The Rolling Stones in Mono is a box set by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released by ABKCO Records in September 2016. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] It contains most of the group's British and American studio albums from the 1960s in mono format, on fifteen compact discs or sixteen vinyl records. All tracks were remastered using the Direct Stream Digital process by Bob Ludwig. [10] The original recordings were produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, Jimmy Miller and the Rolling Stones.

Content

The Rolling Stones in Mono omits the American versions of the band's debut album and of Between the Buttons ; the former as there is only a difference of one track between the two, and the latter as it replaces two tracks with the 1967 single "Let's Spend the Night Together" backed with "Ruby Tuesday", both of which also appear on the compilation Flowers included here. Their Satanic Majesties Request , Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed were issued with identical track listings in each nation. The last two are not dedicated mono mixes, as none were made, but are the stereo mixes folded-down into mono. [11] Albums included in this box set are listed below. [12] [13] The box also includes all tracks released on the band's two studio EPs, The Rolling Stones and Five by Five .

A compilation unique to this set, Stray Cats, comprises 24 tracks issued by the Stones in the 1960s that did not appear on the albums listed. Most were issued on singles. Two appeared on a 1964 Decca Records compilation of items from roster artists, Saturday Club; three tracks were on the band's first EP; although issued on the US live album Got Live If You Want It! , their version of "I've Been Loving You Too Long" is a studio recording with audience sounds added later. There is also the Italian language version of "As Tears Go By" issued in Italy and the dedicated mono mix of "Street Fighting Man" released as a single in the United States. Stray Cats also contains both covers of "Poison Ivy": one appearing on a Decca promotional album; the second on the band's first EP.

<i>Let It Bleed</i> 1969 studio album by the Rolling Stones

Let It Bleed is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 28 November 1969 by London Records in the United States and on 5 December 1969 by Decca Records in the United Kingdom. Released during the band's 1969 American Tour, it is the follow-up to Beggars Banquet (1968), and like that album is a return to the group's more blues-oriented approach that was prominent in the pre-Aftermath (1966) period of their career. Additional sounds on the album draw influence from gospel, country blues and country rock.

<i>Forty Licks</i> 2002 greatest hits album by the Rolling Stones

Forty Licks is a double compilation album by the Rolling Stones. A 40-year career-spanning retrospective, Forty Licks is notable for being the first retrospective to combine their formative Decca/London era of the 1960s, now licensed by ABKCO Records, with their self-owned post-1970 material, distributed at the time by Virgin/EMI but now distributed by ABKCO's own distributor Universal Music Group. Four new songs are included on the second disc. The album was a commercial success, as it reached No. 2 on both UK and US charts. Concurrently with the album's release, the Stones embarked on the successful, year-long international Licks Tour, which would result in the subsequent Live Licks album being released in 2004.

<i>Between the Buttons</i> 1967 studio album by the Rolling Stones

Between the Buttons is the fifth British and seventh American studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 20 January 1967 in the UK and 10 February in the US. Reflecting the band's brief foray into psychedelia and baroque pop balladry during the era, the album is among their most eclectic works; multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones frequently abandoned his guitar during the sessions in favour of instruments such as organ, marimba, dulcimer, vibraphone, kazoo, and theremin. Keyboard contributions came from two session players: former Rolling Stones member Ian Stewart and frequent contributor Jack Nitzsche. Between the Buttons would be the last album produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, who had, to this point, acted as the band's manager and produced all of their albums.

<i>Out of Our Heads</i> 1965 studio album by the Rolling Stones
