The Rolling Stones’ thirteenth studio album, 1976’s Black and Blue, reached No. 1 in the United States and No. 2 in the band’s native United Kingdom, and yielded a top ten hit single on both sides of the Atlantic with the ballad “Fool to Cry.” Now, it’s set for the super deluxe treatment, just shy of its 50th anniversary. Built around a brand-new remix by the ubiquitous Steven Wilson, the set will be released by Interscope and UMe in a variety of formats:

• • 5LP Super Deluxe Box Set;
  • 4CD Super Deluxe Box Set;
  • Limited Edition 5LP Marbled Vinyl Super Deluxe Box Set;
  • 2LP / 2CD (Album + Outtakes & Jams);
  • 1LP / 1CD (2025 Steven Wilson Mix); and
  • 1LP Zoetrope Vinyl.

The upcoming editions all feature the original album as remixed by Steven Wilson plus a disc of previously unreleased recordings.  The Super Deluxe CD and LP sets then continue with Live at Earls Court 1976, taken from the band’s six-night May ’76 residency at the (now-demolished) Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London.  Billy Preston, Ian Stewart, and Ollie Brown – all of whom played on Black and Blue – joined them for the concerts.  The 5LP and 4CD SDEs also include a Blu-ray Disc with Wilson’s new mixes in stereo and Dolby Atmos; stereo and Atmos audio of the Earls Court show; and a television broadcast of their Paris concert from just weeks later in June 1976.  These editions boast a 100-page hardcover book with liner notes by Paul Sexton, and a replica tour poster.  2CD or 2LP and 1CD or 1LP versions with Wilson’s new album mix only will also be available, along with a limited-edition zoetrope vinyl pressing.  A 5LP pressing on marbled “black and blue” vinyl will be available from select retailers, including the Stones’ official storefront, only.
