! The Rolling Stones announce greatest hits album
The Rolling Stones, ABKCO Music & Records and Universal Music Group are pleased to announce the release of GRRR! by the Rolling Stones on the 12th November 2012 for the world, excluding North America, and on the 13th November 2012 in North America.

Available in five different formats, including a three-CD 50 track version including 50 tracks, and a four-CD super-deluxe version gathering a whopping 80 tracks, the collection tells the fascinating ongoing story of the Greatest Rock’n'Roll Band In The World, from their high octane version of Chuck Berry’s “Come On”, their first single issued in June 1963, via the thrilling chart-toppers “The Last Time”, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”, “Get Off Of My Cloud”, “Jumping Jack Flash”, “Honky Tonk Women” and the perennial juke-box and concert favourites “Brown Sugar”, “Tumbling Dice”, “Miss You” and “Start Me Up”, all the way to the present day with the inclusion of “Gloom And Doom” and “One Last Shot”, two new studio recordings recently completed by the group in Paris, France in August 2012.

These brand new recordings constitute the first time Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood have all been together in the recording studio since completing the exalted A Bigger Bang album in 2005, and follow on from the critically-acclaimed expanded re-releases of the historic 40th Anniversary live Madison Square Garden concert Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out in November 2009, and of two of their seventies masterworks, Exile on Main St., in May 2010, and Some Girls, in November 2011.

All GRRR! formats will feature a striking painting by award-winning American artist Walton Ford, who has created the latest in a long line of iconic artwork that has always been part of the band’s DNA.

In celebration of the Rolling Stones’ incredible journey, an innovative campaign has been launched to reveal their GRRR! Greatest Hits album sleeve using 3D Augmented Reality.

During a three week teaser campaign fans were invited to download the free uView app in preparation for the announcement. From today, using the uView app fans can scan the GRRR! sleeve and watch the stunning imagery come to life in 3D animation right before their eyes. The campaign will have further exciting updates coming soon. The use of one of the most advanced forms of mobile technology currently around solidifies The Rolling Stones as one of the most innovative bands in the world and as relevant as they have always been. The technology has been developed in partnership with Aurasma, the leaders in image recognition and augmented reality technology.

sc uk

I QUITE DIG THE COVER.
BORED BY THE PRODUCT.
WILL WE GET EDITED VERSIONS OF OUR HITS LIKE ON FORTY LICKS?

i shall "lease" (see Bruce Willis) the 2 new songs off itunes.

i won't be "buying" this product in any format

All hits will be edited for length and for content.

gonna be a tough day on Rocks Off.

This is dumb.  Just make a new record that cooks, do a tour, go home, count all your money, and call it a day.  DONE.

GRRRRRReatly Disappointed.

The 800 pound gorrilla in the room is the fact they cannot make a new record.

The target audience for this must be the Justin Beiber crowd

By comparison: I saw Leonard Cohen perform in the Amsterdam Olympic Stadium the other week. He has a fine new album  out since earlier this year and, aged 77, gives three hour+ performances with a great mix of old and new tunes. He can do so, because his recent offerings do no suck. Leonard charged 80 euro's for a good seat in the house, and asked 15 euro's for his latest cd that only has new songs on it.

I've said it ever since they made ABB: the Stones have lost their mojo in the studio. I still enjoy the gigs - even if it's warhorses I'm a sucker for their tunes - but deluxe reissues aside everything else is just embarrassing. I'm not buying grrrrrrrr because I'm not an idiot.

How much crap can a band pull? Weeks of spamming Facebook with two eyes and they come up with 2 (!!) new songs? Jesus.

GRRR! is the title and the fans' reaction
