The Rolling Stones are set to reissue their 1976 album Black and Blue in a super deluxe 4CD + Blu-Ray edition, arriving November 8, 2025. This expanded release not only presents a fresh remix of the original record but also digs deep into the vaults, offering fans unheard outtakes, jams, and full live shows from the era.
The project features a 2025 Steven Wilson remix of the album, unreleased studio sessions, and two complete concerts recorded at London’s Earls Court in May 1976. It also includes a Blu-Ray with restored footage of their Paris performance at Les Abattoirs that same year.

A Legacy Revisited
Originally recorded during a period of transition, Black and Blue captured the Stones experimenting with funk, reggae, and soul influences while auditioning guitarists who might fill Taylor’s shoes. Keith Richards once described it as “a rehearsal with the red light on.” Nearly five decades later, this reissue allows fans to hear that evolution in greater detail, from raw studio jams with Jeff Beck to the swagger of their live shows.
For longtime fans and new listeners alike, this box set is both a time capsule and a celebration of a band unwilling to slow down.
