Polydor/UMeThe Rolling Stones have dug deep into their archives to compile a new album featuring a collection of live performances that aired on various BBC radio shows from 1963 to 1965.
The Rolling Stones — On Air will be released on December 1, and will be available a single CD, a deluxe two-CD set, a high-quality vinyl LP and a limited-edition colored vinyl disc.
The album features recordings from such U.K. radio programs as Saturday Club, Top Gear, Rhythm and Blues and The Joe Loss Pop Show. The track list includes covers of various rock ‘n’ roll, blues, R&B and soul tunes, as well as renditions of original Stones songs like “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “The Last Time” and “The Spider and the Fly.” Eight of the songs were never recorded commercially by The Stones, and never appeared on any of their previous albums.
On Air‘s lead track, a rendition of Chuck Berry‘s “Come On” recorded in October 1963 on the Saturday Club show, has been released as the album’s first single, and is available now at digital and streaming services. You can also listen to the tune now at The Stones’ official VEVO YouTube channel.
The new album album is a companion to the recently published book Rolling Stones On Air in the Sixties, which chronicles the history of the band’s appearances on various BBC radio and television programs during the decade.
