10 Of The Best: The Stones In The ’70s
In June, The Rolling Stones’ ninth album, 1971’s Sticky Fingers, is reissued in a bewildering number of formats; from standard remastered CD and LPs to deluxe and super deluxe boxed editions on CD, vinyl and digital. Bonus goodies include previously unreleased alternate takes of album tracks, a March ’71 live show presented as Get Yer Leeds Lungs Out, DVD footage of two tracks from a Marquee gig from the same month, a 7″ coupling ‘Brown Sugar’ and ‘Wild Horses’, various books, postcards and other ephemera. Oh, and not forgetting a real zip!
