The Rolling Stones 40th anniversary album ‘Forty Licks’ is to be released on vinyl for the first time and also released as a digital album for the first time.
That means three Stones tracks will be on vinyl and streaming services for the first time as well.
Forty Licks featured the two previously unreleased songs ‘Stealing My Heart’, ‘Key To Your Love’ and ‘Losin’ My Touch’.
‘Stealing My Heart’, ‘Keys To Your Love’ and ‘Losin’ My Touch’ were recorded between May and June 2002 at the Guillaume Tell Studios in France.
‘Keys To Your Love’ has the feel of Soul Stones of the mid-70s ‘Black and Blue’ era.
‘Losin’ My Touch’ was written by Keith in Jamaica. Keith says he was listening to Norah Jones ‘Come Away With Me’, which was released a few months before the sessions. Keith would later recruit Norah for a duet for his 2015 solo album ‘Crosseyed Heart’.
‘Forty Licks’ was originally released on CD on 30 September 2002. It was the first Stones compilation to cover both the pre-1970 Decca/London releases and subsequent post-1970 releases from ‘Sticky Fingers’ and onwards.
The Rolling Stones’ Forty Licks, the album that gathered together fully three dozen of the most enduring and anthemic songs from the group’s peerless career and added four then-new tracks to their incredible story, is to be released digitally for the first time on July 26. Two days later, it will be available, again for the first time, in a lavish, limited edition four-disc, 180-gram black vinyl version, housed in a wide spined gatefold sleeve. At the same time, Stones fans will also have an opportunity to stream new Dolby Atmos versions of the album’s 40 tracks.
