Description
If this description looks familiar, we listed this item before Christmas, but the deal fell through, so if you were not the winning bidder before, you have another chance. We know it had lots of watchers so we're dropping the price.
This is one of the versions of the famous collectors' boxed set from the Rolling Stones tour, released a couple of years ago in various editions. Here is the information from their website. Please see below for details about this particular set.
Album: 180-gram Triple-Vinyl Set of the Brussels concert.
Watch: ’70s-era “Tongue & Lips” Watch—Japan Seiko movement and stainless steel face with brass dial.
Tour Lithograph: 1973 tour lithograph.
History: In 1973, the government of France banned the Rolling Stones from entering French territory because of various run-ins with the law—most of them occurring during summer of 1971, while the band members were in the South of France, recording one of their masterpieces, Exile on Main St. This was a blow to the Stones’ hordes of French fans, who would be shut out from experiencing the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World on their 1973 European Tour in support of the newly released Goats Head Soup. That October, the band organized a concert across the Belgian border in Brussels, and a local radio station chartered a bus to transport French fans to the now-historic gig.
All the sights and sounds from this historic show and tour have now been amassed for the first time in The Brussels Affair, the inaugural release from the Stones Archive. The package features an 180-gram triple-vinyl album and rare photographs from the Brussels show by Claude Gassian, as well a book documenting the entire 1973 European tour, with exclusive photographs from Michael Putland and a newly written text by acclaimed NME scribe Nick Kent.
This edition is not the autographed one. It comes with a pull ribbon around the box, not a cover bag. I don't think there are CDs, but I think some versions had them in the sleeve with the LPs, which is still sealed. You are bidding on
- 3 LP set, still in cellophane

(PLEASE NOTE: When this item listed, it had automatically put in an "actual cost" shipping value that was nowhere near the actual cost because of the size and weight of the box. The shipping may actually be around $40 depending on your delivery preference. So sorry.)
