The Rolling Stones / Tattoo You 40th anniversary reissue
1981 album revisited and expanded
The Rolling Stones‘ 1981 album Tattoo You will be reissued in October across six physical formats including a five-disc super deluxe edition.
The original album was put together mostly from studio outtakes from the 1970s and features well known singles such as Waiting On A Friend and the transatlantic top ten hit Start Me Up.
The album has been remastered (by Stephen Marcussen) and selected formats offer Lost & Found: Rarities a nine-track collection of previously unreleased songs from the period of the album’s original release, newly completed with additional vocals and guitar by the band. One of these tracks is called ‘Living In The Heart Of Love’ which you can listen to below.
This bonus disc of rarites comes with the two-CD deluxe, and the 4CD+vinyl LP super deluxe edition. The latter also includes two additional CDs of live performance with Still Life – Wembley Stadium 1982, a memento of the band’s London show in June that year from the Tattoo You tour. The vinyl record in the super deluxe is a picture disc.

The box set features a special lenticular sleeve and comes with a 124-page book featuring over 200 rare photos from the recording sessions and world tour and includes interviews with producer Chris Kimsey & photographer Hubert Kretzscmar.
There are no less than three vinyl versions of the Tattoo You reissue: A single LP vinyl remaster, a 2LP vinyl deluxe with the nine bonus tracks and a 5LP vinyl box set which includes the album, bonus tracks and the Wembley gig. Note: the vinyl box also includes the 124-page book and lenticular artwork, just like the CD super deluxe!
Tattoo You will be reissued on 22 October 2021.
