If you can find it, The Kinks Mono Collection is a great set as well! I thankfully got it for $180 back in 2016, but it's quite a bit more now.
I always find it fascinating to see the US versions of records because I'm so used to the labels that we got here in England it's really cool to see that the labels are completely different over in the US since we got the rolling stones records released on Decca and you guys got it on London (I think it is still apart of Decca but the US branch not 100% on that fact)

Thank you for your nice review and video..This box set is a must have!! Cannot wait to put my hands on the copy I ordered.
It’s crazy what the Stones managed to accomplish in such a short period of time! It’s a great box set! Edit: By the way, you did an excellent review. Thanks for the information!
I carefully took off the external paper showing the contents of the box set and stuck it on the inside of the front flap. This makes it easy to see when you open the box without risking damage while placing back on my shelf. That is nuts that you got No. 1/10,000 - wow!
THNX! very much for letting me check it out 👍
Love it! Cheers for the review and unboxing!
Oh nice! Thank you for your video :) I definitely ordered this now!! Cant wait :)
I thought this was a very good review. You come across as natural and honest. Not trying to be smooth and hip about it all. Very informative 👍
Having braille on the record cover by the previous owner is quite cool. Packaging looks quite cool.
Sweet edition number. Even more collectible.
Love your unboxings dude
Congratulations dude!

It's not limited to 10.000 copies. Mine is 11562/12300 Maybe it's copie number has been expanded, I also got the better innersleeves. Not just plain thick paper but paper with anti static plastics inside
I got this LP set cheaper from a Boxing Day sale, for around $407 CAN. total. It will be a nice companion to my Rolling Stones' "Studio Albums 1971 - 2016" LP box set, which I also got for a great deal, $180 US + shipping/ duty, about $280 CAN. I hadn't got back into vinyl yet, when the 2016 LP set was released, so I'm glad to get another shot at this box set.
Great video as always. I don't want to spoil the party, but my guess is that all promo copies have the #1. Also Melissa received a promotional copy, which she showed on her KZread channel and it is also the #1. But nevertheless it is great to get this item for free. I will not purchase it, I have a German "The Rolling Stones Story " from 1980 in absolute mint condition including all albums released in Germany between 1964 and 1969 including the both live albums. That are sufficient Stones for me. But the reissue on colored vinyl looks so great 👍
I have original first-release MONO. The sleeves are in excellent condition because I kept the original cellophane on them.
Great unboxing video 👏 How about a Part 2 follow up after you have had time to properly listen to everything?
Now that the Beatles and the Stones have mono boxes, I can't help but want a mono box for my #1 favorite band, The Beach Boys. Might not be totally necessary because, unless I'm wrong, the remasters on vinyl are already in both stereo and mono. I know that's the case with the CDs, anyway. But I would still like a nice, shiny box with all of them there in one place, Surfin' Safari (1962) through Wild Honey (1967). Everything from Friends (1968) onward are only in stereo.
This is very very tempting
I noticed a few other KZreadrs got #1 box I guess they lied about the quantities pressed. It’s all numbered to get people to pull the trigger. In reality there not as limited as described.
I’m sure I’ve got Let It Bleed original in Mono (UK). You’re being so nice and understanding- original covers look better apart from wear and tear. Looks like they haven’t put in as much love and care as The Beatles Mono set.
The Dylan mono vinyl box release is stunning.
You got a lower number than Parlogram! Wow! 😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I actually got my box from ABKCO so I picked it up cheaper from them than anywhere else!
Melinda Murphy youtuber also got a Number 1 set??? Just ordered either way as missed this first time round. I'm a beatleman ..but the stones are in my top 3 bands of all time. I'm assuming you will be reviewing the sound of the vinyl will look forward to it!
A great box set for one of the most recognizable bands of all time! I love listening to the Stones in mono when they were in their London years until "Aftermath". At that point and especially on albums like "Beggars Banquet", I feel like mono doesn't do them that much justice because there is so much going on instrumentally. In the end, it's just a matter of how you mix it properly and most of the times, like on Beatles songs, it goes to extremes of the left or right ear.
"A-B-K-CO" is Allen B. Klein Company -- "ABKCO". He also owns "The [Early] Animals" and "Herman's Hermits".
Awesome unboxing and review Eric, I just saw your video earlier today and this set looks amazing. I have the CD set already so I think I will pass on this since I have other stuff on my wishlist that I want more. Still looks like a fun set with all the different colors and just a little thing to point out, I think Satanic Majesties Request in the color vinyl box had the zoomed in picture fixed because in the 2016 black vinyl version (And cd version) the cover image looks like it was zoomed in.

Just seems somewhat odd to use #1 multiple times for promotional purposes. A promo is usually stamped a promo in numerous ways, or if they’re going to be numbered copies, they’re not numbered at all. Even a hole punch or corner cut like certain promos used to have. They’re obviously not WLP’s too. I’ve never seen promotional copies have the same number, but I could of course be incorrect. 👍🎶😊
I don't trust the numbering system as it may be a ploy to get consumers to believe they are getting limited copies. Who knows if it's really 10,000 sets, maybe 20,000 since you and Melinda both received same number 1.
nice one but i was wondering i you could do a review on cracker island 12 inch box set see if you can get it early
Can't wait till mine arrives, did you notice that the UK version of Out of our heads and th US version of December's Child has similar pictures on the back cover?

Damn you scratched all the records by pulling them out that way ahaha
I have an OG 1967 Mono pressing of Her Majesty’s Satanic Service that I lucked into for $1.00 at a friend’s guitar store (which was a casualty of COVID-19) about a decade ago now, but the cover was literally falling apart and the vinyl itself needed serious cleaning. I got it cleaned up enough to get a full pass to my laptop.
UMMM.... other KZread video posters are showing they received # 1, plus the weight is coming in lower, maybe you received a sub quality edition noting the pealing back cover label on the box in the edition, also you can pick it up on the ABCO website for 374$ , savings don't overpay on Amazon
It's kind of insane that you got number one

If you have noticed any other reviews of this boxed set, there appears to be two different versions of the Their Satanic Majesties Request LP. One is cropped, one is not. The cropped versions leave out both Paul and Ringo. You have what I would call a good version, Others may not have. Why is this? I will be curious which version I get once it arrives.
Speaking of boxsets, do you have the queen studio album boxset?
Did they reinstate censored text on No.2 the blind man reference? I have my uncles old copy although I think it saw a few parties!
Weren't you the bass player in the Cherry Popping Nut Zippers back in the day?

Are these the same mastering and cut as the 2016 set?
Could you perhaps review the recent The Kinks: The Journey Part 1 vinyl?
The Beatles are my favourite band, but honestly, when it comes to singles, I might prefer the Stones overall. Also, I think the Brian Jones era of the Stones had a way cooler look than The Beatles. If I wasn't a broke college student, I would totally get this box-set. Looks like great value for the money you're spending.
Just play the stereo editions and then press the “mono” button on your amplifier/receiver. That’s all you’ll ever need to do with all rock LPs.

I’d say just listen to the UK albums, “The Rolling Stones,” “The Rolling Stones No. 2,” “Out Of Our Heads” (the one without the black and white cover), “Aftermath” (the one with the purple cover), “Between The Buttons,” and then the albums sync up. I know a lot of people prefer the US albums, but I think that by listening to the UK albums (which are what the band officially released), you can hear the Stones mature as musicians.

Maybe not better, but different. Some of the mono tracks have more "punch" to them. Some group's songs even have exclusive mono overdubs not on the stereo mixes. But, I don't think that happens much with The Rolling Stones' '60's catalogue. Also, most singles until late 1968 were only available in mono. So, you would need this set to get some of the original mono mixes of the hit singles. There is a difference.
