A real gem for collectors

This is the third and final installment of box sets covering the Stones singles released between 1963 - 1971. All three box sets are a treasure for stones collectors because we get the original artwork for all the singles (and early EP's) that the Stones released in the sixties. The cd's actually look like old 45's. This box set covering the years 1968 - 1971 has a cool bonus dvd with several live performances and the classic old Jumpin' Jack Flash video. However, this series of box sets is not for casual fans. The vast majority of songs can be found on the old London Years box set which Abkco remastered in their 2002 Rolling Stones remastered series. One omission on the singles 1968 - 1971 box set is the live version of Let It Rock recorded at Leeds University in 1971 and originally released in the UK as the B side to Brown Sugar is not included. Apparently this is because Virgin owns the rights to that song. Bottom line is that all three singles box sets are awesome if you want to have cd replicants of all the original 45's and the early EP's with their original artwork.
