Setting the stage:

This stunning and difficult to find box set is listed about $200 cheaper than you can find it anywhere else. This discount reflects any type of wear & tear and/or blemishes you might interpret this box set to have. I purchased this new and have not played any of the records once. I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…

The Rolling Stones :

The Rolling Stones are rock and roll royalty. They are a band whose swaggering energy, bluesy grit, and rebellious attitude helped shape the very identity of modern music. From Mick Jagger’s magnetic vocals to Keith Richards’ raw guitar riffs, they’ve created a catalog of timeless hits and electrified generations. More than just a band, they are a cultural phenomenon that redefined style, sound, and stage presence across six decades. One can argue that the Rolling Stones are the greatest band ever. The Rolling Stones aren’t just a rock band, they are the blueprint. For over 60 years, they’ve defined rebellion, swagger, and raw musical energy, blending blues, rock, soul, and even country into a sound that’s unmistakably theirs. With Mick Jagger’s electrifying vocals and Keith Richards’ iconic riffs, The Rolling Stones didn’t just ride the wave of rock and roll, they built it. Their influence can be heard in nearly every great band that followed, from punk to indie to modern rock. Their countless hits range from “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” to “Gimme Shelter” to “Sympathy for the Devil,” their catalog is a masterclass in timeless songwriting and unapologetic attitude. Ultimately what makes The Rolling Stones legendary isn’t just their hits, it’s their staying power, their showmanship, and their refusal to fade. They turned concerts into stadium shaking spectacles globally, and their albums still crackle with danger and brilliance. If rock and roll had a Mount Rushmore, The Rolling Stones would be carved front and center.

This Rolling Stones box set is a vinyl collector’s dream. It is a meticulously curated journey through the evolution of the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band.
