The new Rolling Stones box set out on September 30th has nine more surprises thrown in.
The Rolling Stones in Mono will contain 14 of their albums and a new compilation, Stray Cats, which contains essential non-album B-sides and rarities. Now comes word that there will also be a set of nine extremely limited seven-inch vinyl singles included.
Each single is an exact reproduction of a significant hit record from a different country with original art matching how the single looked in that specific nation at the time of release. After the bundles are sold out, the remaining individual seven-inch discs will only be available in local record stores in their respective countries.
The seven-inch singles are:
Poison Ivy/Fortune Teller (UK -1963)
Fortune Teller/Sad Day (Australia – 1966)
Tell Me (You’re Coming Back)/Carol (Japan – 1964)
Time Is On My Side/Congratulations (Norway – 1964)
