For the very first time in the history of The Rolling Stones, ABKCO Records and Universal Music Group have joined forces to offer two vinyl box set collections spanning over 40 years of The Rolling Stones’ career. This Rolling Stones 1964-1969 vinyl box set offers the consumer a wealth of great Rolling Stones music, much of which hasn’t been available on vinyl for a considerable period of time. 

The box set encompasses the Stones' early U.K. releases, including nine re-mastered studio albums, two remastered EPs, plus two "Big Hits" collections. It's the first vinyl reissue in decades for The Rolling Stones (EP), The Rolling Stones,Five by Five (EP), The Rolling Stones No. 2, Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) and Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2). 

The first five titles in the set are presented in their original mono format affording; for the first time in years an opportunity for Stones fans to enjoy re-mastered versions of the tracks "I Can’t Be Satisfied", "Time Is On My Side (Version 2)" and "Down the Road Apiece" as originally released. Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) is included with its original octagonal cover and artwork intact. Metamorphosis is also included in the set; the album was first released in 1975 but is wholly comprised of tracks recorded from the early-to-late sixties. The inclusion of the band’s original two "Big Hits" collections was mandated by the fact that U.K. album releases in that era most often did not include contemporaneously released hit singles.

The world really was The Rolling Stones’ oyster in the seventies, as their escapades made headlines around the world from the French Riviera to Switzerland and via the U.S. and Canada. They performed groundbreaking concerts in arenas and moved effortlessly into open-air stadiums. They stuck their collective tongue out at the British establishment and became citizens of the world. They set up their own label and made the most of their new-found artistic freedom and, most importantly, they issued a series of definitive studio albums: S ticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, Goats Head Soup, It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll, Black And Blue and Some Girls. They partied at Studio 54, came up with dance-floor hits "Miss You" and "Emotional Rescue", and recorded in Paris, Nassau, Jamaica and New York. 

The eighties saw the band push the envelope further still, working with jazz great Sonny Rollins, film directors Julien Temple and Michael Lindsay-Hogg, and producers Chris Kimsey and Steve Lillywhite on classics such as Emotional Rescue,Tattoo You, Undercover, Dirty Work and Steel Wheels. Throughout the next two decades they filmed with Scorsese, recorded with Don Was and released further groundbreaking albums-- Voodoo Lounge and Bridges To Babylon, right up to 2005’s triumphant A Bigger Bang.
