Stones Sticky FingersWhile I was away, The Rolling Stones had gone and announced that they will be reissuing one of their timeless classics, Sticky Fingers (1971). No doubt, this savvy readership has already noted this news, BUT, in case you haven’t, here it is:

On May 25 (UK), May 26 (US), Universal (the new Stones issuance HQ) will re-release Sticky Fingers in several iterations that will include previously unavailable content. Included in the offerings are alternate versions of “Brown Sugar” (with Eric Clapton!), “Wild Horses”, “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking”, “Bitch”, and “Dead Flowers”. In addition to those alternate takes, there will be a variable sort of live cuts (see track-listings below). The major bonus is, of course, new remastering.

Of course, you can’t have these without them being delivered in a variety of forms. These will include CD, 2CD Deluxe Edition, DD in increasing sets (Standard, Deluxe, Super Deluxe), LP, 2LP, a Limited Edition Deluxe 2LP with reproduction of the Spanish cover, a 2CD/DVD Deluxe boxset, and a 3CD/DVD Super Deluxe Edition Boxset.

The standard CD will come with a 12-page booklet, while the Deluxe 2CD doubles to a 24-page booklet. The LP set offers a 12″x 12″ insert. The 2LP Box offers the cover with the zipper. The 2CD/DVD Box offers a 72-page hardback book, with the DVD providing two live tracks from The Marquee (1971). The 3CD/DVD Super Deluxe Edition provides the live Leeds University (1971), Get Your Leeds Lungs Out on a 13-track CD, a 7″ vinyl single of “Brown Sugar”/”Wild Horses”, a poster, 4 postcards, a mini replica cutout of the band, and a keepsake 120-page hardbound book.
