The Stones Mono Box Set 1964 - 1969

Tony do we know if like the Beatles. Mono box it's going to be all AAA?

Any info on who is in charge of the transfers.  At £399 for the vinyl  it needs to be done properly....Think I will wait to read some trusted reviews. 

ATB Graham.

Graham, details are very scarce but here is done thing I dragged out of the net:

"The Rolling Stones in Mono was mastered by engineer Bob Ludwig. For the project he utilised Direct Stream Digital (DSD) transfers from the original master recordings, with a sampling rate of 2,822,400. Lacquer cutting for vinyl was performed at Abbey Road Studios by Alex Wharton and Sean Magee.

All vinyl box sets will be numbered and pressed on 180-gram vinyl. The CD box also boasts high quality ‘mini-LP CD’ vinyl replica packages, much like the Beatles mono CD box."

As you said, better wait until we get a full picture of what's involved before committing to buy. I already own most of this  material either in mono or stereo. But, as you know, there is something rather special about original mono pressings.

Tho I only owned Green Grass  I really love that early basic chug and twang Stones British blues. The British invasion hit America hard and swept us away on the radio. When I listen to 60s on Sirius radio in my car  It's the roots music that holds on, not the orchestrated pop.  But we sure did have variety back then on new FM radio.  WDAS in Philly would play Beethoven's 5th and then Hendrix soaring guitar, invasion blues and then something for fun.  Then I moved to southern California at 16 1970 and it was west coast, Elton, Joni, Van Morrison, Zep, Beach Boys, Beatles.  One of my deep faves is Tull's Stand Up, I had never heard anything so exotic in my WHOLE life, all 16 years.

Like the Beatles Mono I'll buy a few.
