Limited Edition Clear Vinyl + Album Art Lithograph Collections from The Rolling Stones

First Release By Spotlight Gallery, A New
Business From The Parent Company Of Time Life

Time Life has announced the release of three Limited Edition Clear Vinyl + Album Art Lithographs from the iconic and acclaimed Rolling Stones albums- ABKCO Records' 12 X 5, Let It Bleed and 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!'

Only 2,500 of these hand-numbered and embossed museum-quality lithographs signed in the plate by Rolling Stones members are available through a special license granted by ABKCO Music & Records, Inc.

These highly valuable collectible LP and lithograph sets, each with a Certificate of Authenticity, are available now at www.spotlightgallery.com on a first-come, first-served basis. The lithographs are printed on acid-free, 100# Opus dull cover stock measuring 20" x 24" with an image area of 16" x 16."

It should be noted that no additional copies will be produced after the initial press run is exhausted and the signature plates will be destroyed. The printing plates contain the facsimile signatures of the band's personnel at the time each album was recorded: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Brian Jones and Bill Wyman on the 12 X 5 and Let It Bleed lithographs, and Jagger, Richards, Watts and Wyman on 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!'

12 X 5, the Rolling Stones' second full-length U.S. release, in October 1964, combines tracks from the band's earlier U.K. EP Five by Five (recorded at Chess Studios in Chicago) with additional material, including the smash hit singles "It's All Over Now" and "Time Is on My Side." 12 X 5 is dominated by the Stones' takes on R&B and the blues, which would shape and inform the hard blues/R&B wing of the British Invasion in ensuing years. This "Clearly Classic" vinyl edition is sourced from the album's original mono mix. The album's cover, thought to be a visual riposte to Meet the Beatles, was shot by David Bailey. One of the most celebrated fashion/celebrity photographers of all time, Bailey was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his "services to art" and was awarded the Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship "in recognition of a sustained, significant contribution to the art of photography."

The thoroughly cohesive and highly regarded Let It Bleed is considered by many to be the Rolling Stones' best album. Tracks include "Midnight Rambler," "You Got the Silver" featuring Keith Richards' first lead vocal, the apocalyptic-themed "Gimme Shelter," the band's faithful take on Robert Johnson's country blues "Love in Vain," and the epochal "You Can't Always Get What You Want." The Let It Bleed album cover art is by Robert Brownjohn, the American-born graphic designer known for creating the title sequences of such films as Goldfinger and From Russia with Love. The Let It Bleed cover features a Dadaist LP-shaped cake created by cookbook author Delia Smith, the design inspired by the album's original title, "Automatic Changer." Let It Bleed's innovative imagery has resonated over the years since its release in late 1969. The cover art was a recent addition to the design collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art and was the subject of a commemorative postage stamp issued by Great Britain's Royal Mail in 2010.

'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!' The Rolling Stones in Concert holds the distinction of being the first live album by any artist to reach No. 1 on the U.K. charts. Recorded at New York City's Madison Square Garden on November 27 and 28, 1969, the featured concert was part of the U.S. tour during which the group was introduced for the first time as "the greatest rock and roll band," as heard at the start of the album. Ya-Ya's is considered the Stones' finest live album and includes concert versions of the hits "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Street Fighting Man" and "Sympathy for the Devil," but is most notable for a nine-plus-minute version of "Midnight Rambler" with extended harmonica solos by Mick Jagger, widely considered the greatest recorded version of the song. Shortly after the album's release, rock critic Lester Bangs noted in his Rolling Stone review, "It's still too soon to tell, but I'm beginning to think Ya-Ya's just might be the best album they ever made. I have no doubt that it's the best rock concert ever put on record." The album's cover was shot by David Bailey in February 1970 and the original design is by John Kosh (art director for over 100 album covers, including The Beatles' Abbey Road, The Who's Who's Next, the Eagles' Hotel California, and Rod Stewart's A Night on the Town) and features an atypically exultant Charlie Watts holding two guitars alongside Jack, a donkey burdened with some of his drum kit and a guitar. It has been suggested that Bob Dylan's song "Visions of Johanna," which includes the line "jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule," was the inspiration for the Ya Ya's cover concept.

I'm gonna order Ya Ya's and I already have my Japanese Blu-Ray + CD of "The Marquee Club Live in 1971" (GREAT SOUND)

BTW a litho of Let it Bleed signed by Brian Jones!!

He passed on July 2, 1969 and Let it Bleed was released in December 1969... well at least he played on Midnight Rambler and You Got the Silver

Colored/clear vinyl never sounds good. Black is where it's at.

Thank you for the advice!  Yes, I got two turntables Technics with Ortofon and Shure cartridges, on two different systems, Sony and Technics.
I think the sound is not the best if you compares with Voodoo Lounge LP, for example.

Well many years ago, when I first began collecting, way, way before CD, I scored the British version of 'Between The Buttons' on a Dutch pressing on yellow vinyl. Pure coincidence.  It played brilliantly. As good as any other record. Records pressed here in Australia were absolute rubbish. My cousin came back from a Virgin Islands, Miami holiday in 1976 armed to the teeth with US Lps. Bloody hell! Compared with the crap we got, they were gold.
Here they used very, very thin vinyl, the pressing plant in Sydney had not been up dated since Robert Johnson was king of the blues. Kiss Alive! didn't even come with the gatefold book; that was pretty much par for the course. Even the first CDs pressed here were fucking rubbish. To this day I always go for the imports.
German, Dutch, and UK and US are always the business. Anyway, I have digressed. You are right, black is best, but sometimes coloured vinyl is just as good.

Ah! Not quite. Maradonna, Batistuta, alaways reach the last stages of the world cup, and proud, proud people who will fight anyone,(the Falklands, Las Malvinas), Great Britain? So what? What have we got? A fucking rock, murderous dingoes, pig's arse a dingoe, and beer swilling, pig ignorant, parochial wankers who think they were the the greatest heroes during two world wars. I win.

Acetate is another kind of material, older (in many cases) and harder to find than vinyl. Is more a collector thing.

An acetate is the first pressing of a vinyl record, that is why they are so rare. The material they are made from is like very old vinyl, the type used in the days of early live studio recordings, ie- Robert Johnson recording with that blues enthusiast John Hammond. So, it's like straight from old reel to reel to a type of shellac covered plastic. My advice; buy it! It's a collectors item, and well worth the money. And 5quid for old vinyl stuff? Well, if it's in good condition; buy 'em. I've been doing the same thing recently. By the way, didn't you used to live in New Jersey?
