Rare Stones Videos Bundled with New Boxed Set

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Rolling Stones' former label is gearing up to release a DVD featuring two live performances and the video clip for their 1968 comeback single "Jumpin' Jack Flash."
The disc will be included in ABKCO Records' final installment of a boxed-set trilogy reproducing all the band's early singles in miniaturized sleeves with original artwork. "The Rolling Stones Singles 1968-1971," boasting nine CDs, is set for U.S. release March 1 with a list price of $59.95.
The live performances on the DVD are of "Time is on My Side," from their 1964 appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show," and "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" from a September 1966 show at London's Royal Albert Hall. The DVD is rounded out by director Michael Lindsay-Hogg's clip for "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and a 2003 video that accompanied the Neptunes' remix of "Sympathy for the Devil."
The title notwithstanding, the box includes some singles released after the Stones split acrimoniously with ABKCO owner Allen Klein in 1972.
"I Don't Know Why"/"Try A Little Harder" and "Out of Time"/"Jiving Sister Fanny" were released in 1975 as singles from ABKCO's unauthorized odds-and-sods album "Metamorphosis."
Additionally, one CD contains four versions of "Sympathy for the Devil," which was originally recorded in 1968 and released as a U.K. single in 1976. That disc is rounded out by "Sympathy" remixes that were released in 2003 from the Neptunes, Fatboy Slim and Full Phatt.
One notable omission is the live version of Chuck Berry's "Let it Rock," which was issued as a bonus track on U.K. configurations of the 1971 "Sticky Fingers" single "Brown Sugar"/"Bitch." An ABKCO representative said the label did not seek to license the track from Virgin Records, which currently handles distribution of the Stones' catalog from "Sticky Fingers" onwards.
ABKCO declined to say what Stones projects it was working on now. The label has been uncharacteristically prolific in the past 18 months, sating fans with reissues of 22 early albums, and DVDs for "Rock and Roll Circus" and Jean-Luc Godard's arty film "Sympathy for the Devil." It also partnered with Virgin on the "40 Licks" hits album.

There was another thread about this a couple of weeks back. These boxed sets are nicely done but the first two did NOT have any sort of DVD so that's a nice addition. |
