A Legacy Revisited

Originally recorded during a period of transition, Black and Blue captured the Stones experimenting with funk, reggae, and soul influences while auditioning guitarists who might fill Taylor’s shoes. Keith Richards once described it as “a rehearsal with the red light on.” Nearly five decades later, this reissue allows fans to hear that evolution in greater detail, from raw studio jams with Jeff Beck to the swagger of their live shows.

For longtime fans and new listeners alike, this box set is both a time capsule and a celebration of a band unwilling to slow down.
