The Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones Story (Vinyl 12LP Box Set, LP 5 Missing | DE Original | 1980)

The Rolling Stones – The Rolling Stones Story is a German Decca LP box from 1980 tracing the band's Decca years from 1963 to 1970 – with studio albums, two live albums, the Germany-only compilation "Around And Around" and "Metamorphosis". Important: the 5th LP ("After-Math") is missing from this copy. We bought the box in this state, already without LP 5. On offer is the German original edition (6.30118 HZ) with 11 LPs, portraits and booklet.

FAQ

Is the box complete?
No. The box originally held 12 LPs; in this copy the 5th LP "After-Math" is missing – we bought the box this way. The other 11 LPs, the 5 portraits and the booklet are present.

Is this the original edition?
Yes – the German original edition from 1980 on Decca, cat. no. 6.30118 HZ. The LPs do not come in the original sleeves of the individual albums; the booklet lists all LPs and tracks and includes a German-language chronology, "8 Jahre Rolling Stones 1963–1970".

What does Media NM- to VG+ / Box VG+ mean?
Depending on the disc, the LPs range from near mint (NM-) to lightly used (VG+); the box shows light signs of use. Full details on our Vinyl Grading page.
