      Love the Rolling Stones? Feelin' rich like Jagger?

      Well, Universal Music Canada has just announced that on June 15 it will be releasing The Studio Albums Vinyl Collection 1971-2016, which includes a few of my fave Stones discs, like Sticky Fingers, Some Girls, Steel Wheels, and Blue & Lonesome.

      Here's some promotional bumph:

      Having defined rock’n’roll in the 60s, The Rolling Stones entered their imperial phase in 1971, with Sticky Fingers. What followed is a run of albums that couldn’t have happened at any other time, by any other band: the decadent excess of Exile On Main St, the Jamaican voodoo swamp of Goats Head Soup, the disco- and punk-infused prowl of Some Girls. With each new decade, the Stones evolved while staying true to their roots, coming full circle in 2016 with Blue & Lonesome, a love letter to their first inspiration: the blues.

      The Studio Albums Vinyl Collection 1971 – 2016 presents this monumental era in Rock N’ Roll history in a highly bespoke, lenticular mounted, limited edition box-set housing the 15 x Studio Albums from Sticky Fingers through Blue & Lonesome in faithful & intricate original packaging replications. Every album has been lovingly remastered & cut at revelatory Half-Speed at Abbey Road Studios from vinyl specific original tape transfers designed to get the very best possible sound from the format. Each album is pressed on heavyweight 180-gram black vinyl, includes a download card for HD digital redemption of the catalogue & includes a numbered certificate of authentication.

      If you have no idea what "highly bespoke, lenticular mounted" means, join the club.

      You can pre-order the package here for the meager price of $659.99 (Canadian).
