The Rolling Stones, the legendary British rock band, announced Thursday the reissue of their 1976 album ‘Black and Blue’, which will be released on November 14 with six unreleased tracks, a new mastering and various sales formats, announced their record label Universal.
The band, which celebrates almost five decades of its thirteenth studio album, made the news public with the release of a new version of the song ‘Shame, Shame, Shame’, by Shirley & Company, in a “more energetic” format and with a graphic video clip composed of photographs and clippings of his career as a ‘collage’ that was released on Thursday.
The Rolling Stones and their album ‘Black and Blue’
‘Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame’, originally composed and produced by Sylvia Robinson, is part of this re-release of a new album with six previously unreleased tracks, which also includes the Mick Jagger and Keith Ricards composition ‘I Love a Lady’ and four other instrumentals recorded during the 1975 sessions.
“Musically, ‘Black and Blue’ showcased the Rolling Stones’ adventurous spirit by infusing reggae, funk and soul into their signature rock sound,” Universal Music explained in a statement.
‘Black and Blue’ was the first album following the addition of Ronnie Wood as guitarist to replace Mick Taylor and, in one of the different formats, the band includes a new interview in which Wood reflects on joining the group.
“At that point, I knew that was where I belonged,” Wood says in the interview.
Upon its release, it reached number one in the charts for four consecutive weeks, going platinum immediately, while in the UK, ‘Black and Blue’ managed to climb to number two in the charts in May 1976.
The reissue package, consisting of several discs, will also include the complete recording of the live show the band gave in six consecutive concerts at London’s Earls Court Exhibition Centre, where they were accompanied by artists such as Ian Stewart, Billy Preston and Ollie Brown, reported Agencia EFE.
