Description
Decca 6.30125 FA. The Rolling Stones Story - Part 2. The Rest of the Best. Original German issue. I bought this box brand new in 1983. German Decca took it upon themselves to issue this box set with a one-sided bonus 45 of "Cocksucker Blues" without checking with anyone to see if that was OK. It turns out it wasn't OK. They continued to make the box available but after that first run it no longer contained the bonus 45. The yellow and red sticker you see on the sleeve was originally on the shrink wrap on the box. I cut it out and glued it to the white sleeve that came with the 45. The "Bisher nie Veroffentlicht" statement on the sticker translates to "Never Published Before". This is an authentic issue and is not a boot. The matrix number is mechanically stamped in the dead wax (see 4th photo) and is C-66. 11. 656-01-1. The opposite side is blank. The box and all of the records are in near mint condition.

GRADING
Near Mint or Mint Minus - A top copy with the most minimal of wear.
VG++ - Not quite near mint, but a super clean, desirable copy.
VG+ - Shows signs of wear but no significant defects.
VG - Obvious signs of wear but it still has life in it. VG does not mean beat.
VG minus - Moderate to heavy wear. OK if you need a filler copy.
G - Borders on unplayable - don't be be bothered unless it's very rare.
