The Rolling Stones

The ABKCO Copyright Releases - RS69TRAX

The close of 2019 marks the 50 year anniversary of one of the most significant periods in Rolling Stones history, and with that the closure of original EUcopyrights of music from 1969. With this comes the rushed and rapid release of music by ABKCO to stake their claim on the their treasured Rolling Stones 1960's Catalog. This is accomplished with the temporary and public release of 131 outtake tracks and live performances from 1969 that includes shows from the 1969 comeback tour of America. The unreleased tracks were "glitched" with a 500Hz frequency tone.

Jagger:

Well alright, well alright, whoo

You make me feel pretty good

Jumpin' Jack Flash 3:43

Jagger:

Thank you kindly

I think I busted a button on my trousers, hope they don't fall down

It's that jumping around man

I have to do it up again

You don't want my trousers to fall down now do you?
