Label: Mona Records
"At last here is a high quality recording of the riotous 1965 European tour. The incredible charisma of the Rolling Stones, the excitement of the Paris audience is completely apparent on this recording of the first appearance of the Stones in France. All previously issued recordings of this concert wither in comparison.Also included are four songs from the 1964 Scandinavian tour and two songs from 1965 "BBC Saturday Club". Both recordings have not been issued on LP before."
"Rolling Stones collector's in their continuing search for further recordings of their favorite group have unfortunately of late encountered the deceptive "repackage" concept, i.e., repeatedly re-issuing the same record in different jackets. A despicable practise.
The philosophy at MONA RECORDS is to locate never released or "better sound quality than available before" material. Nothing less. No repackages. No ripoffs."

There are three different color variations that exist for this title insert, black ink on orange, gold, or white paper. Very few copies were printed on white paper.
No other variations exist.
Later issues or re-releases use different color inks (purple/marroon) on different color papers (green, white) and usually have Raring Records labels instead of Mona labels.
