Notes

"Forty-five of the rarest recordings of The Rolling Stones, the greatest Rock 'n Roll band in the world, compiled for your listening pleasure by Rolling Stones Vinyl Productions, an association of hard-core collectors of Rolling Stones' rarities." 

This version has the tracklist insert with all the autographs of the Stones members, a certificate plus 6 extra inserts with Stones pictures and newspaper articles. 
Disc 1 + 2 have plain black labels, disc 3 has the Dragonfly "Sound Of The 60's" label on both sides. 
Numbered edition, stamped on tracklist sheet. 

LP 1 was also available as "Beautiful Delilah" 
LP 2 was also available as "Gravestones" 
LP 3 was also available as "Rape Of The Vaults" 
LP 2 + 3 was also available as 2LP "Gravestones / Rape Of The Vaults" 

Unreleased tracks, live recordings, outtakes and TV/radioshow performances.

The "Black Box" title dates back to the working title and concept of "Metamorphosis" and Bill Wyman's original picks for the record which were:

Bright Lights Big City/Cops and Robbers/I'd Much Rather Be With The Boys/Little Red Rooster (Live)/Down The Road Apiece (Live)/Don't Lie To Me/If You Let Me/Godzi/Panama Powder Room/Gold Painted Nails/Fannie Mae/Down In The Bottom

This information is from the book: "The Rolling Stones an illustrated record by Roy Carr", 1976 (two of the titles have been corrected). Down The Road Apiece is listed as a live track, but it's most likely from the BBC "Top of The Pops" broadcast on March 4, 1965. Godzi & Panama Powder Room are not confirmed to exist, but may be from the 1966 time frame and could be instrumentals from various "Between The Buttons" sessions. Gold Painted Nails is an instrumental from the Satanic Majesties sessions.

The Black Box title was picked-up by some enterprising types who used it on 70's vinyl releases that consisted of three LP's in none other than a black box. The label was Rolling Stones Vinyl Product (RSVP), and the contents included reissues of "Gravestones", "Rape of The Vaults", and "Beautiful Delilah" (also reissued on the Dragonfly record label). The first two titles were originally rubber stamped RSVP releases and third was a copy of an early Trade Mark of Quality release. Arguably a stronger release than the Abkco issue. No Oldham orchestra tracks on these discs!
