ABOUT COLLECTIBLE EDITIONS
As photography blossomed at the end of the 19th century, the traditional handmade quality of painting on canvas enjoyed a new level of respect. Photography, which was seen as a mechanical process, removed from the artist's hand, didn't measure up in the eyes of some as an embodiment of handmade artistic creation the way that painting did.
In the current time of hyper-mass replication and do-it-yourself, computer-driven expression, it is now photography that is enjoying a new level of respect. Quality collectable prints, like the one included in the deluxe edition of Let It Bleed, are still made with human hands in a dark room, in the traditional execution of a 150 year-old art form. High quality collectable books, stitched and bound by hand using only the highest quality materials are valued not only for heir beauty, but also highly sought after for their rarity. Once these editions sell out, they trade for a premium, if you can find them.
In the world of high-end collector volumes, Rhino distinguishes itself in this debut release with the same passion and dedication that has made it the leading caretaker of musical legacies for three decades. Crafted to the highest standards using superior materials, this signed limited edition is not just defined by its exceptional content, but the quality of paper, binding, inks and printing. It is only natural that Rhino's legendary care for the musical history would translate into such a well-crafted and luxurious volume as Rhino extends its music expertise to visual culture.
