The Rolling Stones To Release Vinyl Box Sets

The Rolling Stones studio albums from 1964-2005 will be released as two vinyl album box sets in November.

‘1964-1969’ will start with their first EP from January 10, 1964 and go through to ‘Let It Bleed’ (1969) but also include the various best of’s from that era.

‘1971-2005’ starts with ‘Sticky Fingers’ and will go right up to The Stone’s last studio album ‘A Bigger Bang’ from 2005.

Because of the amount of music on the made for CD albums, ‘Voodoo Lounge’ (1994), ‘Bridges to Babylon’ (1997) and ‘A Bigger Bang’ (2005) will be double albums.

All of the albums have been remastered. They will be produced on 180-gram virgin heavyweight vinyl.

Jody Klein, ABKCO Music and Records CEO, remarked, “With the current marketplace resurgence of vinyl, these collections are certain to delight both long-standing Stones fans as well as contemporary vinyl devotees. The quality of the pressings and the care with which these historic releases have been remastered is breathtaking.”

"We are honored to continue our campaign to preserve the Stones legacy with the highest quality sets for fans to enjoy," added Bruce Resnikoff, President/CEO, Universal Music Enterprises (UMe).

Andrew Kronfeld, Universal Music Group International’s Executive VP, International Marketing, said, “Vinyl was the Rolling Stones’ accomplice from day one, so this is the way to hear the world’s greatest rock ’n’ roll band.  There’s nothing else to say… just listen.”
