this box set. I actually have this box along with the one previous to this on CD. Abkco absolutely nails it on quality regarding the sound, the picture sleeves, extras and the box construction itself.
Thank you for the review, Melinda! I will definitely have to pick that up. I have the CD version of the singles collection: The London Years which I believe covers most if not all of the songs in the two 45 box sets except the remixes of Sympathy For the Devil. I’m hoping that ABKCO reissues the vinyl version at some point. Love the Stones! Can’t wait to see them in June!
I hope you enjoy the show. It's my dream to be able to see them this summer. ♥️ This is definitely the box set to have. The songs are so good. I don't think music gets better than this. Thank you and take care.
Melinda, just so you know, it’s actually Brian Jones playing the recorder on Ruby Tuesday. Also, the song Dandelion came out years before Keith’s daughter was born. Exactly who the song is about, if anyone in particular, is not known.
Yes, I accidentally said Bill instead of Brian. From the research I did in making this video, it was said that Dandelion was about Keith's daughter. That could be incorrect information but that is what a couple of my sources said. Either way, it's a great song. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
The stones keep going going and going. lol. mick , keith , still playing going into their 80s wow. Sad Charlie watts passed away. RIP . bill Wyman wish he would play one more time with them . great video beautiful melinda as always 👍. awesome set of vinyl and posters and booklets 👍
It is sad that Charlie is gone. I'm thrilled that they are still going though and even putting out new music. This box set represents a magical era for The Stones. ♥️🤗 The music still holds up today. Thank you and take care.
Great sweatshirt Melinda. Your rock and roll wardrobe seems almost as expansive as your record collection. The box of singles looks fantastic, I may need to push the button on this one. Jumping Jack Flash was huge when I was a kid, love the intro guitar riff with that almost warped sound. Great video. Be good.
Based on the quality of the songs, this would be a special one to have. The records sound great. This is my favorite era of The Rolling Stones although all eras are pretty good. Thank you and take care. ♥️😃
I own all 3 of the CD singles box sets from Abkco that were released in the mid-'00s: 1963-1965, 1965-1967, and 1968-1971. These vinyl versions appear to have the same artwork as the CD boxes from 20 years ago. Anyway, every few years, I pull out my CD singles boxes and give them a listen or two. Well worth the purchase and have certainly got much enjoyment from them.
They are a lot of fun. I enjoy pulling out my 45's when I'm in the mood to listen to sentimental songs and the big hits. ♥️ This box set and the artwork is great. Thank you and take care.
Great video Melinda, congrats. My favorite single in your box is She’s A Rainbow b/w 2,000 Light Years from Home. Best songs from Satanic Majesty’s Request. I have far too many Rolling Stones albums to justify buying a box of 45’s. But that is cool to see. And I Loved Once Upon A Time in Hollywood too! Highly underrated/talked about Tarantino movie. My favorite QT film behind Pulp Fiction. Anyway, thanks for sharing and have a great day
Pulp Fiction is pretty good too. The She's A Rainbow single is one I have been wanting for a very long time. It's cool to finally have it. I'm just a big Rolling Stones fan so I like having these in my collection. I can't say they were a huge need but they were definitely a huge want . Lol. Thank you and take care. ♥️
Hi Melinda - Great review, wonderful content. I have not purchased any modern 45s, so I was surprised they do not need plastic spindle adapters. BTW, luv your hair straight.
Melinda thats a great collectors item, now in my personal situation being a Rolling Stones freak on a frugal budget I went for the GRRR! compilation (CD's) which comprises their hits from the 60s, 70's, 80's and beyond (3 cds and 52 songs) for like $35, that was the best paid money for that much content and I really enjoy it.
I agree this is a terrific box set. The records sound great and the picture sleeves look fantastic. I'm sure what you have is a great compilation album. I tend to pick up a lot of The Stones releases and this one is one of my favorites. Thank you for watching and take care. ♥️🤗
I remember Performance being played on cable in the early 80s. I couldn't understand it at all. But I was only 13 or 14 at the time. I need to check it out again.
Nice review! That looks like a great box set. I like the Stones but have never been a huge fan of them. Some songs I thought would be there are Bitch and Gimme Shelter but I guess those were not singles. I have a couple studio albums (Let it Bleed, Exile and Goats Head Soup) and Hot Rocks with Goats Head being my favorite. I like boxsets of singles like that...I have KISS Casablanca singles and Ace Frehley singles boxsets. Great video and take care!
I agree. I love the singles box sets and own the ones that are from my favorite bands. I have that Kiss box set and I love it too. 😍 Thank you and take care.
Amazing classic Stones music in the 45 record format with picture sleeve. Have you heard the new Stones album Hackney Diamonds? It has been getting great reviews for critics and fans alike. The Stones wrote the book on longevity of a rock and roll band both in energy and creativity. :)
Hackney Diamonds is a great album. I love that they keep going and are making new music. My dream is to see them in concert. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Thanks for another great video. Yes, I was one of the lucky ones to hear the Beatles and Stones singles as they came out. Performance is a weird tripped out movie. I don't think it's that good, but at the end there's (what looks like) a music video for Memo From Turner. It might be worth it to see it once.
Nice overview. ABKCO do a great job at reissues. Both of the 7" singles on the ABKCO label that are included in the box were originally released to help promote the METAMORPHOSIS album in 1975. 'I Don't Know Why' came out in June and peaked at #42. You mention it was previously unreleased...is this box set version different than the 1975 7" version? I live in NY and often take friends to the location where both the front and back cover photos on the sleeve for 'Have You Seen Your Mother' were shot. Take note, their clothes in the color shot are the same outfits that they wore on their 9/11/66 Ed Sullivan Show performance for 'Have You Seen Your Mother' and 'Lady Jane'. I'm guessing the photos were shot within a day or so of the broadcast. I do an all-vinyl Friday afternoon shift on a local non-com radio station, and always play a London era Stones single using my original copies. They sound spectacular on the air. I can only imagine what these reissues must be like if they sound even better.
Hello! Thank you for sharing such wonderful information. The album cover for I Don't Know Why has a sleeve that says "never before released" but I think that they were just keeping the sleeve as original looking as possible for this box set so they left that on for the sleeve. This has been out as a CD box set before. I couldn't find any information about a release from 1975 but I don't doubt you. 😀 I'm glad it's back in print. The original 45's were probably made perfectly for the airwaves. It's hard to find the originals in clean shape. I do prefer the sound quality of this box set but the originals are cool. ♥️ Going to the location of that photo shoot would be very cool. I'm glad that you are able to treat your friends to a special place in history. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
Another great video! I've been eyeing these sets for a while and it's phenomenal that ABKCO reached out to offer a freebie for you! I love to hear stories like that! I can relate with what you said about being envious to anyone who was around to witness all that music when it was new. I've been screaming that for years! 😀 One thing I've learned is if I ever come across a rare item like a picture sleeve with a trashed record or vice versa, especially at a decent price, I'll buy it. That $25.00 "She's A Rainbow" you let go at a flea market, you should've bought it as all you had to do was replace the record. I paid $85.00 for my copy. 😯 The four original US sleeves I don't have are predictable: "Heart Of Stone", "Satisfaction", "We Love You" and , of course, "Street Fighting Man" which is beyond stupidly scarce. There are about 10 copies known to exist (fascinating story behind the destruction of that sleeve). Speaking of "Street Fighting Man", IIRC correctly, the earlier pressings of that US 45 feature an early rough mix of the song with different vocals. My original 45 has said rough version. Have you checked which one you have? I really don't know when London changed it to the fold down mono mix of the album version. You should check and see! By the way, don't let anyone tell you Lennon and McCartney "allegedly" appear on "We Love You". They most certainly do and it's been documented 7,646,333,843,006 times. It's funny you mentioned "Child Of The Moon" being a bit of a goodbye to the psychedelic era. The song was demoed in 1967 during the sessions for "Their Satanic Majesties Request" but wasn't recorded until March, 1968, so, it just missed that ship. I think it would've fit perfectly on that album. I've created my own version of said album which, IMO, makes it one of their all time best. Note: I have a minty US mono copy of said LP still in the shrink! I also have a used Canadian mono pressing too. It seems the US mono pressings vary from dedicated and fold down mixes. If you are in search of the true mono pressing, before buying, be sure to find out which version it is. The main clue are the three bells on the intro to "The Lantern". Three = mono. Two = fold down or stereo. Anyway, I love checking in on your videos! Keep 'em coming and let the grooviness roll! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thank you so much for the information. From what I could tell while listening to it, Street Fighting Man sounds like the version I would hear on the radio. It didn't sound different to me. I have heard that the original sleeve is extremely rare and expensive. I guess I will just be content with the one from this box. Same with She's A Rainbow. I had no idea a 45 of that song was that expensive. I should have bought the sleeve. Lol. Oh well. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
Hey! If you watched until the end, I gave a shout out to Em ♥️ She would definitely love this box set. It has some of the most incredible Rolling Stones songs on it. Love you!
They had so many great hit singles and didn't really make a bad song. This was an incredible span of time for them. I apologize for saying it was Bill. I read that wrong while doing my research. Jones on recorder makes a lot more sense. Thank you and take care.
24:20 - I saw that movie and got chills when that song as played . I had no idea how it would all end. Brilliant filmmaking on Tarantino's part. His best.
Hey Melinda, wonderful video. Thanks for sharing this boxed set with us. Are the singles in the boxed set remastered and in mono &/or stereo? That would account for the improved sound. Unfortunately the reality was that the sound of a lot of their original singles wasnt great. 'Thin sounding' was a good way to describe it. Sometimes Mick's voice sounded like he was competing with the band volume wise (for example "Have You Seen Your Mother...") . The mono mixing wasn't really great, compared to Beatles singles of the same era. The later ones improved from around 1968/9 onwards though I think they had changed producer by then. I remember seeing Aussie pressings of Decca Stones singles in our house growing up in the 60'sm usually bought by my older brothers. I have pretty much all of the Australian Stones Decca singles in my collection with some UK, US & NZ thrown in too. I'm tempted to try to get both Singles boxed sets, though I do have the 4 LP & 3 CD Singles boxed sets from the early 90's. The sad drawback (if any) will be that the Stones don't own the rights to tracks their famous era, thanks to 'Mr. Abkco', Allen Klein their former manager. Not sure what they will get from this release if anything. Interesting to note also that each single had 'solid centres'. The quality looks similar to The Beatles Singles box from a few years back. I will seek it out. Just need to find the space for it lol. Love your work Melinda. Take care sweetheart ❤😘😘
Hey! ♥️😀 The quality is on par with that Beatles singles box set. The sound quality is great. The majority of the singles are in mono but songs like Brown Sugar are in stereo. They all sound very good and a big improvement to my ears from the originals I compared them to. This is such a great era of The Stones. It's so cool that you have the memory of seeing those old 45's around your home. I hope The Stones do get some of the profits from their own music but the good news is that they don't really need the money. That's what's so refreshing about them. They are still making music and performing because they want to - not because they have to ♥️ Thank you for the kind words. Have a beautiful day. 😀
As an aside the photo on the "Paint It Black" picture sleeve was shot in Los Angeles at Franklin Canyon Reservoir near Hollywood, CA. The Stones "Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass)" album cover photo was photographed there as well. This area was (and is) extensively used in the TV and film industry. The opening to the Andy Griffith Show where Andy and Opie walk down the trail to the lake was filmed there.
my first memory of the stones on American TV was a local los Angelas broadcast from an event called the teen age fair, where they didn't have the band, just jagger dancing in the street performing in front of temporary bleachers, in black and white back in those days. I get the feeling that this was in association with the TAMA event, a pay to view theatrical event, viewable on you tube.
For a Stones fan and those who like the 7" 45 rpm format, this looks like a very nice box set. It reminds me of the very first Stones vinyl album I acquired back in the early '80's. It is "Hot Rocks 1964 -1971". I remember the sound level being low on the album, so you had to really crank it up to rock out. I liked this album so much that I also got a CD version later on. I consider this time period to be the Stones' golden age. My top three favorite songs on the album are Jumping Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women, and Brown Sugar. Did you know that Brown Sugar and Wild Horses were recorded at the Fame Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama? Yes, that's the Muscle Shoals immortalized in Lynyrd Skynyrd's song Sweet Home Alabama. ❤Fame was one of the greatest recording studios in the world at the time, and the Stones like many other artists wanted to get in on the action to record there. 😻 If you haven't seen the Muscle Shoals Fame Studio documentary, you'll love it. Though I'm not a fan of the 7" 45 rpm format, I can really see and understand your enthusiasm for this music. It's certainly some of the greatest rock music ever recorded. 👍👍👍
I agree. This was an incredible period for The Stones. ♥️ Every song was special and Hot Rocks is probably my favorite compilation album of all time. This is a great box set and the sound quality is extremely good. I do need to see that documentary. ♥️ Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
It's great that they used the original cover art for the "Street Fighting Man" 45 picture sleeve. Back in 1968 when the single was released London Records decided not to release that sleeve due to its controversial photos. Most were destroyed but a handful were kept as souvenirs by London employees. This Holy Grail picture sleeve has sold for over $30,000.00.
There's some great stuff coming out today; it just isn't in the mainstream. There has been a resurgence in blues and blues based rock. Check out Rival Sons, Tab Benoit, Beth Hart, and Larkin Poe to name just a few. Many of the classic rock musicians who are still alive love these artists. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Melinda, one thing you should bring up about the Rolling Stones is that quite a few of the B sides of the singles were never released on albums like Who’s Driving my plane, Child of the Moon and Sad Day and Stoned
As a kid spectator I'd go to the skating rink curved bank round wood track & listen to the jukebox playing mostly the rolling stones very early music that the wood floor vibrating the bass louder. Many went the to meet girls, & that always brought along some people's rowdiness there in the south. I wanted my dad to start a skating rink with his building to make a lot of money, but I think my dad mistakenly didn't do it, because the owner of the skating rink knew my dad well, & he told my dad he wished he hadnt done the skating rink for rowdy kids there. Funny thing he ran the skating rink forever. Piles of adults like to watch as spectators, many were men there that I guess liked to watch the pretty girls. During the Viet Nam war hippy women were after the few menl, even during the seventies it wasnt looked down on, as itis today, to have a few girlfriends, but I was too young at the beginning of the hippy craze. There were a few kids bands then, but only the Beatles were eagerly waiting for their records, but it was a really boring time back then, we had nothing to do, but go out with our friends & play records. But truthfully cds starting making music more popular, truthfully 3 years ago, yotube made records popular, until they took most of them off. You was speaking of prescription drugs, for a few years, every one of our mothers were taking diet drugs & never able then with women & their pretty clothes, unlike todays couch potatoes. People were shyer then & hated the pictures taken, unlike we are use to intrusive cameras now. Sorry for the long post, but you mentioned parents prescription drugs, but I dont like to do a halfway unintelligible nastalgic point.
You have a lot of memories connected to The Roing Stones and the juke box. It's wonderful how music can take us back to those special times. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Some of us was expecting it to be out seven months ago due to the re-release of the color Vinyl Mono Box set it got pushed back I am glad it's out I should have mine next Friday I ordered it right away from ABKCO . I knew ABKCO would send you out another free box set they know you can do a better job on Promoting their stuff like the other six I see on here I will compare my 1966 Paint It Black to the 2024 single I will get outer sleeves for everyone of the singles like I did with the last box set and my Creedence Singles Box Set Take Care .
It's a terrific box set. The singles in this set sound better to my ear but I hope you will let me know your opinion. They were kind to send this my way and I am so grateful . ♥️ I purchased the first volume and would have bought this one as well. It's definitely worth it to me. This is an amazing time period for The Stones. Thank you and enjoy your box set. Take care. ♥️🤗
I'm not sure if the grooves are deeper but the bass definitely sounds better and the shrillness that was present on some of the originals is completely gone with this box set. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
Hi Melinda did you know that' Steve Marriott the lead singer of the small faces is singing backing vocals on on Bill Wyman's In another land Steve also does the trumpet sound I love the rolling stones T shirt you're wearing I don't think I could pull off at my age my kids would laugh at me😂
I already have indentical cd single boxes that came out a few years ago with identical booklet and photos apart from ABKO managed to squeeze into 3 boxes rather than the 2 of the vinyl sets. All good stuff but think will pass on buying for a second time.Cheers
Hey, Melinda! Are the earlier singles in this 66-71 box in mono or stereo (up to Jumpin' Jack Flash)? Performance is worth seeing but it is very disturbing in places; some visuals are there to make you feel almost nauseated; a menacing part of the movie featuring the soundtrack instrumental called Rolls Royce & Acid is not about LSD. There is, however, an amazing sex scene with Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg.
If only ABCKO would do a proper remaster job on Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed! I got the 50th anniversary Beggars & Bleed. Beggars is so muffled it sounds like it's playing in the next room. The 2003 DSD256 vinyl reissue is way better. ABCKO's Let it Bleed 50th is much better IMHO; best copy of Bleed I have. An ABCKO backed Analogue Productions 45rpm of Beggars and Bleed would be my dream....
I agree that it would be cool if Analogue Productions were able to get some of The Rolling Stones catalog. I have the mono copies of Let It Bleed and Beggars Banquet from the mono box set and they sound wonderful to me - especially Beggars Banquet. ♥️ The singles in this box set are great too. Thank you and take care.
Curious why these new singles are coming out with a smaller center hole compared to the traditional 45 hole that requires an adapter? I know my latest Pro-Ject turntable was the first I have bought that didn't come with a 45 adapter. Speaking of the Stones and drug busts, I hope you have read Keith Richard's autobiography. It starts off with the tale of Fordyce, AR, and it's county sheriff. Fortunately, their American lawyer was good friend with Jimmy Carter at the time. Great story! Great book!
I do need to read that book. 😀 That would be very interesting. I like that an adapter isn't needed. I wonder if that's how they made them in the UK at that time? 🤔 Thank you and take care. ♥️
@@MelindaMurphy the book, as you could probably guess is a roller coaster ride. I think you will shocked at some of the stories he tells, the irony of a few (I don't want to give anything away), and that for the cliche version of him, he's actually not that at all.
@@MelindaMurphy I finally got around to ordering The Rolling Stones Mono box set on Amazon. Now I am afraid. I knew it was an import, but it didn't specify where it was coming from. The tracking shows China. I started reading the reviews. Poor quality printing on the covers and sleeves, dirty sounding, and two copies of Beggar's Banquet and no Stray Cats. I ran into this problem in 2009 when I ordered The Beatles mono box set on Amazon and got a Chinese counterfeit. Ugh! Have you heard of this set being counterfeited by Chinese?
@@claybowler751 if you ordered it from Amazon, it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't heard of any counterfeit box sets being made for this. The albums sound very nice and the covers look great. Let me know when it arrives. Like I said, if it was ordered from Amazon you shouldn't have anything to worry about. ♥️🤗
I'm not sure but if this is a great seller, I would imagine they will. I personally hope so. There are still several amazing hits to go. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
I looked at the information but didn't see how many were pressed. I assume once they sell out, they're gone. If I find out the number, I will come back and tell you. Thank you and take care.
