TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION

The Rolling Stones In Mono (Limited Coloured Vinyl Edition) features the entirety of the band's 1960s studio output, each pressed on a different colour. Fourteen original mono albums are included in this set, including UK and US versions of Out Of Our Heads and Aftermath. Also included is the special collection Stray Cats, a 2LP set incorporating every 1960s Rolling Stones track that isn't on the other 14 albums. This limited-edition numbered box set includes a 48-page booklet with an essay by David Fricke.

Spanning the era between 1963 and 1969, The Rolling Stones in Mono covers the formative years of "The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World." During this era, most rock and pop recordings were originally recorded in mono, with stereo often an afterthought, dealt with only following the completion of the original (mono) version of a given track. In short, mono reigned and this was, indeed, the case for the Rolling Stones during the period. While typical playback systems of the time were less than sophisticated, the original mono recordings, especially as heard through quality components, were of the highest audio quality and had a powerful and very direct impact.

"You felt you were in the room . . . listening to exactly what went down in the studio, no frills, no nothing," Keith Richards wrote in his autobiography, Life. "Rock was a completely new musical form," Mick Jagger explained in a 1995 Rolling Stone interview. "It hadn't been around for ten years when we started doing it . . . You felt like one of the chosen few, one of the only ones in the world who would get to play with this new toy. We had evangelical fervor." Late recording engineer Dave Hassinger explained how he mixed his '64-'66 work for the Stones in mono, "They always played together at the same time," Hassinger said. "They would run the parts down, work out the changes here and there, nail it down, then start recording."

Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke, in his 5,000-word essay that accompanies the set, writes, "The Rolling Stones in Mono is the full studio account of that first decade of history and mayhem, newly remastered with unprecedented fidelity and revelatory detail." His commentary is included with this vinyl box set as part of a 4-colour deluxe 48-page lie flat book that features numerous rare photos by renowned photographer Terry O'Neill. The 16 LPs are housed in the original full color album jackets that fit along with the book into a one-piece specially crafted box.
