The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones in Historic Mono THE TREMENDOUSLY RARE AND VALUABLE CD BOX SET - NOTE THAT THIS BOX COMES WITH IT'S ORIGINAL CARDBAORD CONTAINER FOR STORAGE OF THIS ITEM AND IS IN THE SECOND PICTURE.
- THIS IS OUR ONE AND ONLY COPY LEFT FOREVER.
For the first time ever, all mono studio recordings released by The Rolling Stones in the 1960s WAS available in one unique historic collection. The collection contains a total of 186 tracks, 56 of which have never before been heard in mono since the advent of the digital age.
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 commentaries are
included with the CD box sets as part of a 4-color deluxe 48 page lie flat book
that features numerous rare photos by renowned photographer Terry O’Neill. The
15 CDs are housed in the original full color album jackets that fit along with
the book into a one piece specially crafted box.
The Rolling Stones in Mono was mastered by acclaimed GRAMMY
award winning engineer Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering. For the project he
utilized 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. The Rolling
Stones in Mono project has been overseen by Teri Landi, ABKCO’s Grammy award
winning Chief Audio Engineer.
