These are super rare promo singles for Exile release. Only very very few were pressed and glued with the machine typed paper and a stamp on the blank yellow label. So with the ones at ebay, somebody removed label sticker and attached on the sleeve ... Anyway the sticker is still there. These two singles changed hands in the past between 350 and 450 Euro per 7inch ...

Here my two copies

Well I'm certainly blown away...thanks Andreas!

Harlem Shuffle Malaysia promo copy, rare!

Isn't it a Sisyphean labour to collect Rolling Stones records since the supply looks unfathomable? I mean it never ends - you will never have the complete collection. Sorry to ask. I don't want to spoil the fun...

I don't want the complete collection.

Good enough answer, Steffistones. Sorry for interfering a bit. Now, get on with your thread!

No prob stoneage, i just like to collect records from other countrys, and if you can get it for a very cheap price, why not...

I think that is one of the most interesting things about this, in that NO ONE could possibly have a complete collection. It isn't even about the money either....you could be unfathomably wealthy, but who is going to spend the time and effort scouring the world finding everything.

That is why it is very interesting what others have found through their years of collections. Andreas, Stefaan and Boston have great collections...thanks for sharing!

And another thing, we do not even know what is existing! Every now and then there pops up something new that we did not know about....
In 1998 when Luca did his second edition of his fantastic book, he had about 7.500 Stones item worldwide. I guess he is well over 10.000 documented vinyls and CD's today

I tried years ago to collect whatever came in my way, but the result was that I had quantity, not quality. 10 years after I stopped to collect everything I start to think that I also have quality today Only collecting UK vinyls and a few other bits and pieces today

Good points...and while I'm not anywhere near collecting all the quality items, that is what I've tried to focus on as well, UK/US rarities with some occasional exceptions. The mind boggles as to everything that is out there though.

You guys are quite right on these subjects . Everytime you look there is something new . If it isn't vinyl from "another land " . It's the new stuff that they are putting out. I was able to get a " wig box set " for $ 75.00 which was a steal as they are "all sold out " and very limited in quantity .

Keep the photos coming !!

Japanese Issue Box Set .

Not really sure of how rare it is . Don't see them for sale very often .



Hony Tonk Women is mispelled .




Sleeves are black & white . UK issues are in color .



The booklet that accompanies the box set



You Know I'm Smiling Baby

... and here the UK version of that box. Both UK and Japan issue not seen that often and very collectible.

Beast of Burden....2011:







This is obviously the single from the extremely limited superdeluxe boxset...the boxset I opened was number 31885

Anyhow, just wondering how this compares to the original, if anyone has a copy of it. The paper on the sleeve is fairly stiff, almost cardboard in quality. I suspect the original is more like Miss You, flimsy and thin.

... here there original :-)



PS. some fakes are circulating, but they can be identified by thicker paper and different texture) - but only by holding it in hands and have a visible check (which won't work with eBay)

Wow! still missing in my collection!

Thanks Andreas, looks like it's in great condition as well. I'm surprised you have the vinyl still sitting inside the PS!

From your photo, looks like the texture is similar to the Miss You paper.

How long ago did you get this and if you don't mind my asking, from where?
