LOS ANGELES (AP) — The wait is over: The Rolling Stones
will soon release new music.
On Monday, the band announced they are preparing to release
their first album of original material in 18 years — since 2005’s
"A Bigger Bang."
Titled "Hackney Diamonds," the band will share details of the
release at an event in East London’s Hackney district on
Wednesday.
Released on June 21, 1965, the Byrds’ debut album, Mr.
Tambourine Man, marked the beginning of the folk-rock
revolution. In just a few months, the Byrds had become
a household name, with a #1 single and a smash-hit
album that married the ringing guitars and backbeat of
the British Invasion with the harmonies and lyrical depth
of folk to create an entirely new sound.
On this day in history, June 1, 1967, the Beatles released "Sgt.
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band," their 8th album — which
became the soundtrack to the "Summer of Love," according
to the official website of the Beatles.
With its 13 songs, the album was recorded in over 400 hours
during a 129-day period.
On a return airplane flight to London in November 1966, Paul
McCartney thought of the idea for this album.
(FOXNEWS) – The short but winding road that made the Beatles
the greatest recording act and pop-culture sensation of all time
ended publicly on this day in history, April 10, 1970.
Paul McCartney announced a "break with the Beatles" in press
materials that accompanied the scheduled release of his first
solo album a week later (below).
His announcement confirmed months of rumors about the
band’s dissolution.
"Personal differences, business differences, musical differences,
but most of all because I have a better time with my family,"
McCartney said in the statement.
NEW YORK (AP) — The Rolling Stones plan to release what
they’re calling their "ultimate live greatest hits album," with
appearances by Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Gary Clark Jr.
and The Black Keys, early next year.
"GRRR Live!" contains songs recorded live on Dec. 15, 2012,
at Newark, New Jersey’s Prudential Center. That night saw
guest appearances by The Black Keys ("Who Do You Love?"),
Clark and John Mayer ("Going Down"), Lady Gaga ("Gimme
Shelter"), Mick Taylor ("Midnight Rambler") and hometown
hero Bruce Springsteen ("Tumbling Dice").
Shown on pay-per-view in 2012, the concert has not otherwise
been available to fans until now.
It also features some of the band’s greatest hits, including "It’s
Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It)," "Honky Tonk Women," "Start
Me Up," "Sympathy For the Devil" and "(I Can’t Get No)
Satisfaction."
