Goats Head Box

Another prized jewel in the Rolling Stones' catalog is to be restored to its full glory with the September 4th, 2020, multi format release of their 1973 classic "Goats Head Soup". The album will be available in multiple configurations, including 4 disc 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 TV special 'One World : Together @ Home'.

The box set and deluxe CD and vinyl editions of "Goats Head Soup" will all feature 10 bonus tracks, which include alternate versions, outtakes and no fewer than 3 previously unheard tracks. The 1st of these to be unveiled, “Criss Cross”, is available as an instant grat track with pre-orders of the album.

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 3rd 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 and Keith on the track, it also features Rick Grech on bass 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 of "Goats Head Soup" 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 and vinyl box sets offer the original 10 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 100 page book will feature a remarkable array of photographs, essays by writers Ian McCann, Nick Kent and Daryl Easlea and faithful reproductions of three tour posters from 1973.
