Rolling Stones Black And Blue Super Deluxe Box Set: A Definitive Tribute to a Rock Icon
The Rolling Stones are commemorating their iconic 1976 album Black And Blue with a definitive Super Deluxe Box Set, set to be released globally on November 14. The album marked a new era for the band and will be available in various formats, including a 5LP vinyl box set and a 4CD box set, both featuring a Blu-ray disc, a hundred-page hardback book, and a replica tour poster. A limited edition 5LP version on exclusive Black And Blue marbled vinyl will also be offered, along with streamlined 2-disc and 1-disc formats on both vinyl and CD. Additionally, a limited edition 1LP zoetrope vinyl will be released.
Black And Blue, the Stones' 13th studio album, was the first to feature Ronnie Wood as the band's guitarist, following the departure of Mick Taylor. The album showcased the band's experimental side by incorporating reggae, funk, and soul elements into their rock sound. The reissue includes a six-track disc of previously unreleased recordings, as well as a full live concert recording from the band's residency at London's Earls Court Exhibition Centre in 1976.
The Super Deluxe Box Set also includes a Blu-ray disc with a previously unreleased TV broadcast of the Stones' 1976 show in Paris and Dolby Atmos surround sound mixes of both the studio album and the live Earls Court concert. The package is completed with a 100-page hardback book featuring exclusive photographs and a replica poster from the 1976 Paris concert. The reissue is available for pre-order now and offers a comprehensive look at this pivotal moment in the band's history.
