The Rolling Stones will reissue their 1976 album Black and Blue in November, across at least six physical formats.

All formats use a brand new Steven Wilson stereo remix, in place of the original, while a blu-ray included with the 4CD and 5LP box sets (it’s not available separately) offers a Steven Wilson Dolby Atmos Mix as well as a hi-res version of his stereo mix. The blu-ray also includes a live recording from the Stones’ 1976 Earls Court show (21 tracks).

There’s a bit of repetition on the box sets and they break down like this

  • CD 1 / LP 1: Steven Wilson 2025 Remix
  • CD 2 / LP 2: Outtakes and Jams
  • CD 3 & 4 / LPs 3, 4 & 5: Live at Earls Court
  • Blu-ray: Atmos & Stereo Mixes, Les Rolling Stones Aux Abattoirs, Paris-Juin 1976, Live at Earls Court 1976
Black and Blue 4CD+blu-ray box set

It’s worth noting that the Earls Court show on the blu-ray is in Dolby Atmos and “Les Rolling Stones Aux Abattoirs, Paris-Juin 1976”, on the same disc, is a “previously unreleased live TV recording from Paris”. So very good content, indeed on this blu-ray, although you have to buy the box to get it, as mentioned previously.

The ‘Outtakes and Jams’ disc in the boxes offer previously unreleased audio, including the high-energy disco stomp of Shirley and Company’s ‘Shame, Shame, Shame’ and jams with guest guitarists including Jeff Beck, Canned Heat’s Harvey Mandel and Robert A. Johnson.

Both super deluxe box sets (vinyl and CD) come with a 100-page hardcover book featuring a brand new essay by Paul Sexton, exclusive photographs from the album sessions and tour, and a replica poster from the 1976 Paris concert.

2LP and 2CD editions of Black and Blue pair Wilson’s new stereo mix with the six ‘Outtakes and Jams’ on the second CD (or LP) from the box set. There’s also single CD and vinyl editions featuring just the new stereo mix and, apparently, a Zoetrope vinyl is also available!

Black and Blue in all its new guises will be released on 14 November 2025, via UMR.
