NewsThe Rolling Stones / GRRR! Blu-ray audio-only release
Whilst the expensive Super Deluxe Edition box set version of The Rolling Stones’ GRRR! hits compilation was horrible, the band have recently put out a Blu-ray audio edition which dispenses with the giant boxes and useless books, and concentrates on the important stuff, like the music.
The blu-ray offers the 50-track version of the compilation as used on the three-CD editions.
There is no video at all – this is an audio-only release – but the music is offered in three different audio formats:
- 2.0 PCM 24-bit/96Khz
- 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio 24-bit/96KHz
- 2.0 Dolby True HD 24-bit/96KHz
All of those represent lossless hi-res audio and although the “2.0” indicates just stereo and no surround sound, the blu-ray can be bought for less than the price of the three-CD version on amazon.co.uk at the time of writing (£11.20) – that’s only about a pound more than the 2CD version!
If sound quality is your main priority, rather than gimmicks and packaging, and you have the appropriate set-up at home, this could be well worth picking up.

I won’t buy Blu-ray audio only discs unless they are in 5.1. There is such a potential for re-releasing all of the known surround mixes of 70s & 80’s classics that I can’t understand why record companies like Sony & Universal are hesitating.
Selling in Mexico now!!
Got mine today, great release and sound
why wouldn’t they release this in the USA.
Also, strange they didnt package this with one of the other box sets.
