ROLLING STONES The London Years (Incredible 1989 German collection of ALL TWENTY 7" vinyl singles reproducing all of the original German releases & sleeves on London from 1963 to 1969 - From 'Come On' through to 'Street Fighting Man'. Originally
released on July 10, 1989. Each 7" is in its own textured picture sleeve. You could spend many, many years trying to collect all these. Here we present to you 20, unplayed records in the original sleeves with the complete retail counter display that
housed them 45 years ago. The box display is absolutely beautiful and in EX condition. The record outer sleeves range from EX to VG+ only due to a few sleeves having minor edge wear at the top but otherwise excellent. Vinyl on all 20 records is mint
and unplayed. Very rare and collectible find!
The Singles (In 1989 catalogue number order, not original order of release) are all classic
wide centred injection moulded vinyl (OK, styrene to be strictly correct) German press
singles (you know - round, black, shiny ... that sort of thing) and are all with their
textured picture sleeves as released in 1989. The 'wear' or 'aging' that can be seen on some of the sleeves is actually printed on to give them a vintage feel as befits the concept of a complete re-issue of the original formats and each & every one remains unplayed!
01. Mother's Little Helper / Lady Jane [882128-7] - as released in 1966 (using the 'Got Live' EP basic picture)
02. Come On / I Want To Be Loved [882130-7] - A record company mistake as this pairing was issued in the UK only. The sleeve is unique in that it is a new title sleeve based on the blue Decca swirl design where the original was an orange stripey
sleeve.
03. I Wanna Be Your Man / Money [882132-7] - as issued in 1963
04. It's All Over Now / Tell Me [882134-7] - as issued in 1964 except for the 3:44 Version of Tell Me replacing the original 4:06 Version.
05. Satisfaction / The Under Assistant [882136-7] - as issued in 1965 except using a remixed version of Satisfaction
06. The Last Time / Play With Fire [882138-7] - as issued in 1965 except sleeve is a colour version instead of the original black & white shot
07. Get Off My Cloud / The Singer Not the Song [882140-7] - Another anomaly as this features much the same sleeve design as Satisfaction (using the 'Got Live' EP basic picture). This, once again, is the UK coupling where the original German release had I'm Free as the B-side
08. 19th Nervous Breakdown / As Tears Go By [882142-7] - as issued in 1965
09. Paint It, Black / Long Long While [882144-7] - as issued in 1966
