THE ROLLING STONES’ 1973 CLASSIC ‘GOATS HEAD SOUP’ MULTI‐FORMAT AND DELUXE EDITION FORMATS WILL FEATURE DEMOS, OUTTAKES AND THREE PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD TRACKS INCLUDING “SCARLET” WITH JIMMY PAGE
Another prized jewel in the Rolling Stones’ unmatched catalogue is to be restored to its full glory and more, with the multiformat release of their 1973 classic Goats Head Soup.
The album will be available in multiple configurations, including fourdisc CD and vinyl box set editions, with a treasure trove of unreleased studio and live material. The reissue follows the huge success and acclaim for the Stones’ “Living In A Ghost Town” single and their universally‐admired lockdown performance of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” in Global Citizen’s April special One World: Together at Home.
The box set and deluxe CD and vinyl editions of Goats Head Soup will all feature ten bonus tracks, which include alternate versions, outtakes and no fewer than three previously unheard tracks. Stones devotees worldwide will be thrilled by the inclusion, on the box set and Deluxe editions, of the previously unheard “Scarlet” featuring guitar by Jimmy Page, and a third newly unveiled song, “All The Rage”. The layered guitar textures of “Scarlet” make for a track that’s as infectious and raunchy as anything the band cut in this hallowed era.
As well as Jimmy Page guesting alongside Mick & Keith on the track it also features on bass Rick Grech of Blind Faith fame. “All The Rage” has a wild, post‐“Brown Sugar” strut and the percussive “Criss Cross”rocks and swaggers as only the Stones can. The bonus disc of unreleased material also sheds new light on tracks such as “100 Years Ago”and “Hide Your Love”, with further unissued mixes by Stones insider and acclaimed producer Glyn Johns.
The box set editions will also include Brussels Affair, the 15‐track live album recorded In a memorable show in Belgium, on the autumn 1973 tour that followed the album’s late August release. This much‐sought‐after disc, mixed by Bob Clearmountain, was previously available only in the Rolling Stones’ “official bootleg” series of live recordings in 2012. The Brussels show features the already‐classic “Tumbling Dice”, “Midnight Rambler”, “Jumping Jack Flash” and many others, and includes a sequence of tracks from the then‐new album. “Star Star”is followed by “Dancing With Mr. D”, “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)”and “Angie”.
Additionally, the CD box set offers the original ten‐track album in 5.1 Surround Sound, Dolby Atmos and Hi‐Res mixes, along with the videos for “Dancing With Mr. D”, “Silver Train” and “Angie”. An exclusive 120‐page book will feature a remarkable array of photographs, essays and faithful reproductions of four tour posters from 1973.
