Ladies & Gentlemen...

November 26 and 27 mark the 40th anniversary of the recording of the Rolling Stones concerts at Madison Square Garden that yielded the epochal Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out!, the band’s definitive live album. In recognition of that historic occasion when “The World’s Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band” played “The World’s Greatest Stage,” ABKCO Records will release Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! The Rolling Stones In Concert – 40thAnniversary Deluxe Box Set and a Super Deluxe Box Set on November 30th internationally (November 3rd in the US). The late Lester Bangs reviewing the original album in the November 12, 1970 issue of Rolling Stone wrote, “It’s still too soon to tell, but I’m beginning to think Ya-Ya’s just might be the best album they ever made. I have no doubt that it’s the best rock concert ever put on record.”

We are pleased to announce the reissue of five Rolling Stones live albums on November 9th (US) 10th (International). Recorded between 1975 and 2002, Love You Live, Still Life, Flashpoint, the much-loved Stripped and Live Licks, showcase the world’s greatest rock’n’roll band in its natural habitat, on stage. Taped in front of rapturous audiences in stadiums and arenas, and also documenting the more informal theatre and club shows beloved of their diehard fans, these albums feature high-octane renditions of the group’s biggest hits – Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Brown Sugar, Tumbling Dice, Miss You, Start Me Up – as well as great covers of material originally recorded by Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Eddie Cochran, the Miracles, the Temptations, Bob Dylan and B.B. King.

With the legendary Sticky Fingers, Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock 'N' Roll and Black And Blue released back in May of this year, followed by Dirty Work, Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge, Bridges To Babylon and A Bigger Bang released in the summer, people everywhere have been rediscovering just why The Rolling Stones are the world’s greatest rock & roll band. With such acknowledged classics as Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You and Undercover, fans have been given the chance to rediscover many of their past favourites and unearth some forgotten gems along the way too ...all re-mastered and sounding better than ever.

Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle covers ‘Wild Horses’, from the Rolling Stones’ iconic 1971 album Sticky Fingers.

What the band remember  Keith – “If there is a classic way of Mick and me working together this is it. I had the riff and the chorus line, Mick got stuck into the verses. Just like Satisfaction. Wild Horses was about the usual thing of not wanting to be on the road, of being a million miles from where you wanna be. We recorded it at the same sessions as Brown Sugar, in the middle of the infamous Altamont tour”.

Mick – “I remember we sat around originally doing this with Gram Parsons and I think his version came out slightly before ours. Everyone always says this was written about Marianne but I don't think it was; that was all well over by then. But I was definitely very inside this piece emotionally. It is very personal, evocative and sad”.
