As the Rolling Stones roll on with their "50 and Counting" tour, the rockers will reissue three of their albums on clear vinyl later this month. The band is readying remastered versions of their 1968 album Beggars Banquet, their 1969 release Let It Bleed and the 1971 double-LP collection Hot Rocks 1964–1971, all on 180-gram clear vinyl.

The reissues, the first in a planned series called "The Rolling Stones Clearly Classic," showcase the band's formative years in the late Sixties and early Seventies. Beggars Banquet was the group's last full album with founding guitarist Brian Jones, while Let It Bleed introduced his successor, Mick Taylor, along with classic songs including "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want."

The Rolling Stones' "50 and Counting" tour continues tonight at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
