The Rolling Stones are set to release a special vinyl edition of Hackney Diamonds in commemoration of the 1st anniversary of the 2023 chart-topping album.
The 2 LP release features album singles “Angry,” “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” and “Mess It Up,” plus seven additional live recordings performed at the album’s live launch at Racket NYC in October 2023, including “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” with Lady Gaga, as well as performances of “Shattered,” “Tumbling Dice,” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.”
The new edition will be available on December 6th via Universal Music Group.
Hackney Diamonds was Rolling Stones’ twenty-fourth studio album. It was released on October 20, 2023 on Polydor and was the first album of original material by the Rolling Stones since 2005’s A Bigger Bang and their first since the 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts, who contributed to some tracks in 2019.
Produced by Andrew Watt, it features guest contributions from Elton John, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman.
Hackney Diamonds charted at No. 1 in 19 territories worldwide, selling over a million units since release. Lead single “Angry” was nominated for Best Rock Song at 2024 Grammy Awards.
The 2 LP release features exclusive blue splatter effect vinyl discs. A 24-page booklet includes photos from the performance by Kevin Mazur.
