The Rolling Stones released their latest archival set, Tattoo You: 40th Anniversary today (October 22nd). The deluxe edition features a new remaster of the 1981 nine-week chart-topper, a bonus disc of nine previously unreleased — yet heavily bootlegged tracks — and a two-disc June 1982 performance art London's Wembley Stadium.
Tattoo You was originally released on August 24th, 1981 and was comprised mainly of reworked outtakes from the band's archive dating back to the 1972 sessions for the following year's Goats Head Soup. Tattoo You, which has sold over four million copies in the U.S. alone, featured such instant Stones classics as “Start Me Up,” “Hang Fire,” “Little T &A,” “Worried About You,” and “Waiting On A Friend.”
Among the highlights on the bonus disc is the band's unreleased Goats Head Soup gem, “Fast Talking Slow Walking,” the It's Only Rock N' Roll-era outtake, “Living In The Heart Of Love,” and the 1975 Black And Blue-era, early reggae version of “Start Me Up.”
