THE ROLLING STONES - THE GENUINE BLACK BOX 1961 - 1974
(Scorpio)
LINEAGE:
Original Scorpio CDs -> WAV (EAC v. 0.95 beta 4 - secure, Offset "actual") -> FLAC (flacfrontend, level 6) -> You
DATE:
Various studio outtakes and radio performances from 1961 to 1974.
QUALITY:
For the most; Excellent Stereo soundboard. Of course there's a couple of excepetions.
PERFORMANCE:
Performance? What a silly question!
The best R&R band on the peak of their game.....? Good grief - of course there's no "performance" rating. This is what R&R was made of....after Elvis and Chuck Berry.
COMMENTS:
This is a MUST-HAVE! It features some nuggests, never available before, like "Johnny B. Goode" from 1962 - and also some other gems, which you can discover for yourself. Anyway....this compilation is real awesome for even the "common fan" as it features the BEST outtakes of the Rolling Stones of their first 13 years.
I'm not saying that ALL songs comes from best possible sources, but most of them do.
COMMENTS #2:
I'm sharing this expensive box-set. Hope there's someone who will appreciate it.
Please don't put it up elsewhere, unless you keep ALL the files intact.
COMMENTS #3:
I haven't cross-checked all the "dates" listed in the tracklisting below (and also the booklet(s). Most of them appear to be correct though. A couple of exceptions of course.....for instance "Loving Cup" on the last disc is the "Montreux promo video version", not a real "outtake". Of course only the vocals are different, compared to the studio version.
COMMENTS #4:
The last track on disc 5; that exact version of "Silver Train" is one of the greatest RS outtakes I
know.
