The Rolling Stones have announced an expansive reissue of their 1976 record Black And Blue. The box set, which will be available as a 5LP vinyl version and 4CD edition, will include a Blu-ray disc, a hundred-page hardback book and replica tour poster with both editions. Further formats include a limited edition 5LP release as well as single and two-disc versions. The album has been given a full 2025 remix by Steven Wilson and the set is available to pre-order now.

The Stones’ 13th album, Black And Blue was the band’s first following the departure of guitarist Mick Taylor and marks the moment ex-Faces man Ronnie Wood joined the fray. Wood would appear on three tracks on Black And Blue, officially joining as a member of the Stones for a subsequent US tour

Also included in the set is a disc containing six tracks of previously unreleased recordings, featuring the Jagger and Richards-written I Love Ladies as well as the band’s rendition of Shirley & Company’s Shame, Shame, Shame. The latter will be released with a visualiser tomorrow, 25th September. There's also a full live recording capturing the band live at Earls Court in 1976 and a Blu-ray disc featuring a TV broadcast from a show in Paris the same year.
