Exile On Main Street To Be Released With Never-Before-Heard Tr...
24 Feb 2010 at 11:00pm
The Rolling Stones' classic album Exile on Main Street is to be re-released with an additional 10 never-before-heard tracks. Regarded as one of the greatest albums in rock 'n' roll history and one of the most defining of the Stones' catalogue, Exile will be available May 17, 2010 in the U.K. and May 18, 2010 in the US. Upon its release more than three decades ago, Exile on Main Street innovatively wove varying musical genres, instruments and even artists into a compelling rhythmic masterpiece. This new compilation features 10 tracks originally recorded during the Exile era and only recently discovered while working on the reissue project. The unearthed tracks, which include such titles as "Plundered My Soul," "Dancing in the Light," "Following the River" and "Pass The Wine" have undergone a unique evolution, while staying true to the essence of the 1972 album. Alternate versions of "Soul Survivor" and "Loving Cup" are also a part of the Exile bonus materials. As a complement to the release of Exile on Main Street, a documentary, "Stones in Exile," has just been completed for fans to view on US Network television and through BBC Worldwide internationally. The documentary features rare, never-before-seen archival film, photos and interviews as well as new conversations with the band and the artists they influence. Produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker John Battsek and directed by Stephen Kijak, who is known for award-winning work on Cinemania and Scott Walker: 30 Century Man, "Stones in Exile" offers an uncommon glimpse into the lives of the band as they created one of the greatest albums of all time.

Rolling Stones Release 'Wild Horses' EP
3 Dec 2009 at 1:04pm
Recorded 40 years ago to the date and released nearly two years later on Sticky Fingers, "Wild Horses" has remained a perennial crowd favorite, constant cover and critical darling for decades, appearing at #334 on Rolling Stone Magazine's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list. Covered perhaps most famously - and recently - by Britain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle, the band's own reworking of the song for their 1995 acoustic live album Stripped might just be the definitive one, but we'll leave that decision up to you. One thing not up for dispute is the hushed excitement that envelops the crowd when the band launches into "Wild Horses" in concert. Those lucky enough to see have seen the band polish this number off and perform it live will know the feeling. Whether you're among the lucky or not, you can experience it with a newly available video of the band performing the haunting song at their 1976 headlining performance at Knebworth Fair. Originally shot for the BBC, but never screened, the video can now be downloaded, along with newly remastered audio of the original song and its live Stripped counterpart on the Wild Horses EP, available exclusively in the UK from iTunes. Click here to get the Wild Horses EP from iTunes UK today. U.S. fans: The EP is currently not available in the U.S. store, but you can get the remastered version of Wild Horses from Sticky Fingers here and the remastered live version from Stripped here.

Rolling Stones Poster Review
by
Rock and The King

"Rolling Stones posters - like the band itself - are the embodiment rock-n-roll. The art is brilliant, simple, fun and thoughtful. The picture posters have captured the band's characters and the mood of the times perfectly throughout their four-decade career. For poster art, sex, drugs and rock-n-roll, the Stones are as good as it gets.

"Rock" at Rock Poster Review

"I must have nearly a dozen Stones posters - mostly from incredible concerts, and some of their early memorabilia have fantastic value. However, my favorite poster to this day is the "Tongue" on a black background. It says everything you need to know about the band. After all, you just can't get enough good tongue these days."
