Spanning the era between 1963 and 1969, The
Rolling Stones in Mono covers the formative years of The Greatest Rock
Roll Band in the World. During this era, most rock and pop
recordings were originally recorded in mono, with stereo often an
afterthought, dealt with only following the completion of the original
mono version of a given track. In short, mono reigned and this was,
indeed, the case for the Rolling Stones during the period. While typical
playback systems of the time were less than sophisticated, the original
mono recordings, especially as heard through quality components, were
of the highest audio quality and had a powerful and very direct impact.
You felt you were in the room . . . listening to exactly what went down
in the studio, no frills, no nothing, Keith Richards wrote in his
autobiography, Life. Rock was a completely new musical form, Mick
Jagger explained in a Rolling Stone interview. It hadn t been
around for ten years when we started doing it . . . You felt like one of
the chosen few, one of the only ones in the world who would get to play
with this new toy. We had evangelical fervor. Late recording engineer
Dave Hassinger explained how he mixed his 64- 66 work for the Stones
in mono, They always played together at the same time, Hassinger said.
They would run the parts down, work out the changes here and there,
nail it down, then start recording.
Rolling Stone senior editor
David Fricke, in his 5,000-word essay that accompanies the set, writes,
The Rolling Stones in Mono is the full studio account of that first
decade of history and mayhem, newly remastered with unprecedented
fidelity and revelatory detail. His commentaries are included with the
vinyl box sets as part of a 4-color deluxe 48 page lie flat book that
features numerous rare photos by renowned photographer Terry O Neill.
The 16 LPs are housed in the original full color album jackets that fit
along with the book into a one piece specially crafted box.
