The Rolling Stones – Hackney Diamonds (1 Year Anniversary) - (Blue Splatter Clear Opaque 2-LP Vinyl)
Nearly two decades between studio albums would slow down most bands, but Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood arrived at Hackney Diamonds sounding genuinely hungry rather than nostalgic. Produced by Andrew Watt, the record reconnects the Stones to the raw, guitar-forward energy that defined their early work, while the NYC launch show captured here documents the rare moment a band of this stature debuted new material in a room small enough to feel like a rehearsal space.
Hitting Number 1 in 19 countries on release, Hackney Diamonds marked the return of The Rolling Stones as their first original studio album since 2005’s A Bigger Bang. The album includes the GRAMMY nominated lead single ‘Angry’ alongside ‘Sweet Sounds of Heaven’ featuring vocals from Lady Gaga and keys & piano from Stevie Wonder. Late drummer Charlie Watts features on two tracks, ‘Mess It Up’ and ‘Live By The Sword’ alongside Bill Wyman. The album also includes collaborations with Paul McCartney & Elton John. This special limited edition 1 year anniversary 2LP version of Hackney Diamonds includes Live at Racket NYC featuring the 7 tracks the band performed at the intimate launch event in New York on 19th October 2023 with debut live performances of ‘Angry’, ‘Bite My Head Off’, ‘Whole Wide World’ and ‘Sweet Sounds of Heaven’ with Lady Gaga. The 24 page booklet includes photos from the performance by Kevin Mazur.
