To commemorate the 1st anniversary of The Rolling Stones’ 2023 number one album Hackney Diamonds (which received a rave review on release here on SonicAbuse), a special edition vinyl edition has been released this winter.
The 2LP release features album singles ‘Angry’, ‘Sweet Sounds of Heaven’ and ‘Mess It Up’, plus 7 additional live recordings performed at the album’s live launch at Racket, New York 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, out now, marks a year since the Stones’ first studio set of original material since 2005 was released. Hackney Diamonds charted at #1 in 19 territories around the world selling over a million units since release. Lead single ‘Angry’ was nominated for Best Rock Song at 2024’s GRAMMY® Awards, whilst the single became the Stones first Top 40 single in the UK in 18 years. This year, the Stones thrilled American audiences with a Hackney Diamonds stadium tour across the US and the album has been nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2025 GRAMMY® Awards.
The 2LP release features exclusive blue splatter effect vinyl discs and is available to purchase here.
