Rolling Stones to release ‘R n R' Circus’ with never heard tracks

By editorial board on April 29, 2019

 The release of The Rolling Stones' new album Beggars Banquet was celebrated on 12/5/1968 in London with a food fight with custard pies.   The original cover for the LP was in the form of a plain white invitation, but was later changed.

Stones putting out  three special releases   a remastered and repackaged “Beggars Banquet” vinyl reissue; a restored version of   “Sympathy for the Devil”  expanded reissue of the legendary “Rock and Roll Circus” video and album.

The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus soundtrack album will be reissued by ABKCO in May/June as a 3xLP set, the first time it has ever been released on vinyl.

Today, ABKCO have also released a new lyric video for The Rolling Stones’ “19th Nervous Breakdown”, to mark exactly 53 years to the day it was released as a single in the UK. Watch it below:

 

The third disc in the set will be made up of previously unreleased material from the 1968 TV special.

ABKCO Records had released the  50th anniversary edition of The Rolling Stones‘ Beggars Banquet album in November.


Last upgraded in 2002, the iconic album has been transferred from the original stereo tape to direct stream digital and remastered by mastering master Bob Ludwig.   This is an album that should never sound too clean, and the twin engines of this album — Richards’ acoustic guitar and Charlie Watts’ drums — are made brighter while not losing, for example, the murky swirl of instruments on the fade of “Street Fighting Man.” The remastered limited-edition vinyl reissue includes:

– a gatefold jacket with a special slipcover, including both the rejected original “bathroom-wall” artwork as well as the white cover that replaced it;
– a bonus 12” of the song “Sympathy For the Devil” in mono (the only song from the album to be truly mixed in mono), backed with an etching of the original ‘toilet’ cover;
– a replica of a rare Japanese bonus flexi disc containing a phone interview with Mick Jagger from 1968, originally included with initial Japanese pressings of “Beggars Banquet” and unknown even to many die-hard fans;
– a download code for the album plus interview.

“Sympathy for the Devil” (a.k.a. “One Plus One”): Oct. 5
Legendary director Jean-Luc Godard filmed the group over five days in the studio, during which they just happened to be recording “Sympathy for the Devil,” one of their most iconic and menacing songs. The film — which has been carefully restored in 4K and will be available as a BluRay, DVD and download in North America.

The Rock and Roll Circus”:May/June 2019
Planned as a BBC special, the December 1968 all-star performance was headlined by the Stones and featured John Lennon and Yoko Ono (with Eric Clapton), The Who, Marianne Faithfull, Jethro Tull and others. The Stones were unhappy with their six-song performance at the time and shelved the footage (although The Who’s performance was released a decade later in “The Kids Are Alright” documentary) until finally, in 1996, Abkco released the complete show — which, no matter what the Stones thought, features many tight performances and is a fascinating artifact of the era. This new reissue features:
– a DVD/ Blu-Ray of the performances in wide-screen Dolby Vision, with audio in Dolby Atmos;
– a full-color booklet;
– audio CDs or vinyl editions — including several previously unreleased tracks
