The Rolling Stones in Mono is a box set by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released by ABKCO Records in September 2016. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] It contains most of the group's British and American studio albums from the 1960s in mono format, on fifteen compact discs or sixteen vinyl records. All tracks were remastered using the Direct Stream Digital process by Bob Ludwig. [10] The original recordings were produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, Jimmy Miller and the Rolling Stones.

Content

The Rolling Stones in Mono omits the American versions of the band's debut album and of Between the Buttons; the former as there is only a difference of one track between the two, and the latter as it replaces two tracks with the 1967 single " Let's Spend the Night Together" backed with " Ruby Tuesday", both of which also appear on the compilation Flowers included here. Their Satanic Majesties Request, Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed were issued with identical track listings in each nation. The last two are not dedicated mono mixes, as none were made, but are the stereo mixes folded-down into mono. [11] Albums included in this box set are listed below. [12] [13] The box also includes all tracks released on the band's two studio EPs, The Rolling Stones and Five by Five.

A compilation unique to this set, Stray Cats, comprises 24 tracks issued by the Stones in the 1960s that did not appear on the albums listed. Most were issued on singles. Two appeared on a 1964 Decca Records compilation of items from roster artists, Saturday Club; three tracks were on the band's first EP; although issued on the US live album Got Live If You Want It!, their version of " I've Been Loving You Too Long" is a studio recording with audience sounds added later. There is also the Italian language version of " As Tears Go By" issued in Italy and the dedicated mono mix of " Street Fighting Man" released as a single in the United States. Stray Cats also contains both covers of " Poison Ivy": one appearing on a Decca promotional album; the second on the band's first EP.
