The 2020 release will feature Jimmy Page and three brand new songs.
The Rolling Stones are rereleasing their 1973 album Goat Head Soup in multiple configurations, including four-disc CD and vinyl box set editions, with unreleased studio and live material.
The box set and deluxe CD and vinyl editions will feature ten bonus tracks, which include alternate versions, outtakes and three previously unreleased tracks. The first of the new songs, “Criss Cross,” dropped today with an accompanying video and is available with pre-orders of the album, and on all streaming and download services.
The box set and deluxe editions include previously unheard “Scarlet,” featuring guitar by Jimmy Page, and a third newly unveiled song, “All The Rage.”
“The layered guitar textures of “Scarlet” make for a track that’s as infectious and raunchy as anything the band cut in this hallowed era,” a press release reads, “As well as Jimmy Page guesting alongside Mick & Keith on the track it also features on bass Rick Grech of Blind Faith fame… “All The Rage” has a wild, post- “Brown Sugar” strut and the percussive “Criss Cross” rocks and swaggers as only the Stones can.”
The box set editions of Goats Head Soup will also include Brussels Affair, the 15-track live album recorded in a memorable show in Belgium on the autumn 1973 tour that followed the album’s late August release, which was previously available only in the Rolling Stones’ “official bootleg” series of live recordings in 2012.
An exclusive 100-page book, featuring a remarkable array of photographs, essays by writers Ian McCann, Nick Kent and Daryl Easlea and faithful reproductions of three tour posters from 1973, is included in the CD box set.
Goat Head Soup follows the success and acclaim of The Stones’ “Living In A Ghost Town” and performance of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” in Global Citizen’s One World: Together At Home.
