Rolling Stones to release new box-set material
The Rolling Stones have plans to release new box-sets from their Stones Archive Store.
The Rolling Stones have plans to release new box-sets
from their Stones Archive Store. Last year they released the Brussels
Affair box set which cost $750, and was sold both online and as part of
ticket sales for the 2012 shows. The next release is reportedly a package for their 26-song set at Virginia's Hampton Coliseum on December 18th, 1981 - where, on Keith Richards' 38th birthday, he hit a fan on the head with his Telecaster. Packaging will include a DVD of the show, vinyl and possibly a replica of Keith Richards' guitar pick, with some signed by Richards.
"You just look at it and you go, 'Wow, this is beautiful,'" says Tom Bennett, chief executive officer of Bravado (Universal Music's merchandising division). "It's a great gift whether it's your 50th birthday or 40th birthday or your wedding. It's not cheap, but it was never meant to be cheap."
