The Rolling Stones (ever heard of ‘em?) have never been able to sit still for too long. Ahead of their fall “No Filter” tour, the band have announced a fully remastered 40th anniversary reissue of their 1981 album Tattoo You, complete with nine previously unreleased tracks recorded around that time. The deluxe editions also include a 124-page book that documents the band’s life during this era, a Keith Richards picture disc, and Still Life: Wembley Stadium 1982, a full recording of the band’s performance at the titular stadium during the Tattoo You tour, which features covers of The Temptations’ “Just My Imagination” and The Big Bopper’s “Chantilly Lace.”
Jagger and co. have today (Aug. 19) released “Living In The Heart Of Love,” a classic Stones-sounding anthemic rock track that serves as the first of the reissue’s previously unreleased material. Other new works include covers of Jimmy Reed’s “Shame, Shame, Shame” and Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away.”
Tattoo You’s 40th anniversary reissue is available Oct. 22 on Polydor/Interscope and can be preordered here. Below, listen to “Living In The Heart Of Love,” plus a 1981 performance from the Paste archives, and check out the art and full tracklist for the expanded editions further down.
