T.O.T.A. '75 is created in a limited edition of 2,500 signed copies. In 2015, just 400 of these rare books were specially made into Anniversary Copies that celebrate Ronnie Wood's first tour with the band. As well as being signed by tour manager Peter Rudge and diarist Christopher Simon Sykes, these copies were additionally signed by Ronnie Wood.
The Anniversary Copies feature a specially designed cover created to Ronnie Wood's approval, inspired by his metal 'disc front' Zemaitis guitar. The instrument remains one of Wood's go-to guitars for playing slide and, as well as being played throughout the '75 tour, has appeared on many Stones recordings. The book's aluminum cover is silkscreened with the same engravings that are etched onto the front of Wood's famous instrument.
Over 400 silver-edged pages are quarter-bound in leather and housed in a protective solander box. The tour's 'Access Backstage' silk armband serves as a pull ribbon for the large-format book. Recessed panels within the box contain facsimile memorabilia: backstage passes and even hotel room keys. The 'Starship' is silkscreened onto the outer box, with lenticular images of the Stones appearing in the aircraft's cut-away windows.
